As of today the KNGwilson blog has merged with my other blog “Lucky Me and The Little Things” There will be no more posts in this blog, instead all new (and old) posts will be in here.
It just makes more sense for me to put everything together in one blog, as everything is merged together in my life.
That is all.

It’s pretty crazy to me that kindergartners are required to do homework, but they are. Fortunately it’s only 15 minutes, 4 days a week, and it helps us to get involved with the things Nolan is learning at school during the day. Kindergarten today sure isn’t the kindergarten I went to 25 years ago. The times. They are a changing. Fortunately Nolan has started to enjoy his homework. But I often think it’s more about the rewards than the homework.
After his homework, one of his rewards is that he gets to watch this little youtube video of a man named Michael Rosen performing his own version of “We are going on a bear hunt.”
Shortly after starting kindergarten this was a song he came home with, and he wanted me to sing it along with him. I had never heard of it before, so I searched the internet for the words so I could do it with him. That brought me to the video mentioned above. Nolan about peed his pants the first 10 times he watched it, and he’s been addicted to it ever since. I took the picture above as he was watching it again a few days ago. Here is it is below so you can see the magic for yourself.
Pretty fantastic huh!
Also, in the picture above you can see the camera that never leaves his side anymore. It’s been like his third arm the past 3 days. Every day he’s been taking more pictures, and every day Greg and I love going through them all and seeing all the things that he deemed picture-worthy that day. I will upload the last two days to picasa before the day is over today.

Nolan got a hold of my old camera yesterday, after weeks of harassing my current (nice aka expensive) camera with no luck. After he got his hands on my oldie-but-goodie camera, he quickly named it ‘Nolan’s camera’ and then ran around the house for hours announcing all the things he was taking pictures of.

It was by far one of the cutest and most heart warming things I have even seen him do. For him to run around this excited with something other than a car or a vacuum was really exciting for me. I quickly noticed that he was methodically taking pictures of all his favorite things. Mommy, daddy, Sasha, Lucky, Sasha’s ‘house’ (her crate), the smoke detector, his red vacuum, his yellow vacuum (yes, he has two now), the microwave, the oven, the stove, his bed, and on and on. I loved going through it and seeing the world from Nolan’s perspective.

To see all of the magic, check out them out on picasa. He just now retuned from school yelling ‘where is my camera!!’ so I imagine by the end of the day today it will be filled up with today’s images too.
We spent the weekend in Wilmington this past weekend. I had a two day show in downtown, so Nolan and Greg came along to hang out at the beach for those two days, and then we stayed an extra day so I could get in a day of fun in the sun and sand too. I uploaded a bunch of pictures of the time in flickr, so check them out there.
There are few things Nolan likes better than being outside. Today I took him for a walk at the Arboretum which we started doing last year this time too, and it’s fun to slowly see some color and flowers starting to dot throughout the dry and brown winter landscape.
Nolan spent most of the time running around and ‘being a race car’ and fondling the daffodils while he was there. All the while ofcourse also doing a whole lot of talking.
