Determination

It's moments like this one that I wish we had digital video capability. You should have seen Nathan Sunday night after dinner. The Sunday newspaper with all the flyers was in a pile on an endtable in the family room. Mike was sitting on the floor watching the red carpet show at the Oscars with me. Nathan was running around playing.

Suddenly Nathan picked up a sheet of newspaper off the pile, opened it up, walked over to Mike and placed it on his lap. Then without a smile he walked back to the pile, picked up another sheet, and walked back over to place it in another spot on Mike's lap. Rinse, lather, repeat about 50 times. Here's the scene:

Grabbing a paper from the stack behind.

Placing on Daddy's lap.

Opening paper for more coverage.

This continued on for at least 20 minutes.

With a look of sheer determination.

Until the last sheet of newspaper was moved.
