Yes, Nolan has officially started throwing tantrums on a regular basis. I can feel when it is coming. I feel it deep within. I'll set him down (usually after he's climbed onto the dining table), take a deep breath, and then he'll scream. Oh yeah, really scream. Not cute. He did it at church today too. We had to leave a few minutes before the closing prayer and I was already in the foyer for half the meeting anyway! I'm starting to understand why parents count down to nursery age. Although, that won't help with sacrament meeting. Sunday afternoon was filled with many of these outbursts and I was at my wits end... just ask Justin. I'm hoping he's cutting a tooth (Nolan that is... Justin has all his teeth). His one-year molar popped through but it's not in all the way.
On a happier note, we had some good times this week. I took Nolan swimming at the indoor pool with some other moms in the neighborhood. They have a lazy river, a kiddie pool, and lots of things that squirt and splash water. He did it all, including the water slide with me. He liked it the first time, but we got going a little fast the second time. We flew into the water at the end, and I couldn't find my footing for a second. He gasped a little when we came up and then smiled. What a champ!
And Nolan already wants to be a grown-up. He wants to sweep the floor all the time. I just wish he'd do a better job of it! I have to sweep after every meal of his. And of course, he saw Grandpa talking on the cell phone so he needed to do it too. And lastly, we went to the park to see Ryan's (his cousin) first soccer game. He enjoyed swinging on the swings.
It has finally warmed up and Justin and I were out working in the yard again. We got some weed block fabric put down and it felt good to plant some flowers. I just hope the warm weather lasts!

I love your blog. I try to check it out everyday along with the Sorenson fam blog. Way cute. Good job Kenzee!
That's too bad about the tantrums. Ethan has had a few, but not like you described...yet. He does this funny thing though where if he is mad he will raise his voice in babble and point his finger at us like he is cursing. We can't help but laugh. Nolan looks so cute with that broom. I can't wait until we can train these boys to clean our houses!!
Hang in there. He'll be in nursery before you know it! Love that little boy!!
Thankfully, Kate is past the screaming tantrums, but you never know when they will start back up. It's good to see that Nolan is earning his keep!
That's great that you are teaching Nolan to help with the chores early. This is coming in handy now that I am big and pregnant. I have Rocky doing a lot of the grunt work for me like picking stuff up, emptying the dishwasher and handing me the dishes and taking clothes out of the dryer. It helps! Good luck with those tantrums! They pass.
