nathan asked once why the words “made in china” are on so many things.
so i explained it to him, and havent heard anything about it in like a year. until tonight.
he walked up to me, perplexed, holding a toy in his hands and peering at it closely.
“mom.”
“yes.”
“why do the china people keep sending all of their toys over here?”
i laughed really hard, out loud and grabbed him in a big hug.
and explained it again.
i am pretty sure the kid thought that if we had all of the toys from china, it meant that the kids in china must not have anything to play with!
that is so funny! i LOVE kids the most. and really i can totally see why he would think that. i wish the china kids would come to my house and take all of their toys back. hahah!
You can really see McKenna in him in this pic. I don’t know if it’;s the chin or the teeny freckles – or both. Something just made me think of her, too. :)
I love this picture of Nathan.
I love the questions that little people ask. Often, they totally re-shape my perspective!
Totally cracking!!! And Nathan is gorgeous! Watch out ladies! Or at least your daughters.
such a sweet boy, that one. And gorgeous to boot!! :-)
This child is simply precious. GORGEOUS! – Inside and out. I love and admire his sweet and contemplative nature. Such a great kid. Does he know that I am one of his biggest fans? He is THE Nate The Great!
This picture of Nate is absolutely haunting….i adore it~
What a beautiful boy inside and out. He is wonderful! Great capture!
Today my four year old asked. How do spiders talk to their spider friends… it has me about to google it. I am now concerned the spiders are lonely. Maybe they blog?
– turns out they sense vibrations!
love this pic.

he’s a GEM!

What an amazing photo! My daughter just started asking the exact same thing this week when examining her little brothers cars and trains… so that led to a little discussion on globalization and ethics and buying STUFF. I don’t know if she was ready for it. She’s only 6. But I kept it sorta simple! At least I tried. But I love how curious kids are. The questions have been coming at a rapid pace. Thank goodness for the internet for some of them!
wow is he ever gorgeous!
And I love the story of Anna’s journey to Libby Lu. Wait until she gets the ‘rock star’ makeover. I have never seen so much glitter in all my life :) And when they come out and do their dance in spandex outfits, it’s the funniest thing ever.
completely priceless!
WOW, can those eyes get any bigger? They just draw you in! Great photo of a beautiful boy! Love the conversation too—kids are so curious, and it’s great you have this saved now.
I have NEVER seen a more INSANELY gorgeous picture. so inspired by that talent.
this picture is truly breathtaking….
i love the way children’s minds work.
that’s one handsome dude you have there.

omg! what an amazing photo of your son. he is so beautiful and just a pure image of how i imagine little california boys to be!
Love the story and love those freckles. Great post!
I got teary eyed when I saw this pic..simply
beAUTIFUL
too cute. my girl said to me the other day, (all wide-eyed and incredulous)….”mom, this toy was made in CHINA! That makes it sooo special…did you know that China is very far away, mom?!”
good grief that is a gorgeous child! (and the photography is none too shabby!) Thanks for sharing the great stories and the beautiful photos.
My daughter at one point also notice that everything said “Made in China” and asked about it and we explained the whole thing to her. After that she kept pointing out everything she grab where it was made. One day she says,
“Mom, was everything made in china?”
I say, “Yes, except you”
For awhile she would tell everyone, My mom says everything was made in china, except for me. LOL!
cracking up because Jake just asked that this morning in the bathtub this morning while playing with his toys.
What a sweetheart our beautiful boy is!! Out of the mouths of babes, I mean AKA growing boy…..
I want this picture!!!!!
First off, I LOVE that pic of your son, he has gorgeous eyes! and I love the random thoughts that go through kids’ minds!
