We went up to Rockford today with Dan and Nancy to have lunch with Grandma Fowle at The Corner Bar, which is famous for its hot dogs. We had a tasty lunch and enjoyed catching up with Grandma. She hadn't seen Nathan since Christmas, and couldn't believe how much he's grown and changed in the last few months. He was a very good boy at the restaurant, although toward the end of the meal he was getting a little restless, so he and Todd went on a tour of the restaurant.
After lunch we walked over to the Wolverine shoe store to get Nathan some sandals for the summer (his first pair of Tevas!). It was several blocks from the restaurant, and Nathan walked almost the WHOLE way! Just this weekend he has really embraced walking as something that he wants to do in order to get somewhere, rather than just a silly trick that makes mommy and daddy happy. He was SO proud of himself, walking down the sidewalk like a big boy. Unfortunately, with greater mobility comes greater potential for injury, and N toppled over onto the sidewalk, almost caught himself, but then bonked his forehead on the concrete. :( Needless to say, there were tears, and there's now a pretty impressive scrape/goose-egg on his forehead. I'm sure it is the first of many he'll have in his life, poor kid.
