Nikolai is a master paper plane maker.
I know... sideways again. I'll have to go and switch all of those. But check out those eyes! This is one of my favorite pictures of Nikolai.
Nikolai loves his baby and she loves him too. Look how she is studying him.

Nikolai is my oldest. I cannot believe he is 8 years old. Sometimes I think him and Chesley should still be babies with no other cousins. He loves animals and he loves science. He does science experiments around the house and his favorite books to read are his animal facts books. Once when he was about four years old we were at the zoo walking behind a family with a boy who was maybe 9 years old. That boy turned to his mom and asked "Can we go see the Cheetah's?" She gushed over him and couldn't believe he knew what the cheetah's were. I was so confused because my four year old not only knew what a cheetah was but could tell you it was part of the large cat family and was the fastest land animal. He could even do a fairly accurate rendition of it's call. Nikolai has always had a knack for information like that. Nikolai started cub scouts this year and has really enjoyed all the boy stuff he gets to do. He just went to cub scout day camp and came home covered with mud and happy as could be. He got to shoot arrows and BB guns and swim and play water soccer and tug of war and splash in all the puddles he could find. Nikolai is so sweet to his baby sister. He loves her and is so gentle when he plays with her. He'll tell anyone that she is not cute, she is BEAUTIFUL! Nikolai has a witty sense of humor and is so much fun to hang out with.
This is Nikolai feeding the Sting Rays at the Zoo.
