On Sunday, we put on our Sunday best and headed to Essex County for the christening of Baby Elizabeth. Mommy’s the godmother, so it was obviously a big day. The service was held in this centuries-old church in the middle of the rolling hills and fields of eastern England. It was a beautiful ceremony… or so I’m told. You see, Mommy sat at the front of the church, since she was in the ceremony, while Daddy and Nyan stayed at the back with a few other young’uns. As Daddy kind of feared, we weren’t three minutes in before Nyan got wiggly and restless. “Mommy! Mommy!” he called out. Totally expected, but not all that appropriate. So we went outside and played in the car and wandered around the church cemetery. Ah well.

Immediately afterwards, people were milling about outside the church, chit-chatting and whatnot. And Nyan, well, he thought Mommy needed a flower:

Then the party moved to Elizabeth’s country estate for food and festivities. It was pretty crowded but Nyan didn’t mind, as he kept busy playing with balloons and wandering around:

And was there a big purple ball to play with? Why yes, yes there was:

We’ve been teaching Nyan how to throw and catch a ball lately. This is a good thing; he needs the work! Here we can see his throwing skills, such as they are, a couple weeks back.

(Of course, Nyan being Nyan, he also wants to show off his skills at throwing his toys and other things. So clearly we need to teach him some limits as well…)

Just a couple videos from a few weeks ago, in the continuing series of What Nyan Does After School. Here we have him riding his horse, digging through his toy box, looking out the window… all in a day’s work for our hero.

We had a four-day weekend for Easter, and it kicked off with Nyan having a good Friday on Good Friday. First we visited the museum/aquarium – as you saw in a previous post – and then later in the day, Nyan practiced his drawing skills with a box of crayons. Good times. The rest of the weekend was up and down – some good times, some not so good times; more on that in a later post. For now, please enjoy this video of young Nyan Thomas being an artiste.
