Uncooperative Paint Cans

Nate, you love to line up your paint cans in a particular way and get so frustrated when they don't cooperate. Your attention to detail and tenacity is impressive for such a little guy...but you often drive yourself crazy because it's so hard to get them just right.

A little bit of Princeton in Linden

Nate, you were fascinated by the huge stuffed tigers in the Princeton University book store. Mom & Dad decided to get one for you even though they were expensive. As luck would have it, the parrticular one you wanted was mismarked and we got it for a big discount...what a little bargain hunter you are!
