Christian Donald Nydegger

Christian was tagged by his cousin Will so here it goes.
Christian Donald Nydegger was born August 22, 2003.  His middle name is after his Great-Grandpa A. Donald Nydegger, his Grandpa Rick Don his Daddy Kurt Donald Nydegger.  It was intended to be Scott after my dad but last minute I felt like it was supposed to be Donald.  It seems fitting now as he has his daddy's looks, personality, energy...He has a great bond with his Daddy.  He was a total blondie so forever it looked like he was bald. He was born with beautiful long eyelashes. In fact, the nurse helping with his delivery said "look at those lashes" when only his head was out.  Great visual, Sorry!  Anyhow, he is a total babe and such a sweet boy too.  Despite growing up with a big sister he is all boy, though he knows how to play a good game of Barbies, Polly Pockets, etc...  He actually doesn't really play with toys.  He loves ALL things active.  Sword fighting, shooting nerf guns, soccer, baseball, anything involving a ball really.  He has grown up with a bump, scratch, scar, bruise of some sort on his face usually because of his neverending tricks and "Skills" as he likes to call them being demonstrated.  He's never had stitches or any broken bones, much to the suprise of his parents.  

Christian also loves to work.  He loves to help out and especially loves if he can surprise you with things like making his bed or getting himself ready for the day.  He loves to work with anyone working outside, especially his Grandma Nydegger. I think he claims to be the reason her yard always looks so great!  Christian loves his cousins and playing with them but outside of them has a very hard time in social situations.  He is terribly shy and afraid of new things like going to his church class or playing on his soccer team or going to preschool-I actually couldn't talk him into preschool so we opted to have Miss Angie take charge.  She's really great!!! :)  He's only allowed to call me Miss Angie when we are at "school".  He loves to learn and catches on pretty quickly to most things and its a good thing because he does not like making mistakes or not being the BEST at everything.  If anyone has advice on how to deal with that one I could use some help.  For a long time he just wouldn't try things if he didn't think he would be the best at it.   He has a terrible time being repremanded he takes it very personally like its an attack on his character.  So you really so have to be sensitive when disciplining him.

Anyhow, Christian is a great brother, most of the time, he is a massive tease which puts me over the edge at times.  Its just not fun unless one of the girls is crying.  :)  Thats how he deals with boredom is teasing.  So if I'm entertaining him or playing  with him all is well.  Leave him to his own devices and we usually end up with someone yelling!  Usually me!  I know thats hard to believe that I would yell, but occasionally it does happen.  He actually loves playing with his sisters and is very helpful with Faith.  He is very sensitive and loves me "infinity infinities",  thats ALOT, just in case you were wondering.  He is sure to tell people he loves them and loves to do things for his sisters.  He's a great snuggler and I can't imagine our home without him. I love him infinity infinities too!!!    

After rereading that I don't think you would maybe get how much I love this little guy.  Its been a rough two days and I think that was coming out in my post. Not that I'm not allowed to have bad days, I just don't want people to remember Christian as the mean little teaser! :)  He is a joy and tonight in his prayers he prayed that he and Nikki would stop fighting and that mom wouldn't yell at them.  I was so embarrassed.  :(  I guess he's noticed I've been on edge too!!!  Christian actually says the sweetest prayers; he's just very thoughtful and I love that about him.  And I also going to essentially tag Nikki myself so you can all learn about all of my cuties.
