Ryan
Photo taken shortly before his 4th birthday. He posed with his cozy named Baby.
Things that come out of his mouth these days-
- What the heck?
- Oh my gosh!
- This is giving me a headache.
- Poop, pee, butt-head and all potty talk in general.
- You are a naughty mom. I hate you! (When the rules are tough or in his way.)
- I love you. I love my whole family. (When the rules are in his favor.)
- Awww, she [Molly] is so cute! She is such a big girl now.
- I am happy about this!
- Adjective-head or any name calling
- Guess what….
- I’ve gotta tell you something.
- Knock-Knock jokes
Words of wisdom at the park-
One sunny fall day while playing at the park we (Ry and I) taught Molly how to climb the chain ladder.
As she scaled the swaying equipment she froze one rung from the top. She wasn’t budging and she looked way down (four feet) at Ryan.
With their gazes locked Ryan said, “Go for it Molly! Just believe in your DREAMS!”
Conversation walking home from the park-
Me: Look Ry, litter.
Ry: What is litter?
Me: Garbage that other people threw on the ground. Let’s pick it up and throw it away at home.
Ry: Touch it? (candy wrapper) Yuck! Why?
Me: We do what we can to clean up our Earth.
Ry: [picking up wrapper] So, what you are saying is that we are the real winners here.
Me: Sure, Ry, we’re the winners.
