Does it get any cuter?

Grammar Lesson

Today, I was trying to teach Ryan the proper times to use the word "he" and "him." He wasn't understanding that "Look at he" is not proper grammar. So, I gave him some examples and then told him, "If I were going to give you something, I would say, 'I am going to give this to him.'" Ryan looked at me and said, "And then, I would say thank you."

Send in the big guns!

This morning, I got up with Nicholas at 6 and Jamie slept in. However, we have a wedding to attend this afternoon and we really need to get up and moving. So, around 7:15, Nicholas and I went in to wake Jamie up. Cute baby smiles and kisses just weren't getting the job done.

So, 15 minutes later, I send in the artillery: Ryan. He marches in there and announces to Jamie that, "Mommy says it's time for you to get up." Oh, he doesn't leave it at that. He climbs right up on the bed and starts talking. And keeps talking (like 3 year olds can do!) until Jamie is out of bed! I should have known from the start that Ryan was the right kid for the job!

Just Growing...

The other day, Ryan and I were driving down the road (Nicholas was there too, but he doesn't talk yet). Ryan was talking about when he gets big and how he is going to be a grown up. I asked him what he wants to be when he grows up. I could tell he was thinking about it for awhile and then he says, "I don't know yet Mommy. Right now, I'm just growing and growing."
