Merriness and Scariness

Ryan and Macie got a visit from Santa at our church's Christmas Party. I was so excited for pictures since my awesome photog friend, Meghan MacAskill was taking the pictures. She did a great job but check out Santa. I was even afraid of him:). I think he put his finger in an electric socket right after his sleigh landed. Poor Macie was terrified but Ryan loved him. Santa made up for his scariness by being really jolly with the kids.

Ryan says the funniest things

Ryan: "Can I use the computer?"

Me: Nope, I'm using it right now.

Ryan: "But I NEEEEED to. I'm just going to check my email."

Ryan is putting an animal puzzle together. The next piece to put in is the parrot.

Ryan: "Where does the carrot bird go?"

After going potty for a LONG time Ryan runs out to us and says, "Mommy I just went number TEN!"

Ryan calls his Aunt Renae "Aunt Bernae"

Ryan calls his uncles Dan and Keith "Apple Dan and Apple Keith"

Ryan calls Target "the Popcorn Store"-this is because I used to always get him popcorn when I shopped there so he'd be occupied for a long time and I could browse.

Ryan calls Costco "the Birthday Cake Store"-this is because one time I bought a cheesecake there for Bunko.

Ryans calls Lowes "the Christmas Store". We have no idea why. We never bought anything Christmasy there. He also calls his small yellow blocks "Christmas". Not Christmas blocks. Just Christmas.

Whenever we see an airplane Ryan says, "It's going to the Oport!"

Since Ryan was about a year old he said the word, "Doodah" and soon after he started saying "Meeeem". We don't know where these came from but he still says them.

The other day I threw away one of Ryan's drawings (I know, bad mom:). Later he was throwing something away and saw the drawing in the trash and said, "Mommy, that is NOT VERY NICE!" and he took it out.

When Ryan was about 2 1/2 he started saying, "I have a IDEA!" and we'd say, "What's your idea?" and he'd say, "Oh, number 2." His idea was number 2 for a long time until all of a sudden it changed to number 4.
