We work with what we've got

I haven't posted in a while because I've been sorta burned out on picture taking and blogging. But I thought I'd post Macie's latest accomplishment--she's grown some hair. I can finally put it up in a little teeny tiny water spout pony tail (without it falling out). She gets compliments galore from friends and strangers. I've never thought that she looks like a boy but this extra hair definitely helps her look a little more girly. Her resolution for 2009 is to grow even more and to not yank out the bows I put in.

Ryan's latest accomplishment is learning the "words" to Feliz Navidad. This morning on the way to church he sang, "Police on my dod, police on my dod, police on my dod, puedo anyo and policeee dod". We're thinking he may have the gift of tongues.

Meghan said...: hehe In our family we sing it:

"Fleas have no dad, oh fleas have no dad. Fleas have no dad, only a mama that's all they have"

Oh how I wish Reese's hair would grow enough for a little whalespout pigtail!; December 29, 2008 at 4:09 PM

Marlies said...: I love that Ryan has the gift of tongues. Kent's uncle sings it Marlies Navidad whenever he sees me. That one makes me laugh as well. I find it funny that no one has noticed that Macie is sitting in the cart that is meant to be pushed. Very funny.; December 30, 2008 at 4:03 PM

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.
