A few Ryanisms

I forgot the funniest thing overheard in our house last week. I can't believe I didn't include this, but it has to be noted.

We were having dinner with my mom on Friday night and were discussing middle and last names.

My mom asked Ryan if he remembers her last name. She tried to give him a hint by saying, "My name is Cindyyyyyyy..."

And Ryan said, "...rella?"

Yes. Her name is Cindy Rella. When the clock strikes midnight, her carriage will turn back into a pumpkin.

For some reason, Mike agreed to let Ryan climb the scaffolding in front of our house. With his toolbelt on. And take his plastic hammer to the stucco. While Mike mowed the lawn and didn't WATCH him on the ladders. (!!!!) Freaked. Me. Out. But, of course, I had to grab my camera.

Ryan's still in Pull Ups at night and we're trying to help him get up to pee so he can wake up with dry pants. Well, last night when I got him up before I went to bed, as we left his room, I said, "Close your eyes, it's going to be bright" because I had the hall light on. Once in the bathroom, he stood in front of the toilet with his hands folded. After a few seconds, I said, "Um, honey, what are you doing?" He said, "I thought you said, 'Close your eyes, I'm going to pray,' so I'm waiting for you to pray."

On our most recent Family Day Sunday, Ryan had been bugging us to go swimming while we were out to eat. We told him that we already went swimming and that maybe we could play a board game when we got home instead.

As I got into the van in the parking lot, I hit my knee REALLY hard and was obviously in a lot of pain. (What is it with pregnancy and clumsiness???)

Out of no where, Ryan stopped asking to go swimming and said, "I know! When we get home, we should play Candyland!"

I said, "That's a great idea, buddy. Thanks for giving up on the swimming idea."

He replied, "Yeah, well I thought that would make you happy. If you're happy, maybe your knee will feel better." Ah, the logic...I love this kid.
