You have to zoom in...

Daddy Kisses

Jayme thinks the Beast Man isn't sooooo bad afterall....

Funny Girl

At the Friday Play Group, I overheard this conversation between Rylee and her worker, Sandra while they were doing a role playing game.

Sandra: Oh Rylee the baby is crying, what do we do?
Rylee: She's hungry.
Sandra: What should we feed her? (no response) Should we get her a bottle?
Rylee: No, she wants a hotdog.
Oh great, now they think I feed the baby hotdogs!! And I hope Rylee doesn't say anything about the highchair, because it will come out like this: Jayme gets tied up! Next thing I know, the CAS will be at the door because it sounds like we tie up the baby and force-feed her hotdogs!! lol

After Play Group, Rylee was sitting at the kitchen counter eating her yogourt. I look over and here she has put her spoon down and is attempting to eat the yogourt with just her mouth. The conversation goes something like this:
Me: (after I give her the Mommy-stare) Use your spoon please!
Ry: (no response)
Me: Rylee, use your spoon please!!!
Ry: (looks up at me so innocently) Bears don't use spoons!
Me: (thinking to myself) Well, yah got me there!
Then she proceeds to tell me and show me how a bear eats - licking at the counter top.
Ry: This is how a turtle eats (shows me)
Ry: This is how a fox eats (shows me)
Ry: This is how a beaver eats (shows me)
Then she just picks up her spoon and continues on like nothing out of the ordinary has taken place.
You gotta love it!!!


Our bed-time routine goes something like this:
Rylee says night night to Daddy and Jayme. Hugs and kisses are exchanged then they leave the room. I tuck her in, we try all the toys on her bed and then it's rule time.
Me: Have a good sleep, and what are the rules.
Ry: Don't wander around
Me: Yup, and....
Ry: Stay in your bed.
Me: Yup, and....
Ry: Don't jump off your dresser
Me: (thinking holy cow, you jump off your dresser while I'm not in here?) Well, that sounds like a good rule!
Now when we do the night time rules, we start with the dresser one first. Hooboy!

So last night, she gets tucked in as usual and then I went to check on her when I was getting ready for sleep. I peek in (it's really quiet in there) and here she is fully clothed...I mean she had on leotards, 2 pairs of long underwear, a turtleneck, a t-shirt, 2 long-sleeved shirts and a dress. All the sheets are off her bed and she's just staring out the window. Then, she spots me and lets out a blood-curdling scream while she's flinging her clothes off! I'm trying not to laugh while I give her the low-down about not obeying the rules!!
Guess we'll have to be more specific tonight and add: no getting dressed!!

She is a funny girl!!!!

FOR LAO LAO

Rylee and Jayme's Lao Lao is a snowbird. Rylee knows that when the snow all melts, her Lao Lao comes home from Florida, usually laden with gifts! lol Well, we had a very confused little girl a couple of weeks ago when that warm spell ripped through here. The snow all melted but still no Lao Lao!! Poor kid!!! How's this little guilt trip working for you Mom? lol

So this one's for you:

Signing Time at Supper Time

Rylee and I have enjoyed the whole series of Signing Time videos over the past year or so. My favourite is Leah's Farm...quite a catchy little tune too! Right now, Ry's favourite video is from the Baby's Signing Time set...maybe because little piddle loves to watch it too. They watch it over and over and over.... Anyway, for the past couple of weeks, I've been signing a few words to J. She giggles like crazy when she signs and I guess it correctly.

Here's JAYME'S sign for ALL DONE:

It's easy...when my plate hits the floor, I'm ALL DONE!! Time for Mommy to get me out of this chair and signal the clean-up crew.

Still Laughing....

Jayme learned to blow a whistle today! She was soooo proud of herself and I was amazed! Then I took a closer look...uh yeah, she's not using her mouth! Remind me not to use "that" whistle, okay?! lol

LOVE ME TENDER...

Jayme got this sweet outfit from her Auntie Ellen at Christmas. I love it on her....but it always looks like she's about to do her Elvis impression!

They Make Me Laugh....

Rylee was playing with the "floam" one day last week during Jayme's nap. It's a big-girl activity that she gets to do only when J is napping because the stuff is dangerous to the under 3 crowd. For those of you who haven't encountered this space-age stuff, let me explain what it is. It's a sticky, teeny styrofoam balls, substance that kids can shape. It's rather ingenius and I'm 100% certain, perfectly harmless to children and the environment....uh, maybe not! But it is fun! Anyway, she's playing away at her craft table when she says to me..."Have to put the floam away....baby Jayme is awake...she will put it in her mouth". Then she says "Hannah's (her friend) baby sister will put it in her mouth too." I said "Hannah doesn't have a sister". 20 seconds go by and then Rylee comes out with, "Her baby sister must still be in China". lol That's my girl! All babies come from China via the airport! I love it!

We were out for our morning stroll yesterday when we came to the Township Shed. It was heavily....uh....decorated with graffiti. Rylee says to me "Someone is learning the ABC's". Waaay too funny!

A couple of weeks ago, I was prepping for supper while the girls played in the next room. I waltzed into their playroom to check on them and there were 3 baskets of toys up-ended and strewn from one end of the room to the other. I must have had the "Mommy glare" going because Rylee takes one look at my face, points to her sister and says "Jayme did it!" And so it begins....

Then there's Jayme doing her world famous spoon trick....

Like I said....they make me laugh!!!

JAYME'S WALKING...
