We got a quote from Rylan's primary teacher (thanks Whitney!!) of something he said during a class discussion on 'obedience'.
"My mom says to obey and my dad says to obey but my baby brother just throws things at me. His name is Asher. And when I obey, I get to play dad's iPod."

We were getting in the car and Ry asked "Can I sit here (in Asher's seat) because I love you?"

Rylan is always telling me "I don't like Asher because he throws things at me." Well today I caught him singing a song that went a little like this:
"I love Asher, deedeetz (a made up word). I love Asher, deedetz. Everybody now. I love Asher, deedeetz". I was one happy momma :)

We have some friends in the ward, the Jensens. Mindy is in my book group, one of their three sons, Cody, is Rylan's age (they were in our little neighborhood preschool together and they are in primary together), and Russ is a firefighter. For one preschool we went to Russ' fire station and the kids seriously loved it. Anyways, they have a firefighter symbol on their license plate and today we saw their car and Rylan pointed at it and said "That means his dad is a fire hydrant"! Ha ha ha! I'm still laughing about it!!

While driving by a yard sale Ry said "Look mom, they are having their own farmers market at their house". Cute :)

Rylan has been very lovey lately. He's always saying things like "I'll come with you mom 'cause I love you." Or just out of the blue he'll come up to me and say "I just love you." It's oh so sweet! Then there are times when I'm trying to get him in bed and he'll say "I want to sleep in your bed mom because I love you" or "I want you to stay here with me so I can be with you 'cause I love you" and it's still very sweet but it makes it harder for me to talk to him sternly to keep him in his own bed!
