Ry's Quotes

(January 7, 2011)
Okay, so this isn't Ry being cute or funny, but more so a funny conversation I overheard while he was playing with friends.
Ry: "If this says ding dong then that means a bad guy is coming...ding dong, ding dong, ding dong."
Cody: "Wait, I don't have a ding dong."
Kade: "I don't have a ding donger, either."

We've been working hard trying to get Ry to use big boy toothpaste. This baby toothpaste wasn't quite doing the job well enough. Plus, we thought we'd enforce morning brushing as well. So every day he gets a chance to get 4 stickers for his special teeth brushing calendar. I took him to the store at the beginning of the month and he picked out some sparkly happy face stickers. Today, after putting some stickers on his chart he said "I like happy face stickers. They make me do this..." where he gave me a big happy smile. I have to say, I like Rylan's happy face because it makes me do this...(big happy smile of my own)!

I walked Ry to preschool and some of the sidewalks are still snowy. Even the sidewalks that are shoveled are too narrow for the stroller. So Ry and Asher were bundled up in the stroller and Rylan asks "If I got ran over by a car would I die?" I try to explain that that would depend on how fast the car was going or where on his body the car hit him...But I repeatedly told him that no matter what, it could be very dangerous so it's important to always be careful. Ry: "So why are you pushing us in the road? You should be on the sidewalk if you want to be safe." Busted!

Ry: "Mom, why does it have to be boy, boy, boy? Why can't we just have a girl?"

Kev: "I got Prison Break" (on Apple TV)
Ry: "What's that?"
Me: "It's a tv show about a guy who breaks out of prison. Do you know what prison is?"
Ry: "No"
Me: "It's another word for 'jail'."
Ry: After thinking for a few moments "Did he dig a hole and go through the pipes and come out of jail through the ground?"
Me and Kev: Completely shocked and nervous for Ry's future. After asking some questions we found out that something similar happened on Word World (a cartoon). Maybe that show will be avoided if that's what they are teaching kids!

Rylan's really into having races. Whether it's getting dressed or eating a meal, the race is on in his mind. We were eating breakfast and just as I sat down to eat mine, Rylan said "Look mom--I'm gonna beat you!" and held up his nearly gone breakfast burrito. Two bites later and sure enough, he was done before me.
Kev chimed in: "It's not a race, Rylan. It's about the journey."
Ry: "No, it's a race."

Me: "Think of all the pretty things you've ever seen and that's what you'll see in Heaven."
