So this weekend I got to play mommy to my oldest nephew Ryan. I love it. I love him! He is so smart and soooooo funny. We watched The Swan Princess (What if Odette doesn't go for the merger? Urge her!) Ryan loves the frog because he has an french accent. We also watched Spongebob's Christmas. What's better then Christmas songs in May? While watching the movies-Ryan decided to grace me with his artistic abilities....(and actually he is quite good). Notice in the picture of me-the two rather large black dots are representing my freckles. Why only two? Well let's be realistic....if he were to draw all my freckles "it would break the black marker". Also, for the record "mommy has pretty freckles because they're brown and you have ugly freckles cause their red." So go figure. He also made a portrait of himself. I think he looks handsome. We took a walk to the park where Ryan ignored me and played "who can scream the loudest" with some random little girl. Sadly, Ryan's screeches far surpassed the decibels of the little girl. Opera singer maybe? Who knew? Auntie Karly. We took the long way home so we could talk longer. Here are some things I learned on that walk:
1. Footballs look like squished basketballs
2. Jesus told a little girl to get up-and she did
3. Tonio will be at Tracee's tomorrow
4. Ryan wants a cell phone
5. Buzz Lightyear is better then Toy Story
6. Bugs make good pets when your mom wont get you a dog.
Frankly, my brain was on overload. Who'd of thought?
My favorite part of the day though? Hmmmmmm...that would have to be bath time when I was trying to wash his hair and he accused me of "trying to kill him" because soap got into his eyes. Also, he was trying to jump out of the bathtub as I'm trying to spray the soap out of his face. I ended up just as wet as he was.
But at the end of the day, when I'm kissing his face all over and he's pushing me away his hardest, there's nothing sweeter then when I say "Do you know how much I love you?" to which he replies "To the moon and back!"
That's right, kid. Always.....
Now if I can only get my other babies here with me....
