Hilarious stuff

Observed today...

Ryan...standing in front of the dresser...
very serious faced and all..
hands clasped together... eyes closed...praying...
going 'munu munu munu...munu'
for a whole minute
opens his eyes....
touches the Mother Mary statue on the dresser and says...
'Father....bless me'

Then... he picks up the fluorescent Velankani idol next to Mother Mary's idol...
and goes 'hey...who'z this guy?!'
puts it down...touches the idol...n repeats...
'Father....bless me'

My New Girl Friend

I now have one... in my girl!

I spent the last coupla days 'back to school' shopping with Rave.
What an awesome experience!

Rave is so clear ...about her choices.
She has great sense of style and on the buck for current styles.
She isn't brand focused nor is she into character stuff like iCarly / whatever.
And she could care less what her friends wear ... have.

Picking folders... She liked a purple jazzy one with shiny dots. She later found another one with art-decco styling and liked it more. When I pointed her to yet another design... she goes
'Mom stop confusing me. I like what I picked'

same for pants... shoes... back pack... many styles... many more colors... don't faze her ONE bit!

If something she picks is way over priced... and I explain to her why I can't buy it for her, she so gets it and doesn't sulk at all. :)

She picks ONE and her choice is made. NO second thoughts.
I SO LOVE THAT!
* I still have trouble... with choosing. and will stand for hours... trying to decide which color / style is better*

Whatz great for me is... I only have to point her to what we need and she is making the decisions for herself. I am so loving that! that she can choose wisely AND that I don't have to make the decision.

even with food...
what would you like to eat Rave? pizza... burger... hot dog?
She goes...'I had a burger yesterday... I'll go with the hot dog today. Don't forget the soda'

She goes n seats herself on a bar stool and waits patiently. Sips her soda... and just is so basically calm. She doesn't nag at all!

I love it! I now have a girl friend in my dotter...
and am gonna enjoy many many years of shopping with her :)

Ryan One Liners

at the beach... Ryan wants to feed his bacon cheeseburger to the sea gulls... rather than relish it himself.

do i have a choice... after he has kicked 'sand' on to the open 'which'?!

break it up in pieces and let him fling it.
his pudgy hands can't fling the light pieces far... and the greedy gulls are hesitant to come anywhere close to pissed off Mommy!

a couple venture close enuff... to grab a bite ..

Ryan goes.... 'That's my boy! you got it.... !'
----------------------------

Ryan comes up to me looking really worried...

Mommy... akka says .... whatz that word?....*wrinkling up his face... racking his brains* ... canceling my birthday.

rofl!

close our eyes

why do we?

when we...
pray...
kiss...
dream...

its so...
the stoofid brain can shut off ... from thinking
and we can feel... from our heart

to feel...
is so beautiful
