Daddy and His Mohawk Boy

Daddy and Ry pose for some sweet pics together. The boy LOVES his daddy. Ry sits next to Daddy at dinner and is constantly hugging him or kissing his arm or placing his head on Daddy's arm. On workday mornings, after waking up, Ryan rushes down to the basement to say good morning to Daddy before having breakfast.

Ryan's vocabulary is exploding. He will often talk for three minutes straight without taking a breath. It makes Matt and me laugh, as it is hilarious to hear his thought process. Anyway, he is saying something very funny that I must record. Ryan pronounces the word "movies" as "boobies". Often, he says, "I need boobies" or "I want boobies". I'm laughing now just writing it.

Madeline is doing GREAT with homeschooling. We are learning word families right now and one of the first word families we learn is the "it" family. In this family, we have learned the words it, sit, and hit. Last week while Matt was painting us a chalkboard in the classroom and Madeline and I were doing school, Madeline started to come up with her own "it" words. Can you guess what "it" word she came up with that caused Matt and I to burst out laughing. We both tried to hold the laughter in, as she had no idea that she had just used an inappropriate word. As soon as Matt let out the tiniest snicker, I lost it and started laughing uncontrollably and so did Matt. Madeline asked me why I was laughing and I told her that Daddy's little snicker made Mommy laugh. It is such a joy to be a parent and walk through such innocence with your children.
