04 December 2012, Tuesday

We go downstairs today, and each of my kids runs off and starts creating something from scratch all by themselves. As often happens, it was spontaneous creation.

Ryan ran off and created his own game, then invited me over to come play it with him. He had made little signs with the name of the game and an OPEN sign so I'd know it was ready to play. I got to throw a toy into the window, trying to get it through and then stuck behind the blinds.

While on the train ride at Legoland, I ask Ryan what are the plants with the white bottoms. Ryan says "rutabagas." I look it up, and he's right!

01 December 2012, Saturday

Mom heats us store-bought macaroni and cheese for the kids. It comes pre-made in a plastic tub. Ryan sees mom eating some out of the original container while the kids eat from their bowls. Ryan asks Mama why she's eating out of the store container, which he thinks is crazy. Ryan then observes "Mama, that's crazy. That's like drinking out of the toilet!"
