Brave

Grandma Kathy and Grandpa John were here with us for the week, and they took the kids swimming twice during their stay. Of course that was one of the highlights for the kids. Grandpa John told me that he would of been proud of Ryan. There were calculator buttons in the pool and the kids played with them and threw them into the deep end. Grandpa John was encouraging Ryan to dive down to get them and Ryan explained that he didn't want to because he might drown. Grandpa John reassured him that he was there and would never let that happen to him. So he took a deep breathe and went for it. He dove to the bottom of the pool in the deep end! 5 Feet! He believed in himself, and trusted Grandpa John's protection and  he learned to dive to the bottom of the pool! Brave little toaster!

"Awesomer"

Ryan has made up a new word, "Awesomer!" He bought a poster at the book Fair and we were deciding on where to hang it. I suggested on the closet door, and he said "Oh how about my room door...that would look "AWESOMER!" haha
It got vetoed by mom, since his room door is never really shut unless Jordan is taking a nap, and to put it on the side that he could see it while it is open would make it visible to everyone in the house when his door is shut and that's a no go in my book. He may think the poster is cool but it doesn't go with my decor and taste, haha

I won't do that!

Today we were watching a Church video..."the Tree of Life" and the people were holding onto the iron rod walking through the darkness trying to make it to the tree of Life (representing eternal life) and one of the people featured was a mom and 2 of her sons, one about 4 yrs and the other was 16. The 16 year old wasn't holding onto the rod and just walking next to it by himself and the mom kept encouraging him to keep a hold of the rod! He snidely replied, "MOM, I'm 16 years old! I can walk by myself, I don't need to hold onto something!"
And Ryan turned to me and said "Wow, when I'm 16, I'm not going to talk that way!"
I replied "Oh I hope your right, and.... can I quote you on that!" haha
