Parenting

I never knew that parenting would consist of the following scenarios! 

Ryland in the bathroom brushing his teeth - "MAMA - come here, hurry, show you something".  He was flossing and found something good!  "Look, BIG meat - awesome!  See it."  Just what I wanted to see...thank you son!

Calling our bluffs..."Ry, do you want a shower or a bath tonight?"  Ryland "Hmmmm"...no answer for a long time.  "You choose or I will choose."  "OK, I get to pick - you get to have a shower outside with the hose!"  Dustin and I think we are being clever and that he will definitely decide bath or shower now!  HA!  Ryland's response - "YES!!!  Like a dog?  Cool!"  So Ry & Sadie got bathed outside in the backyard.  Parents 0 - Ryland 1...

Repeating what we say and using it back at us...Ry got into some kind of trouble, so I told him to go to his room.  He stomped off and said "You better check yourself, Mama - I'm mad!"

And my favorite thing that I never thought about...

Last night we ran over to CVS to get some cough syrup and as we were getting out of the car, Ryland said "WAIT!!!  Everybody big hug!"  Stone Family hug in the CVS parking lot...too cute!
