Ruby Quotes

 

Here are a few of Ruby's latest one liners:

 

"Noah, I command you to stop screaming."

 

"Dad, thanks for turning my frown upside down, and making it into a smile."

 

As Ruby rides on her hobby horse: "Come on Noah, let's go horse around."

 

"Noah, I think I pretty much love you."

 

When Noah was crying at bedtime: "It's okay Noey, it's just night time."

 

As she climbs on a rock, "Look mom! I'm kind of like the star of the show."



It's Finally Happening

It's finally starting to cool down just a little around here & the kids have been loving getting to play outside again. The lingering bits of summer are rough when we're stir crazy & ready for a change of pace. So even if it's still in the 90s during the day, we'll take it! The kids are all about their scooters right now & Ruby rides like a mad woman on hers up & down our street while Noah trails behind. He wants to do everything he sees her doing & learns so much from her. We're also having a major baseball moment at our house. The kids love to play in the backyard with their bats & tee ball stands & hit "homeruns". Those two have gotten pretty good at it. Noah is obsessed with Mickey Mouse right now. He loves to sing the "Hotdog" song over & over & has this crazy ability to spot Mickey anywhere & everywhere we go. Ruby is loving preschool & is so excited to go. Whenever I pick her up she comes running her fastest to me & yells, "Mommy!!" & gives me a huge hug. It's basically one of the best parts of my day & I'm going to be really sad when she gets over it. Noah is becoming more & more of a 2 year old & is really loving the word "No!" lately. I have to make a conscious effort not to smile or laugh when he acts naughty. And I fake cry at least once a day because he gets this little smile on his face like he knows I'm joking, but he'll always come over & give me a kiss. He's kind of my dream boy. Life is awfully good with these two.
