Ryan to me: All done Pee-pees!
Then looking down at his, well, you know, in a scolding tone he said: I said all done!

R is for Ryan **updated**
Ryan, Lily and I were sitting on the couch. Lily and I were playing peek-a-boo and Ryan was sitting next to us scribbling on his mini-magnadoodle. He generally scribbles something and tells me it's a picture or it says something. Imagine my surprise when he says, "Look mommy!" and I see a plain as day R right there on the board. He took it upon himself to do it and he did. We weren't even talking about letters at the time. He was so proud of himself. I think he really liked it that I said it was so good we should save it to show to daddy. That means it's really special. He was embarrassed, but I made him take a picture with it later in the day. He kept hiding his face, so the picture here is when he popped out from behind the doodle board. I think it turned out well for a picture taken on the fly.
**UPDATED to add:
This is what he showed me today.
I guess he was inspired by the praise he got for his "R". Okay it needs a little work, but he did it completely on his own with no coaching. I'd say that is pretty good for a 3 1/2 year old!
Jump, Lily, Jump
Last night Lily started trying to jump in the air. It was so cute to watch her crouching down building up all her strength to spring up and *almost* making her little body leave the floor. She was having so much fun trying over and over. She looked so proud of herself. I remember Ryan doing this when he was a baby too. So cute. I didn't have a video camera, but I did happen to have my regular camera right there, so I put together a little series of pictures to try to capture the different stages of the "jump".
It starts out something like the first picture, she spreads her feet apart. She braces herself. Then she leans forward like in the second picture. Next she squats almost all the way down to the floor, even closer than the third picture shows. Then she springs up in one quick motion and you get picture number four:-)
