  • The chatty three-year-old

    Ryan on the mascots from Northwestern and Duke: I like Willy the Wildcat and the Blue Devil.  Where do they live? 
    About the Blue Devil's cape and pitchfork: Why does he carry that stick?  Does he need that thing on his back with the D on it to stay warm?   

    Ryan: I like cats.  They don't cost a lot of money. 
    Amy: Do you want a cat?
    Ryan: Yeah. 

    Ryan: I want to mix juice and milk. 
    Me: Ok.  I think that will taste gross and not many people do that but you can try it if you want.
    Ryan: Because then I will have two mustaches–one juice and one milk. 

    Ryan: There is a gas station.  They sell toys there. 

    Me: I am glad you like football and running.
    Ryan: But I like golf too. 
    Me: Maybe we should get you some clubs. 
    Ryan: And a ball!
    Me: Yes, a ball too. 
    Ryan: And let's get another club and another ball for a friend.  When Jacob gets big, he can play golf with me.

    Meanwhile, Jacob continues to pull himself up everywhere.   

    Ryan 33 lbs. 3 ft. 3 in.  50% weight.  75% in height. 

  • Christ the Lord the new boring king

    Ryan (playing with Little People Nativity set): "Jesus is the new boring [born] king . . . Mary drove a tractor and Joseph drove a car . . . even the monkey came to see Jesus."  

  • I’m ok with that

    Me: Ryan, I think I am going to move the couch over here. 
    Ryan (3 yrs old): I'm ok with that.
