Ryker: "How dare you eat your beans!"

That's what I often tell the boys jokingly. I tell them beans help them grow big and strong and I want them to stay little forever.

Me: "My friend Amber's here."

Ryker: "She's coming to play with you?"

Me: "Yes."

Ryker: "These are not delicious."

(He was eating chocolate covered pomegranate seeds.)

Garren: "I dont need help on nuffing... I'm rocking it!"

(Extracting Ryker's birthday toys from their packaging.)

Garren: "This feels very precious."

(He was holding an egg and helping me make pancakes.)

Garth told Ryker how much he enjoyed Ryker being little. Then he went on to tell him that one day Ryker would likely be bigger than him.

Ryker replied, "I'll stop eating."

Ryker was yelling for Garren out the back door.

Me: "Ryker, what do you need Garren for?"

Ryker: "Nothing. I just want to call him like a dog."

Garren: "Mom, I prayed God would make me an eagle."

Me: "Awe, I would miss you if were an eagle, off flying around."

Garren: "I won't be gone. I'll be flying around in the house."

Garren: "Mom, want me to tell you how gross I am?"

Tucking Ryker into bed I asked if I could give him a kiss.

Ryker: "No."

Me: (pout face) "Oh."

Ryker: "Okay. Just one kiss."

Me: "Are you guys playing leapfrog?"

Garren: "No. We're playing kangaroos. We even kick ourselves in the boy parts."

Hmmmm...
