Learning New Vocabulary

The boys language is growing so fast it surprises us, including their father.  Gramma enjoys assisting the boys in expanding their vocabulary.  Their mother asked them, "what's my name?" to which the boys answer, "Jeni."  Andrew even named his Lovee, Jeni.  So, this week, I taught them their father's name is Ryan Joseph.  When Daddy came to pick them up, I asked Nathan, "What's your father's name?"  He replied, "Ryan" and then he looked at me as if we shared a secrest and added, "Ryan JOSEPH."  I'm the only person that still uses his middle name, so he was surprised to hear Nathan use it. 

It has become a ritual to list the colors of cars they ride in. Daddy was really surprised when the boys responded that Daddy's car is blue, Mama's car is black, Grampa's car is white and Gramma's car is CHAMPAGNE GOLD. Gramma strikes again!
The boys sometimes surprise Gramma when they use the words they know. The boys wanted to go to the basement to play. I told them their diapers had to be changed first. Andrew responded, "Nathan's turn first." This is the first time he hasn't said, "Andrew's turn first."

Thank goodness Gramma has an extra hat or two.  We forgot ours.

Andrew loves rice.  When Grampa told him there was no more, he resorted to eating what he had stashed away.  These bibs hold a half a waffle, a cup of milk or enough leftovers for snack time.
