Top Ten

Ryan Layne's Top Ten "Munch-isms"
1. She refers to herself as Ry Pie, in the third person!
2.  She requests to go to the doctor any time she is constipated and her tummy hurts.
3.  She says "Get the lead out buddy" if you aren't moving quick enough.  Something Grandpa taught her, and we hope that she doesn't say it to Ms. Nelda when she is passing out snacks at school.
4. Her daddy and her imitate the turtles on Nemo with their handshake.  They say "fin (slap hands), noggin' (bump heads), dude!"
5. She often asks to wear her nipples when she doesn't want to get dressed and just wants to run around in her panties.
6. She loves "the Mick"- Mick Jagger. She can actually identify all of the Rolling Stones members by name. Thanks, Pa!
7.  She likes to sleep with all of her Toy Story and Princess figurines.  Sometimes there is barely enough room for her on the edge of the bed.  She still somehow hasn't ever fallen out of bed!
8.  Whenever she anticipates something scary, like a scary scene in Toy Story or a scary part of a book, she will cover her ears right before the part or during the page before.
9. She loves to take a shower at the end of her bath.  Needless to say, our water bill has increased.
10. Riding the horse at Chuck-E-Cheese or the mall is still her favorite reward for pushing the mud out.  When do we stop rewarding this?

Emma Reese's Top Ten "Pea-isms"
1. She has mastered saying "ready, set, go!" It is so cute!
2.  She answers "yeah" in the sweetest little way.  It sounds just like Rain Man!
3.  If there is any spare clothing laying around she prefers to wear it around her neck like a scarf.
4.  She loves to munch on sidewalk chalk and crayons.
5. She only likes to sit in regular chairs or booster chairs, she loves the seat belts! No more high chairs for her.
6.  Her favorite book is Brown Bear Brown Bear What Do You See, and she can sound out the pattern of the words. She is brilliant!
7.  She likes to throw everything out of her crib at bedtime, except Zeebee, of course. If he goes overboard it requires a quick response from mom (and she usually laughs at me when I give him back- I am her puppet!)
8.  She is extremely allergic to mosquito bites. Unfortunately, they love her like they love her mom.
9.  The only fruit she will eat is bananas.
10. One of her favorite activities is to throw her hands in the air and shout "hooray" and wait for every person in the room to do the same thing in response.  And repeat.
