Isabelle and Juliette's House!

Yesterday Isabelle watched Rylan while I worked. He went potty in Juliette's potty that sits on top of the real potty! I am so proud. He also got to go to story time about the letter X at the library. Isabelle told me that Juliette and Rylan share so well. If they ever have an issue she will intervene and ask who isn't sharing and either Juliette or Rylan will pipe up and admit it and then share with the other person! At the end of the day they laid down right next to eachother on the couch to watch some sesame street. Isabelle tells me that Juliette actually spooned Rylan! Haha this is so funny because Isabelle and I have plans of them getting married someday ;) But it is a little early!

Thanksgiving!

Rylan had his first Thanksgiving away from me AND his first 4 days away from me ever. I guess it was more like 3 days but it felt like 4! He went to Quilcene for Thanksgiving with Grandma and Grandpa Ford, Daddy at Grandma and Grandpa Ford's place. Sounds like he had alot of fun. We had some snow here and there was more in Quilcene so I was relieved when I heard they made it there ok! When Rylan was here he loved the inch of snow we had. He didn't want to come inside from it until his hands turned into ice cubes and started hurting! Apparently there was too much snow for him in Quilcene. He didn't like it! I guess he said it was yucky and didn't want to go on the sled!

I guess on the ferry ride over, he was looking at the big map on the wall with Daddy pointing out all the letters! Some teenage girls came over and were so impressed with him asking how old he was and saying he is SO smart then they asked if they could take a picture with "the smart kid" hehe that's my boy!

He loved the clock that bongs every hour. I was told he would stop everything whenever he heard it and would run over to it and say "bom, bom, bom..." along with it! I think I will try to find something like that for him for Christmas! It might help him with learning to count and tell time!

Matt said that he wouldn't eat Thanksgiving dinner. He had to force a taste of fruit salad in his mouth for him to try it and of course he loved pumpkin pie. But he wouldn't even eat any turkey when they called it chicken, (he loves chicken!)

When he got home he was so cute gripping onto his new little bus and his Thomas the Train. When he said bye to G&G Ford he kissed his toys in his hands instead of his hands to blow them kisses goodbye! I wish I had a video of that, it was SO CUTE!

I swear in just 3 days he changed so much! He is even imitating sentences MORE and he looked like he grew into looking even MORE like a little man!

I have been bad at recording all the millions of cutie-pie things Rylan has been doing every second and I feel awful so this time I am going to really try and keep it up from now on!

He has been talking so much! Really putting sentences together and repeating so many words! I think my favorites right now are: "thomasdatwain" aka Thomas the Train and "cozy".

He tries to sing a long and dance to music in the car and sometimes he will even make a percussion noise to go with the beat - so cute. Yesterday he surprised me and sang the words to twinkle twinkle little star with me!

He went #1 in the potty for the first time a couple weeks ago (nothing since) but still a good start!

Trick or Treating with our little elmo was so fun! It took a bit for him to figure out he needed to ring the doorbell when we got to a new door but he figured out how to grab candy and put it in his bucket right away. We had to stop him from taking too many every time! When people would come to the door he wouldn't say anything, he would just take his candy then stand and stare...a few times he did say bye though. His first taste of non healthy candy was junior mints.
