Making me Laugh

Today Everest and I went for a walk to the grocery store. Everest was a complete spaz in the store. When we were walking home I told him he was a good boy outside and a bad boy in the store. After saying, "No way!" a few times, Everest turned around in his stroller and said, "Momma, Wa I Ni!" which means, "Momma, I love you." Kid is seriously learnning how to work the system already.

It was such a warm day today and by warm I mean 40 degrees. We threw on some warm clothes, kicked a soccer ball around outside and grilled out. Everest loved being outside and we did too. It would have been so much easier had this adoption taken place while it was warm out. It is just so great to be outdoors. I'm glad Everest seems to like it as much as we do. I cannot wait for spring. Of course it is supposed to get cold again by the middle of the week so I am glad we took advantage of it while the getting was good. As we were playing outside, Everest came over to me, threw his arms around my legs and said, "I loba you." Translation: "I love you." Pretty cool. I love you too kid. He just giggled and giggled being outside. Ryan would kick the ball up on top of the garage roof and Everest thought it was the coolest thing ever. I wonder what it will feel like in a few year's time when we are not longer Everest's favorite playthings. When we turn completely uncool. When friends take first place and parents are just means of transportation to and from soccer practice.

Another fun little story. Today we were sitting on the couch and Everest said, "Momma, Bobba, Everest...Family."

One more thing and I'll be done. We have these foam letters that stick to the bathroom wall when they are wet. In an effort to get Everest to learn his letters we've been using these a lot in then bathtub. I went into the bathroom tonight and Ryan sticks a foam letter on Everest's back and turns to me and says, "It's way more fun if you put it right in the middle because he just struggles to reach the thing." I don't know why but it cracked me up. So Everest struggles to reach this foam letter, looks at it, says what letter it is and Ryan will yell, "Slap it on the wall!" The bathroom gets soaked needless to say.

Spiderman has now taken top honors over Ultraman. That's too bad....
