I love that spring has finally arrived. We have been living outside all day everyday. When we are not outside you can see my kids standing on the window ledges with their faces pressed against the glass longing to be outside. Rylynn has been loving the dandelions which she calls pretty flowers and every time she picks one she insists that it go in her hair. Speaking of Rylynn I have been meaning to record some funny Rylynn stories for a long time. So here they are.
Rylynn got a pair of reindeer pajamas from Nana and Papa for Christmas. She loves these jammies and somewhere along the way decided that since she was wearing deer jammies she wanted to be called baby deer. She then started calling me mommy deer. I have to admit I did love that one, because it sounds like mommy dear. She still calls me this most of the time, but lately she has gotten creative and her newest obsession is baby and mommy butterfly. She has a little friend butterfly that has been in our yard for the last several weeks and she loves to run and chase after it. I swear it loves her too because every time we go out in the back yard it comes out to visit her. We even have to say goodnight to baby butterfly out her window at night. Anyway, she has tried out different animals depending on the book she is reading or the show she is into. For instance she tried out mommy dog, mommy cow, and mommy horse, all of which I immediately vetoed.
A side story which is also funny was that Rylynn was coming out of nursery on sunday because Garrett was in the hallway with Carter and she was mooing and saying Daddy I am baby cow. So Garrett was trying to catch up with her and called after her "hey baby cow". Unfortunately a friend of mine was also in the hallway and she thought Garrett was talking to her and she thought he said "hey baby cakes!" Awkward!
Anyway, I just love this little stage she is in. She makes sure whatever we are doing or wherever we are to point out a mommy blank, a daddy blank, a baby blank, and a Bububs (Carter) blank. I have to share this example even though it is kind of strange, but the other day after she had gone to the bathroom she called me in to point out the mommy, daddy, Rylynn, and Carter poops in the toliet!! At least with Rylynn we all feel included:)

Cute sories! You didn't like being called "Mommy Cow" huh? Rylynn can come and pick the dandelions in my yard anytime she wants!!!
Rachel, those stories are hilarious! My favorite is the awkward moment. I love awkward moments between married people.
Lily calls me "honey" and she is the mommy.
What a fun age! She is such a cutie!! I love the "baby cakes" story, I'm sure that made for an awkward moment :)
Very cute stories! I'm glad the weather is so nice for you to enjoy it! It's so nice to have summer around!:)
I am SO LOVING my doctor and the midwives, and YES, I will definitely let you know when the time comes! I'll even save the business cards so I can keep the phone # for you. It's been such a positive experience for me...we'll see how the delivery goes! I'm nervous!
Loved the stories Rach, she is so cute, and getting so big! So I thought of you on Saturday - hope you had a great b-day!
Hey I forgot is your birthday the same as Lily's? It seems like I remember something like that...well Happy Birthday!!!
I love when she calls you "Mommy Deer/Dear" even if she means it like a reindeer, it sounds like she is being so sweet! And I still laugh when I remember hearing her in the bathroom at church "mooing" while she was in there. So funny!
I am so glad you recorded that! I have gotten such a kick out it and LOVE to hear her call you "mommy deer." In fact, I have to tell you... The other night, Emma called ME "mommy dear" trying to copy Rylynn. She is so dang cute!
Your kids are so darling! I bet Rylynn will be coming up with creative ways to talk about things for years to come. Our most awkward moment came when we were at church and Lauren saw a guy from Africa for the first time. (She was Rylynn's age.) She yelled, "Mom, how did that guy turn BROWN!?"
