This is how baby superheroes probably wear their bibs.

Everything is very, very funny when you are Ryanne.
Every day brings new reasons to be happy.

Stuff

I urge you to watch this video, and then click on the link to "Ten Little and Big Things You Can Do." Although, like me, you may disagree with some of the propaganda (I fully resent the not-so-subtle anti-military and anti-Bush sentiment, and despise the promotion of the idea that Al Gore winning the Nobel Prize for his laughable piece of unscientific fiction was anything other than politics and the biggest effing joke of 2007) you may find that much of this short video, unlike "An Inconvenient Truth" is, inconveniently, true. Filter out what you don't like but take away what you can from it.

Bellyflop! Well, maybe next time...

For those of you thinking that she must be our daughter, due to the leftover food all over her face, and the presence of baby crack, don't feel bad. I was thinking it too.

Why God Made Moms

I put some of my favorites in blue.
______________________
Answers given by 2nd grade school children to the following questions:

Why did God make mothers?
1. She's the only one who knows where the scotch tape is.
2. Mostly to clean the house.
3. To help us out of there when we were getting born.

How did God make mothers?
1. He used dirt, just like for the rest of us.
2. Magic plus super powers and a lot of stirring.
3. God made my Mom just the same like he made me. He just used bigger parts.

What ingredients are mothers made of ?
1. God makes mothers out of clouds and angel hair and everything nice in the world and one dab of mean.
2. They had to get their start from men's bones. Then they mostly use string, I think.

Why did God give you your mother and not some other mom?
1. We're related.
2. God knew she likes me a lot more than other people's moms like me.

What kind of little girl was your mom?
1. My Mom has always been my mom and none of that other stuff.
2. I don't know because I wasn't there, but my guess would be pretty bossy.
3. They say she used to be nice.

What did mom need to know about dad before she married him?
1. His last name.
2. She had to know his background. Like is he a crook? Does he get drunk on beer?
3. Does he make at least $800 a year? Did he say NO to drugs and YES to chores?

Why did your mom marry your dad?
1. My dad makes the best spaghetti in the world. And my Mom eats a lot.
2. She got too old to do anything else with him.
3. My grandma says that Mom didn't have her thinking cap on.

Who's the boss at your house?
1. Mom doesn't want to be boss, but she has to because dad's such a goof ball.
2. Mom. You can tell by room inspection. She sees the stuff under the bed.
3. I guess Mom is, but only because she has a lot more to do than dad.

What's the difference between moms & dads?
1. Moms work at work and work at home and dads just go to work at work.
2. Moms know how to talk to teachers without scaring them.
3. Dads are taller & stronger, but moms have all the real power 'cause that's who you got to ask if you want to sleep over at your friend's.
4. Moms have magic, they make you feel better without medicine.

What does your mom do in her spare time?
1. Mothers don't do spare time.
2. To hear her tell it, she pays bills all day long.

What would it take to make your mom perfect?
1. On the inside she's already perfect. Outside, I think some kind of plastic surgery.
2. Diet. You know, her hair. I'd diet, maybe blue.

If you could change one thing about your mom, what would it be?
1. She has this weird thing about me keeping my room clean. I'd get rid of that.
2. I'd make my mom smarter. Then she would know it was my sister who did it and not me.
3. I would like for her to get rid of those invisible eyes on the back of her head.

I don't think she actually got anything to drink but it was fun to watch.

I finally learned to sit

I saw cousin Malena doing it at Thanksgiving, and it looked like so much fun I thought I would give it a try.
My mom got me these awesome polka dot flashdance inspired leg warmers. They were supposed to be for Christmas but mom just couldn't wait.

What is this cold white stuff???
