silliness and cuteness

Today's spam subject: "Meet women from home!" Yeah, because heaven forbid you should actually, like, leave the house and interact with other human beings in person! ;)

Recent funny conversations with kids:

Isaac: Ruthie, say whoa!
Ruthie: Whoa!
Isaac: Ruthie, say Isaac.
Ruthie: *babbles*
Isaac: No Ruthie, say Isaac!
Ruthie: Bye-bye ghee!
Isaac: No, we're not going anywhere, Ruthie, say mama.
Ruthie: Bye-bye ghee!
Isaac: Ruthie, say waffle.
Ruthie: *babbles*
Me: Ruthie, say antidisestablishmentarianism.
Ruthie: Bye-bye!

In related news, while we were in Vermont Ruthie learned to say "ding," as in the noise that the elevator makes when it arrives at a floor. Also known as the noise that the toaster makes when it's done toasting. Whenever she hears such a noise, she runs toward its source, yelling "Ding!" It is too cute. :D

Which reminds me of another one from the other day. I was supervising Isaac's frozen waffle in the toaster, and Ruthie was standing on the floor below, fussing and reaching upward. So Isaac says, "No Ruthie, you have to be 33 before you can use the toaster." hee hee.

Isaac's going to miss out on a lot of tasty toast if he waits that long!

Very cute indeed!

Alex suddenly started saying "Bang!" to accompany throwing things & banging on them. I have no clue where he got that! We tried and tried to remember ever saying "Bang"...

He also does an amazing imitation of our cat Oreo, better than I could manage!
