Ruby-isms

Ruby has had some pretty funny one liners recently. These might not be quite so funny to read, but I want to document the things that girl says.

1. My friend Sarah and her 1 year old son, Mateo, came over for a visit last weekend. Ruby was being both shy and not a good sharer and reverted herself back to being a bigger baby than the younger Mateo. I was a bit sad, since Sarah hears from me all the time about how adorable my Ruby is, and here she was pouting and crying. Then she had a golden moment. As she went to sit in my lap, she let out three loud farts. Her first sentence while Sarah and Mateo were there was, "Ooh, I pooped 3 poops!" Sarah and I couldn't contain ourselves it was so hilarious.

2. The other day while I was picking Ruby up at my mom's, my mom asked if I would take her trash can around to the back from the curb. I went outside to do that just as my sister came in to pick up Indio. Indio and Ruby were jumping around excited to see Anica, when I started to move the trash can outside. This stopped Ruby dead in her tracks and she lamented, "Ah man, what my momma doing?!" As if she was troubled that I would be embarrassing her!

3. My mom, sister and I went to get a Mother's Day treat of a mani/pedi. When I got home, Ruby was pretty obsessed with getting her nails painted red and purple like mine. The next morning as I was changing her diaper I flashed her my nails again, and she brought her hand up to examine her nails and said, "Still waiting for that red..." I laughed and said, "Oh, you are still waiting to get your nails painted red." She shot me a look, whispered "yesssss" and rolled her eyes. AH!

Best Friends

Ruby has taken to calling Indio, "My Best Friend Indio" (or Any-o is how she really pronounces his name). Indio seems to more or less share the sentiment and has been asking every day to come over to Ruby's house to play. On Tuesday, he launched a full on campaign that resulted in him and my sister Anica driving straight to our house after pick up from Kiki's to play for a while. It was super hot out, so the only thing to really do was play with the water hose. And we learned very very quickly, that the hose splitter that Joey had on hand was a crucial component to happy play time.

And then they realized that they had the power to spray each other.

Mothers Day 2013

I was personally down and out for this year's Mothers Day with a pretty bad head cold/allergies/sinus headache. Luckily, that meant I could nap all day long without any guilt, but unluckily that meant my Mothers Day was only about 8 hours long... But it was an enjoyable 8 hours!
