A grandmother is a little bit parent, a little bit teacher, and a little bit best friend.

Sorry its been so long

I need to add something to your blog. I guess lately I've just wanted to add things to my own blog to share with everyone. Here's a recent funny Tyler comment for you though:
 
After being in time-put for not coming to the dinner table:

Tyler said "You made me sad, Mom."

His child therapist father then pipes in "Did Mom make you sad or did you choose to be sad Tyler?"

Giggling now "My shoes aren't sad Dad."

A therapeutic concept a little advanced for a three year old to grasp.

When my own parenting comes back to me

After taking a toy away from Tyler that he had just taken from Bryce "Can I tell you something? You said 'We don't take toys away from people.'"

Walking into the room while Tyler is watching The Lion King. "This movie isn't for you, Mom. Its too scary for you. Its only for me."

My personal favorite during FHE last week: We were talking about Samuel the Lamanite and explaining that he was a prophet like President Monson and he was trying to teach people how they can be happy just like President Monson. Then Tyler says "Yeah Mom needs to listen to the prophet so she can be happy and not get mad at me." (Ouch..)

The Curiosity of a Three year old

"Can we talk to Jesus on Skype?"

"Whats inhale?"

"What are bones?"

"But dogs eat bones?"

"Does Bryce have bones?"

"Do we have bones in our bum?"

"Does Bryce have bones in his bum?"

Tyler's Slang

"Casin' Up" - meaning to pack a suitcase for a trip. Example: I'm just casin up for St. George, Mom.

"Lawning" - meaning the act of mowing the lawn. Example: I'm just lawning Bryce's room right now.

1st Cake

Although it wasn't Bryce's birthday he just looked really cute eating this tiny piece of cake we gave him. He's really moving along with eating most finger foods, although his hand eye coordination isn't good enough to feed himself yet.

Welcome Baby Anya!

Your newest grandchild needs a post. Although I know you've been with her 24/7 lately. I'll have to talk to Sarah about how she can post on here once she has some time to.
