Deep Thoughts

You know those if-then logic statements you learn in junior high algebra? Like, "If x and y are even, then x+y is even."?

Riley has recently mastered this kind of logical reasoning. Although a little (ok, a LOT) more rudimentary.

For example:

"If I want some milk, I want some milk."

"If I'm not tired, I'm not tired."

"If I'm done eating, I'm done eating."

And my personal favorite:

"If I want it, I want it."

All I have to say is, watch out Yogi Berra.

Sweet Dreams

I recently downloaded pics off my camera, and I came across this one taken back in March. Don't be surprised if it ends up being my 2010 favorite.

Doting Aunt

Awhile back, my nephew Tanner requested I mention him on my blog. I'm sure he assumes I've forgotten (as he well knows I tend to do).

When I was 18, Tanner was 4, and I spent a lot of time babysitting him, taking him to Chuck E. Cheese's, and dealing with his precocious ways.

Now he's 18. And as precocious as ever. But he just received his Eagle scout, is about to graduate high school, and is headed to college shortly thereafter. Can you tell I'm proud?

Meanwhile, I'm dealing with my own precocious almost-4-year-old. And it brings me great relief to know precocious children everywhere can turn out as well as Tanner.
