"I Yike It!"

It's funny to think I was once worried that Lucie and Ryan weren't talking enough. Now, we can't get them to stop talking. Not that we would want them to, especially with all the hilarious and interesting (and sometimes bossy) things that come out of their mouths.

Here's the latest on the Lucie and Ryan soundtrack:

"Mommy, it's nawh workin!" (Ryan) A favorite phrase for everything from used-up glue sticks to faulty straws. Ryan expects things to always be in working order. If they're not, he's the first to head to the toolbox.

"I yike it!" or "I don yike it!" (Ryan and Lucie) They both say this all the time. Ryan tried to claim that he didn't like a strawberry milkshake after drinking 3/4 of it in mere seconds. We don't believe that one, buddy.

"Mommy, I wanna see you outside in one minute!" and "Ryan, we don't throw food, we eat it!" (Lucie) Sometimes I feel like I'm hearing my own voice coming out of my two year old daughter. (Hopefully I don't sound that demanding?) Lucie definitely keeps us all in line.

"Meow! Meow! I being a baby kitty cat!" (Lucie, usually followed by Ryan's echo) You never know when a little girl or boy will turn into a baby kitty cat in our home, but one thing's for sure - they always come in pairs.

These photos are from two visits from Grandma and Grandpa and Gigi and Papa. Trips to the zoo and Legoland were both followed by a resounding, "I yike it!" Lucie and Ryan had a blast.
