Toddler Talk Tuesday

A picture of Roy taken by Ryan on his camera

Roy has been talking a lot lately. More complaining and whining about his brother then ever.

” I want to play the game that we played on the computer yesterday” he requested.

“Ryan is not sharing with me.. he is very selfish!!” complains Roy.

” I NEVER get to eat it!!” ( I really feel he overuses this word)

[ I try to correct him.. it is not NEVER.. you just ate strawberry ice-cream yesterday. You HAVEN'T eaten it today.]

When he is in a good mood he will come to you and ask in his sweetest voice ” Can I have XXX please mummy?”

” Okay Mummy, I’ll do it” he says immediately when I ask him to do something.

The nicest words I hear from him ” I love you mummy!!”

Writer’s Workshop- The Perfect Summer

This week on Writer’s Workshop I will be writing on Prompt #5-

What five images paint a perfect picture of summer to you? Put those five images together in a piece of writing.

If there was a Perfect Summer day it would start with having waffles with maple syrup and fruits for breakfast.

After breakfast it would be great to have a morning stroll in a “storybook” garden. It would be nice to breathe in the various scents and enjoy the beauty of the garden. The kids would love playing ball in the park and riding their bikes.

After time in the park it would be nice to sit down to an ice-cold drink and some lunch/brunch .

After lunch it will be time to hit the malls for a bit of shopping. The kids would love a visit to their favourite toy store Toysrus and I wouldn’t mind picking up a few items for myself in the process.

The day would be perfect if while making our way back home we could be able to stop and watch the sunset.

What would your perfect summer day
look like?

A Letter from Ryan

This week as part of Mama Kat’s workshop I will be attempting prompt #1

Dear Mommy and/or Daddy…(write a letter to yourself from one of your children)

I haven’t really received a letter from Ryan as yet but if I did it should look like this.

Dear Mommy,

I know that it is a long time to my birthday but I really REALLY want to let you know what I want. I really want a bed as comfortable as yours. I want to sleep on a Simmon’s mattress instead of the mattress on my bed. I also do not want Roy to keep on climbing on my bed to sleep at night. He keeps on distrubing me at night and I cannot sleep properly. Why don’t you buy two Simmon mattresses? One for me and one for Roy so that he can sleep by himself on his own bed and I can sleep better on my own bed.

I also would like a telescope so that I can have a clearer look at the Moon. You know that I like astronomy so I need all the proper equipment to study the planets and the moon.

Mummy if you can get me all of these I would be very very happy.

Love,

Ryan.
