One More Ronism And A Trip

Thursday, March 29th, 2007

I forgot one in the earlier post:

“ticka ticka ticka” : “tickle” said when either a) being tickled b) wanting to be tickled c) trying to tickle someone, including himself or d) wanting to pet the cats

Jane has been wanting to go to the museum ever since I took her to the zoo.  When we were leaving the zoo, she was disappointed that we hadn’t seen any dinosaurs.  I explained that the dinosaurs weren’t at the zoo, you had to go to the museum.  Of course, she wanted to go right then, but we were too tired to go.  So she was very excited about a trip to the museum to meet a friend from church.  They went and had a great time.  They saw dinosaur statues and even found dinosaur bones in a huge sandbox. When I got home, I asked where she went today.  She replied with much enthusiasm:

“The zooeum!”

Ronisms

Wednesday, March 21st, 2007

Ron is dying to have his own section of the blog devoted to what he has to say. We’re pretty sure it is cute and clever too, we’re just not real sure what it is he’s trying to communicate.

What we’ve figured out so far:

The Photogenic BoyNatural Born Poser

  • “eeeeeee” : “Cheese” as in, “Take my picture, I’m cute and I pose well”
  • “booka” : “Book”
  • “uuuce” : “Juice” this and “Book” were new yesterday.
  • “boo boo” or “peek boo” : “Peeka Boo” One of his current favorite games.
  • “uh oh” : “I dropped something, would you get it please?” although sometimes he will get it.
  • “ball” : Usually preceded by “My”. When not being possessive, he likes to throw or kick them.
  • “iwan doooowwwnnnn” : “Thank you for feeding me. I’m now done with my meal and would like to go play or do whatever Jane is doing.”
  • “hieeee” : “Hi”

The weather has been nice, and the kids and I have been enjoying being outside. They aren’t out for long before they start digging in the dirt, and I start taking pictures… (click for larger)

At a church fellowship tonight:

Tim [to Jane]: “Good bye princess.”

Jane [loudly and a bit of don't be silly tone]: “I’m not a princess… I’m a QUEEEEEEN!”

Later, at home, Jane became a philosopher:

Mom: “What are you doing Jane?”

Jane: “I do what I do”

More from Jane

“Jane, that’s a lot of stickers on your leg.”  Her leg is covered with stickers from Grammy.

“Yep, it is.  It happens… They help my pants not blow off.”

We also learned that she has an eel that she keeps in the lake.  She likes to jump in and swim with it. We learn lots of things we didn’t know when we talk to Jane.
