Funny Boys

Yesterday, Michael and Ryan were playing in the living room while I was getting dinner ready in the kitchen.  Michael yelled out to me "Mommy, can you watch him, I have to go upstairs."  Guess Michael felt I didn't have control of the situation. 

Today we did our second music class.  Both boys are still shy, Ryan more so than Michael.  Michael will participate, but Ryan wants to stay on my lap or have me hold him when we are supposed to be dancing.  The teacher always asks the kids to help put the instruments (shakers, sticks, etc.) away and Michael always helps.  Today I was stunned when Ryan put some away too.  I guess it was a shock that he understood and that he walked that far away from me.  Perhaps next week, he'll break out in song!

The End of Soccer

Several times today Michael stated: "I'm so excited, today is my last soccer game."  When asked why it was because it makes him so tired since he has to run so much.  He played a good game this last time.  He ran after the ball much more than before and seemed to kick the ball more.  He had to play a lot as not too many kids showed up.  He thinks maybe he'd enjoy golf more as there is not that much running. I guess we'll see what he says next year. 

Ryan has come the closet to saying a word at the soccer game as well.  He said "uh oh".  In the past he's only ever said the "uh" part when something happened.   Last night, he was adding the oh to it and it sounded like "uh oh", perhaps he'll say a real word before he hits 18 months!
