LETTERS? WHAT LETTERS?

River and I were sitting at the table painting in his coloring book when I noticed him looking at my hand. I asked him what he was doing. River said, "What do those letters spell Nana?" I said, "What letters?"

 River said, "Those letters" as he pointed to the veins that trailed from my wrist to the knuckles on the back of my hand. I just told him at night after he went to sleep they spelled I love you. Gotta love 'em.

IT"S A GOOD THING"

As River sat down for lunch he looked up over his head at his new happy face balloon that seemed to follow him around the room. After taking a few bites of his sandwich, he looked at me and said " it's a good thing God isn't a balloon, he would only get as high as the ceiling."

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY TO YOUR BRAIN

In January River had asked if I was going to be at his house for Valentines day this year.  I told him I wasn't but I would be calling him and sending him a wish.So tonight I called him and told him to have a nice valentines day at school tomorrow passing out his valentines and that I will be sending him a wish...He said.."A wish? You mean like...I wish I had a Super Mario 2 Movie Wish?" I said no.  Like "I wish you a HAPPY VALENTINES DAY wish. He said.."Oh..that wish is just for your BRAIN"

I went to the Montgomery County Fair in August and as I exited the sheep barn I was asked if I would like to buy a raffle ticket. When I asked what it was for the girls told me it was to win a sheep or pig. I told the girl I would just love a sheep or pig but I lived in a condo and that certainly was not big enough. Then to my dismay she replied "oh no, we cut it up for you" : (

"STRAWBERRY" STEAK

Last Friday I overheard a conversation between River and his dad. He was adamant on the fact that his classmate had eaten "strawberry" steak that day at school for lunch. (Fall 2012)

One L'l Two L'l Three L'l Belly Buttons

River walked in with his holding his shirt up to his neck head down and looking quite puzzled. I asked him what was wrong. Pointing to his two nipples and one belly button, he asked how come all of his belly buttons didn't match. ( Fall 2012)

"SONIC BEANS"

 River and I were walking next to along side a soy bean field which use to be filled with corn, He asked what happened to the corn and what was planted there. That is when I decided to give him a hands on lesson about the soy bean. We walked up to a plant and he picked one off and opened up the pod and I told him about all the things that are made from soy and how it all starts from the bean. He told me how awesome he thought that was and we went on our way. Later that day when his dad arrived home from work he ran to the door and said "Nana! Tell him about the SONIC BEANS!" (Fall 2012)
