Too much UNO

You know you are playing too much of one game when your child starts incorporating the rules of the game into every day life.

Andrew was finished eating dinner tonight and was about to get up to leave the table. Jeff reminded him of his polite words with a, "What do you say, Andrew?"

Andrew responded quickly, "UNO!"...instead of his usual, "May I be excused."



And another funny Andrew moment from yesterday. He and Jeff went down to the park to "play tennis" (aka Andrew tries to hit a ball, misses, throws himself to the ground, screaming and crying, Jeff coaxes him up, repeat...repeat). I was at home getting Lily ready to go to "Pumpkinfest 2007!!!". I decided to put her hair in pigtails for the first time in a LONG time. Andrew came home hysterically crying due to a skinned knee (throwing yourself to the ground in frustration is dangerous). In the midst of his tears, as I cleaned him up, he kept glancing over at Lily and her new do, and finally choked out, "-sob- sob- Lily...-hic-...looks...-sob-...TERRIBLE...-cry cry-" Once he'd calmed down he informed me that she looked like an animal. Nice. A supportive big brother already.

HA! Always a critic huh?
Ryan tends to have very strong opinions on Rachel's clothes as well (I of course don't have to worry about her non-existent hair - heck I don't even know where her hairbrush is or she even has one...)
