I’m cheating. My friend Tawnie tagged me in this “6 things about you” game and instead of talking about the deep dark recesses of myself, I’ll divulge some info about my boys! (Trust me, it would probably be easier to tell about myself).
The rules:
A. The rules of the game are posted at the beginning.
B. Each player lists 6 facts/habits about themselves.
C. At the end of the post, the player then tags 6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog.
1. Ricky hates the scary parts of movies. It doesn’t even have to be really scary. He will charge out of the tv room and hide in the laundry room or in his bedroom until he thinks the scene is over. For example, when the monster/fish with the light on its head chases Nemo or when Monstro the Whale swallows Pinocchio.
2. Billy smiles whenever our cat Hunter licks his head (which seems to be an awful lot). It used to make him cry when he was just little, probably because it was so rough on his bald head, now he just smiles and looks around to find the cat.
3. Ricky memorizes things very quickly. Whether he will reguritate them when you want is a different story. He learned the signs at our sign language class really fast this summer and it only takes one, maybe two, times of reading a story before you can pause and he’ll fill in the missing word for you. When we read “Green Eggs and Ham” he can do all of Sam’s lines and he gets them almost perfect.
4. Billy is a very picky drinker. He only likes Mother’s Milk straight from the source and water, preferably in a sippy cup but he will take a few swigs from a bottle. Mother’s Milk in a cup or a bottle immediately gets the stiff lips, as do juice and formula. (any suggestions on this one would be appreciated).
5. One story is never enough for Ricky. Once you start, you’d better be prepared for a minimum of three. And if you try telling him that you will only read 3 stories, he’ll start upping the ante. “No, just 5 stories.”
6. Both boys adore their dad. I guess I’m just a regular fixture because they light up as soon as Kevin comes home and he had better not delay picking Billy up! But on this same note, both boys are sensitive to Kevin’s facial hair. Even 5 o’clock shadow makes their cheeks get red spots–these spots only last 30 minutes or so, but they get them every time.
So there are a few tidbits about my boys. I guess I’m supposed to tag others, but I stink at that, so if you read this and want to put something about you on your blog . . . I would love to read it!
