Things Rhys Said: 2.5 years old

This will be a new instalment on the Blog... "Things Rhys Said"

Amanda: Rhys, you are eating so much lunch! Good eating! Good Boy! Mommy is very proud of you!

(a few minutes later)

Rhys: (As River, our dog, is trying to sniff his plate) No Riber! Sit down Riber! (puts his hand out in front of himself like a stop sign).

River sits.

Rhys: Good girl, Riber. I am very powd of you. (continues eating)

Warren: Rhys...stand back. You're too close to the TV. It will hurt your eyes...

Rhys: No, Daddy! Don't hurt my eyes!

Warren: No, No...the TV will hurt your eyes.

Rhys: No Daddy! Don't hurt my body!

Warren: No..no, No. Daddy will never hurt you...it's...the...TV....(sighs, and really, really hopes Rhys never repeats that to anyone).

Rhys: I want blue eyes.

Warren: (Heart breaks as he realizes everyone has been 'swooning' over Kyle's blue eyes lately) Why? Rhys has beautiful, dark, brown eyes.

(a few days later, after we've made a conscious effort to compliment Rhys' eyes)...

Rhys: I don't want blue eyes. I big brown eyes.

Warren: Yes, brown eyes.

Rhys: Nice and dark. Mommy same!
