Myelle's Winter Hobbies

We've been busy the past month. Thanks to Dave and Ruth Kikkert, we've started sledding at Porter Fork in Millcreek Canyon. Myelle likes chasing Mommy or Daddy on the other sled best.

Sage loves the snow!

We are also spending more time downstairs in our climbing room. Myelle is a natural climber with excellent form already--even for a 20-month old. Must be in her blood! We can't wait to get her up Little Cottonwood this summer.

Myelle Observations & Statements

"Hey old man". Said to me when trying to get my attention.
Myelle: Mommy, I want my hair in a braid because Elizabeth will say "Your braid is beautiful!" when she sees it. (20 minutes later) Elizabeth: Oh, Myelle, your braid is so beautiful!
Mommy: Myelle, why did you get up so early this morning? Myelle: Because I wasn't tired anymore. Why did YOU get up so late?
"Jack said his first word!! He said 'ow'!"
"Hey Jack! It's better with teeth. Eating!"
Daddy: Myelle, will you please open the door so Sage can go outside? Myelle: No, Daddy. You can reach it. Daddy: (stunned silence) True. (Daddy opens the door and lets Sage out.)
"We ate lots of waffles today. It was a waffley day!"
"Don't talk to me. You're making it hard for me to sleep." Hope I didn't interupt her 3 minute nap in the car.
In response to hearing Mom saying something she didn't like: "Well, you can not say that or just go straight to your room."
Mommy: "We're going to watch church on TV. What do you think of that?" Myelle: "I think that's pretty weird!"
"Papa, you need to go down the slide right. If you don't follow the instructions we'll have to go home." Not sure where the instructions are.
"Papa, you need to pay attention." Said to Papa after he dribbled some water on himself while drinking.
"Watch this. You're going to love it"
"Oooooh, that's instresting!"
"That's not your job." Said to Papa while he was doing dishes.
"It's not a dokie! It's a donut!"
"Mommy, I'm so awesome."
"Hey, that one has big hair!" Refering to an older woman, sitting behind her at Olive Garden.
