Rubyisms

This kid is growing.

And changing.

SO. FAST.

And sometimes, it’s just so hard to keep up. She’s been blowing our minds lately with some of the things she says and does. She’s so funny. And so smart. Here are some of the latest Rubyisms:

“Mom, look. I put booger on you sweater.”

“Mom, you play Sesame Street wif me. It’s good for you.”

“Hi. I Dr. Ruby Kim. I listen to the heart now?”

Dinnertime, mid-tantrum:
Ed: Ruby, you can sit here and finish your dinner with us, or you can go to your room.
Ruby: THOSE ARE NOT GOOD CHOICES, DAD!!!!!!

After explaining to her that Ed is Korean, and I am Caucasian (and she is both):

“Daddy is Kahweeean. Mommy is Cockcajun.”

Singing sweetly to herself:

“A,B,C,D,E,F,G. Q,R,S,T,U,V … W,KISS,Y,N,Z!
Now I know my A-B-C, next time won’t you sing wif me?”

Holding her baby doll, and talking to her other giant stuffed toy:

“Look, Muno. This is my baby sister.”

FAVORITES AS OF LATE
Music. Can’t get enough lately. The request of, “Mom, can I have a song?” is multiple times daily, while we eat breakfast or lunch or when we’re in the car. And of course, no matter what volume it’s at, she asks “How about loud?” Her favorite bands are Django Django, Sonny and the Sunsets, Jack White and Cat Power. Fortunately for us, she still rejects most pop music.
TV. She is slowing down on the Yo Gabba Gabba, but is becoming more and more obsessed with PBS Kids’ Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood.
Foods. She has been digging green beans lately (to our delight), and she likes Beef with Broccoli. Well, she makes us take the meat out. “No meat! I don’t want meat!” She is also a huge fan of “strawbubbies”, “bluebubbies” and pears. And, so far, she’s never met a frozen yogurt she didn’t like. Look out if you plan on sharing with her, she’ll bogart the entire thing!
Play: She loves to pretend to talk on the phone. She loves playing “Dr. Ruby”. She lays her blankets out on the floor, lays her babies down, and takes their temperatures, listens to their hearts and gives them “medicine”. She also adores Winnie the Pooh and Piglet (pronounced, “Piguhlet” in Ruby speak). She kinda loves anything Disney as a matter of fact. She especially loves Lightening McQueen and Mater from the movie Cars, and she loves Mickey, Donald, Minnie, Pluto and Goofy. She can name just about any character, thanks to all the Disney stuff at Grandma and Papaw’s :)
Activities: She loves going to Miss Suzi’s music class and she likes her swim teacher, Harrison.

I’m sure I’ll think of more, but I just don’t wanna forget this stuff. Everything is so new to her, and so exciting. I just can’t believe how much she’s changing …
