If it doesn't have a tail it's not a monkey.

Nick and I had the honor of hanging out with our nieces today while their parents both worked. I am amazed how much they grow and change even in the 1-2 weeks between our seeing them. Taryn continues to grow and do new things. She is a very active, one year old that walks, runs and babbles and of course, holds her own with her big sister. Micah is almost 3 1/2 years and with that has developed the habits and attitude of a 3-4 year old. This isn't always a bad thing and often leads to funny stories.

Today while Taryn napped Micah was watching a Bug's Life. She did get kind of scared with the big bad bugs, but Uncle Nick was there to protect her. When that was over she wanted to watch "Bob" (veggietales) so she looked though to see what she wanted to watch. Maybe singing Bob? She decided on Larryboy and the Yodle Napper. Micah was explaining to us that it was Larryboy. She liked watching Larryboy. Micah: "His name is Larryboy but sometimes I call him Rowl." Me & Nick: "Um, what?" Micah: "Sometimes I call him Rowl." Nick: "You call him what?" Micah: "Rowl, thats what I call him." It sounds like growl with out the G, not quite Raúl. It is just so funny to hear a 3 year old tell you so matter of factly that she calls him a different name. Its almost as if he was a life long friend of hers. Which, I guess in a way, he kind of is. He is among the first movies/shows she watched.
