Fries

I forgot to share a little story, short but cute, from a few weeks ago.

So we had a little 24 hour bug going through and Gabe was home from work for a Thursday and Friday before our trip to SoCal.  He wasn't feeling well, but since the car was at home, I could run a couple errands and get some things done that we needed to do before out trip. But since Gabe really needed the rest I took Sydney with me so he could.

We were going to Costco to get a couple things and she was being really cranky for some odd reason. So I said, "Hey, want some fries?"  She looked at me in the car mirror and I said, "lets go get some fries before we go to Costco, because Mommy is hungry and I think you are too."

She stopped whining and this is what I hear from the back seat all the way to McDonald's from then on, in an almost whispered little voice; " fries .....fries .....fries ...... fries ..... ". And of course she can't really say fries with the "r" articulated yet so its was more like "fies". But it was sooo cute. I didn't want to laugh out loud and interrupt her so I had to keep my giggling to myself. It was so cute!

Anytime that we go down that street towards McDonald's now, she will at some point say "fies". She knows her way around town.... at least her way to get more fries.

They catch on quick! Bruce has been through the drive thru 3 times (ok, maybe more since Rhyan was addicted to Mc' D's in the womb) and he knows exactly what's at that place. He guzzles those fries down and yells for more. And whenever we pass the golden arch he signs more in the back seat. He doesn't say fries tho he just yells like a banshee ;)
