Did you ever hear the old youth group campfire song “I don’t want to be a goat nope.?? I don’t want to be a goat nope.?? Cuz a goat has no hope nope.?? I don’t want to be a goat.”?? My boys love me to sing this silly song to them.?? (And it does have some spiritual signifigance as the verses progress we just never get that far LOL).
This week I sang that song literally.?? For all of you animal lovers tempted to feel sorry for these goats, I don’t think even one was actually ever caught.
Grandma pointed out the funniest thing about these pictures that mama missed.?? I was showing them to her yesterday and she said “Looks to me like Tanner was roping himself”.?? Sure enough :)?? How did I miss that??? The following picture is zoomed in from the one above.?? Did he fall after I shot this picture off and didn’t notice??? How could he have avoided it??? Wish I had the “post” shot:)?? Too funny.

Ty’s Favorite Phrases This Week
“Mommy get me some spider gotch” = He wants butterscotch chips 🙂
“Don’t pause it!?? I want to sing the menu” = He doesn’t want me to play Mr. The Incredible, he just wants to watch the DVD menu.?? He will watch it for as long as 20 minutes sometimes.?? A bit of his sensory processing disorder showing up??? I have no explanation for this attraction short of that.
“Daddy can we go to Valley Looney?” = Our favorite Mexican Restaurant is Valle Luna 🙂
“Hey DaddyO” = He??say’s he learned that off Leap Frog’s Letter Factory but I haven’t confirmed.
The “Amanda Toe”
Grandma has been telling me that she thought Ty’s shoes were too small.?? She said that she thought they were actually changing his toes because a couple of his toes didn’t look right – they were being squished too much in his shoes.?? Sounds bad doesn’t it??? She said this awhile ago and I guess I figured that I would have noticed if I was deforming my child’s feet and I never thought to check.?? Those shoes were bought in November so it probably IS time for a shoe change but I couldn’t imagine they were actually reshaping his feet and he hasn’t complained.?? Yesterday she brought it up again and so we checked.?? Too funny – she was referring to what we call the “Amanda Toe”.?? When Ty was in the NICU we noticed that his second toe on both feet were crooked – bent sideways a bit.?? Turns out, so is Amanda’s!?? Open adoption really is a beautiful thing LOL – we may have rushed him off to an orthopedic specialist thinking we had ruined his toes with tight shoes has we not??already been aware of that little known tidbit.?? Not that your toes are??”ruined” Ty and Amanda – only unique 🙂

glad to know someone else has goat roping pictures on their site so when someone complains about animal abuse I can tell them my boys aren’t the only ones!
There is something about that Intro Incredibles music! My 3 yr old will cry if I press play. He says he wants to hear the song. My 20 month old doesn’t get it. He’ll cry if I don’t press play. He wants to see the movie. We have to compromise. So, I don’t know if this involves Ty’s sensory processing or not. Jacob would listen to it all day. I’ve wondered…could I get a CD with just that music on it? He would love it. Oh! FYI–on Disney.com they have all kinds of Incredibles stuff for 4.99. We loaded up for bdays.
Funny you should say that Jana – my friend Kristi told me that her 3 year old Beau does the SAME thing with the Incredibles movie! Is their some kind of subliminal messaging going on here? What’s up? LOL
LOL Mine both love that “music” although they both get up and jump around pretending to be “mr incredible”,, you know jump, kick, punch “KAPOW” LOL,, and unfortunately sometimes at each other. Thats when it gets shut off!
