Choosing a name...

So, I've decided to start a blog again. I had one once before but after 2 posts I never got much further. I'd like to use this one to tell stories about my family, share crafts ideas (I've got some good ones coming up!), share recipes and who knows what else! I'm just looking to share my voice!

The reason I named the blog what I did is in part a funny story concerning my son. Riley is 21 months old now and is talking up a storm. Not only is he more verbal, he's more vocal in his opinions. I'm considering banning the words "No" and "Mine" in our house. Now, I know he's a normal toddler when it comes to those specific words and attitudes, but it doesn't make me any less embarrassed when I have to pick him up off the floor in a store as he's screaming "NNNNOOOOOO" at the top of his lungs (which happen to be very healthy). I'm always worried someone is going to think I'm actually kidnapping him and not just trying to leave a store in peace.

Yesterday we took Riley to an indoor bounce house so he could have a chance to rid himself of his toddler attitudiness (yes, I believe that's a real word). As we were leaving the place, we walk out and I say "Let's find Momma's car." Riley simply states "No, Riley's Car." as if there's no argument about it. I jokingly reply, "No silly, it's Momma's car." Again, he states "No, Riley's Car." Fine, no more arguing...

When we arrive home, we ask him where Daddy's car is. He promptly points to Daddy's car and states "Dada's car." He looks at my car and shouts "Riley's Car!!"

It looks like Riley thinks he's getting a car for his second birthday.
