Guitar Hero

Rowen loves this guitar at Grammy and Papa's house. It is usually the first thing he goes for as soon as we walk in the door (besides his Grammy and Papa of course!). This past weekend he was extra spoiled during a visit- he got to play the guitar naked!

Tim, Devri, Cooper, and Quinn said...: He's just like his daddy. I don't know how many times I walked in on that exact thing when we lived together - a full grown version of course. I'm glad to see that Eric is finally realizing his dream of starting a Naked Partridge Family.; November 18, 2008 at 3:26 PM

Rowenisms

Chatter bug...

December 2011:
I overheard Eric and Rowen talking one night while Eric was putting Rowen to bed.
Ro: When I get bigger I will already have a kid.
Eric: You will?
Ro: Yeah- baby brother.
Eric: Oh. Well baby brother will grow up too.
Ro: Oh. Well someday he will be 3.
Eric: When he is 3 how old will you be? You will be 7.
Ro: I will be bigger.

Rowen was drying himself off after a shower.
me: You are such a big boy- growing up way too fast for mama. Please stay little forever! (I am teasing him a bit)
Ro: I am growing up mom.
me: pretty soon you will be as big as daddy and someday you will have little kids of your own.
Ro: NO! I don't want kids.
me: why not?
Ro: because I would have to get married. I don't ever want to get married.
me: why not?
Ro: because I want to live here forever!

November 2011:
Rowen gets a few meanings mixed up...
The one that causes the most drama is the meanings of on accident and on purpose
Ro:"It was on purpose mommy!"
Me: "You mean it was an accident?"
Ro: while crying, "No! On purpose!"
Me: "I think you mean it was an accident."

this goes on and on :)

Rowen has been calling Paxton "Paxti". Cute but we are not sure if little brother is going to like it when he gets older :).

Rowen rubbed my tummy a few months after giving birth to Paxton and gasped, "Mommy is having another baby!".

May:
While eating lunch Rowen bit his tongue, something that happens often to Rowen! He yelled out in pain, very dramatically like he always does. Then he said in a very stern, grumpy voice, "When I am big and play basketball I am going to wear one of those mouth things so I don't bite my tongue!"
I called Eric at work to tell him about this incident because it was so funny to me and Eric said that recently while watching a basketball game together Eric had explained that one of the players had a mouth guard in and that it helped the player not bite his tongue.

January:
During dinner one evening with Grammy and Papa Rowen said, "I am going to count my family."
He started by putting all the fingers on one hand up and while pointing to each finger he said, "Mommy, Daddy, Grammy, Papa," and then with such surprise in his voice and face he pointed to his pinky finger and said, " and there is me!".

After daddy had given Ro a hug before his nap Rowen said, "He is my favorite guy in the whole wide world!"

After reading a book about ocean animals with me Rowen said, "Whales are strange creatures! They eat fish!"

December:
"I love you mommy. You are my favorite person."

"I like Daddy the best!" when getting into a bit of trouble with mommy :). Oh my! What are the teenage years going to be like?

November:
Rowen likes to make up new words all the time. He thinks this is hilarious. One of his favorite new words right now is pinetwine. Don't ask me how he came up with that one but it results in fits of giggles from Ro and mommy and daddy every time! In addition to making up words Rowen likes to change the pronunciation of words- he will mumble words or leave out one important sound or add another sound. We have also heard him try to use a slight British accent a time or two- I'm sure this is from watching way too much Thomas The Tank Engine!

Rowen was telling me about his day at Grandpa and Nana's. He was towards the end of his play by play description of the day...
Ro: Then I took a rest and mommy came to pick me up!
What?! (in a very dramatic voice). I confused my mind! It wasn't mommy it was Grammy!
