RyRy's Reaction

So, when Rylee returned from her trip to Grandma's, we told her about the little incident at the playground with Devynn and the trashy little girls' spit (see previous entry titled "Disgusting!"). Rylee immediately asked "What color hair does she have?" and "What color shoes was she wearing?". I kind of fear for the little girl's safety...I think RyRy is going to hunt her down and make her pay! Uh Oh!

The next night, as I was telling someone about her reaction, RyRy informed Andrew that he "should have been protecting Devynn!" She was quite annoyed that Andrew had slacked off! I kind of fear for Andrew's safety now, too! ;)

Rylee is such a funny little girl. She has the face of an angel, but quite a temper. She is the first to hit her brother or sisters (thankfully she outgrew the biting/scratching/pinching phase!) but is also the most protective of them. The other morning while we were walking Andrew to school, Andrew and Rylee were walking up ahead of me. As they approached the corner, I told them to stop. They did, but apparently Rylee thought that Andrew was standing too close to the street (he wasn't). She started telling him to step back. Of course he wasn't listening to her, so she started trying to pull him back. Right about then, a car started coming down the street. When Rylee saw it, she immediately stepped between Andrew and the street, with her arms stretched out to her sides to block him from the car. She did it without any hesitation or thought of her own safety. It was so natural for her to be protective. I guess she thinks that she's the only one allowed to hurt her siblings! :)

She's going to make a great mommy someday (hopefully not for about 20 years, though!), and it makes me feel good to think that she's learned it by watching me and following in my footsteps! :)
