Funny Boy Bryce

My friend Maren commented on my last post about how Bryce has a thing for my hair, and it got me thinking about some of his very funny little habits, and I thought I'd share. The first thing he wants every morning when he wakes up is a "Bubba", which is warmed up milk in a sippy cup (without a stopper). I don't mean sort of luke warm, I mean practically steaming. He gets 3 bubba's a day, and we have to limit them or that's all he'd have. For bubba #1 he gets a special treat - he can play with my hair while he drinks it. It's weird, I know, but oh well. Here is one of his bubba cups. Now, before you think I'm a terrible parent who's too cheap to buy my son a new cup - let me tell you, I did get a new one for him and he refused to drink from it. Apparently he likes the big hole so he can slurp it down quicker.

Another funny thing about Bryce are his imaginary friends, James and Beanna. Here's a picture of him with them. James is a train from the Thomas set. He's 6, his birthday is June 26 and he does very naughty things and he's super fast and they have a great time together. Beanna is 4, her birthday is Sept. 4 and she gets sick a lot, and needs help doing a lot of things. We're always waiting for her to go through doors and to catch up with us. She's smaller than Bryce and James, and I have no idea where she came from. The three of them play pretty much every day. They don't live with us though - they go home and have moms and dads of their own.

Here are Oscar and Megan. They are bath toys that Bryce can't bathe with out. They've been with us since we moved here to Omaha.

This is Bryce's Hot Wheels toy. He got this when he was 2 and at the time we only had these few cars. We now have probably 40 hot wheels cars, but he thinks these are the ones that go with this toy, so we don't change them out or switch their positions. He's very meticulous about his toys and takes great care of them. We lost a cherry to Hi Ho Cherry-O and he wanted to throw the entire game out. He's a funny one.
And, for good measure, he's very creative. There's a Curious George episode where George builds a monkey web, so in honor of it, Bryce built a Bryce web.
