Waaammmme and HOPPY!

No, it is not pronounced wamie, it is lame with a w...wame. That is what I hear every morning from my 2 year old cousin Tyler. I guess it serves me right because I taught him to say it and now every time I see him he shows his love by saying 'hi Allison, WAME!!!'. I absolutely love it. Tyler is also learning his letters. One morning we were sitting at the table eating breakfast together and Tyler points to a Happy Birthday sign and says 'A'. His mum is teaching him the alphabet song and so I thought he was just trying to sing it to me. But then he kept pointing to the wall and saying 'P', 'P', and finally 'Y'. Tyler can now read the word HAPPY. He was so excited about it that he jumped around saying Happy for a good 15 minutes. Except when he says 'happy' it sounds like 'hoppy'. So cute though. Now he and I have a game where he will say happy in a high voice and I will growl happy. Oh...I also taught him to growl ferociously and pretty constantly...may his parents one day forgive me. :) So in honor of my dearest cousin here I some wame and hoppy moments for the week:
- I caught Tyler's poor little coughing cold of death....WAME!!!
- I haven't been in school this entire week because of the coughing cold of death...meaning I'm basically a lifetime behind on homework....WAME!!!
- I could give a million (WAME) bi-products of this cold like the bleeding throat and lungs I've developed but that is gross...and lame. But on to some good things:
- I have finally cleaned all of my clothes and unpacked from my move back from Nevada...thanks to the current inability to go to classes I've had some time on my hands...HOPPY!!!
- I am officially scuba certified!!!...HOPPY!!!
- I am sitting in this corner in my room that is probably the best place in the whole house right now. It has drapes that separate me from the world, relaxing lamps, candles and pillows and a window where I can see the mountains, Utah Lake some really great sunsets...very, very HOPPY!!!
- Also, I know the coughing cold of death is a bit overdone but I think that I'm on the mend. Yesterday was horrific and while I can't seem to stop coughing, at least I'm able to get out of bed for more than and hour at a time...HOPPY!!!
So there you go, some wame and hoppy moments for the week. Now if I can just get my rear in gear and get my grad school applications in and quit scaring myself out of it I can really be hoppy...and happy. :)
love/me.
