"Mom, I'm going to ride the range, okay?" Biscuit said to me this evening. "I'm going to yah my horse and ride the range."
It's funny to me that Biscuit turns a lot of words into verbs.
He yahs his horse to get it to go. And when he's he's telling us a story about a bear chasing a horse, he says the bear "roars" the horse instead of the bear roaring AT the horse.
In other cowboy news ... Biscuit's favorite thing to watch right now is a very tame Western that Jeff has on DVD. The DVD's box has sepia-toned scenes from the movie on it. So when Biscuit wants to watch it, he asks Jeff for the "brown cowboy movie."
The cowboys in the brown cowboy movie ride the range, and they often wave their hats around as they get their horses moving. So Biscuit does the same thing.
And since he got a stick horse from his Grandmama for his birthday, he gallops everywhere he goes, whether he's on his horse or not.
Anyway, I got some pictures of him as he yahs his horse.
Now THESE are cowboy boots! A friend of Biscuit's handed these down to him. He swaps several times a night between these boots, his brown cowboy boots and his fire boots. Spoiled? Nah!
