Maybe I should read the manual!

Ryan and his friends at daycare have learned a great deal about sharing this year as they have shared pink eye, gastroenteritis, flu,croup, strep throat, ear infections, and currently the hand-foot-mouth virus. This poor little guy is building up his immune system!

So far this year I have rescheduled his two year photos three times because he has been sick so I figured we would spend some time today practicing "CHEESE!" He actually did a great job and was patient with mommy, who has never taken the time to learn how to use the awesome camera she just had to have. Here are just a few of the pics.

Ole!

Some people have a lazy susan in their cabinets.....I have a lazy Ryan LOL!

He has two hideouts in the kitchen and I have to check it regularly because he leaves food, toys, and stolen items in them!

Probably need to work on lighting....

That's a wrap!

Move Over Jonas Brothers!

Bieber Dwieber......Jonas Smonas.....The Fry Guys are whats up!



Grant is such a big kid! He had the Sesame Street toys synced up for a jam session....

Ryan, of course, pursued the spotlight with his outstanding solo of "Itsy, Bitsy, Spider."

Yep, it is still the only song he knows.

These two crack me up!



Classic Wheels

Ryan has an obsession with three things.....doors, shoes, and anything with wheels! And while the toys with doors are limited, he has quite the collection of shoes and wheels. When the weather finally started warming up I couldn't wait to get him his first tricycle so we could hit the sidewalks. I spent about an hour in the store trying to decide if I should be the cool mom and get him the Cars tricycle that lights up and makes cool revving noises or if I should stick to the classic metal red tricycle. I finally decided he has enough plastic toys that make noises and have tons of buttons so I went classic!

Ryan was at daycare so I picked him up early and had his new wheels sitting on the porch. He noticed it right away when we pulled into the driveway and started clapping. He jumped out of the car and raced over to it and jumped on. The wind outside picked up and the clouds rolled in very quickly so I new that our time outside would have to take a rain check. He tried his best to use the petals but gave up and took the Flinstone route and used his feet. Grant spent a lot of time picking Ryan up off the ground when he would fall off the driveway onto the grass. This was quite funny for mom to watch.

Ryan insisted on bringing his newest love into the house and he played on it a little longer until mom picked a battle that she quickly lost. I obsessed over teaching him to use the pedals so he decided this isn't fun and jumped onto his battery operated four wheeler, smiled at me, pushed the little button on his four wheeler, and took off with a look that said, "I win." Ryan has learned very early in life to "work smart, not hard."

Once he realized mom backed off he jumped back on his Radio Flyer and propelled himself all over the house.
