all things RYAN : 3 1/2 years

Well, he's the same sweet, loving, lovable kid he's always been.  It's constantly amazing to watch him learn at such a rapid rate. 


~ He plays so well with his brothers.  Seriously, what would I do with him all day if he didn't have live in playmates?  Of course, there is plenty of tears and 'he took mine' nonsense that occurs but its well worth it.  Speaking of his brothers, they simply love Ryan.  For example, when Ryan gets home from school his brothers come running for hugs.
 

~ He still love preschool.  His best buddy, Nate, moved away and he talked about it for weeks.  It was so sad. 

~ He still adores the kids in the neighborhood.  They sometimes play for hours. 

~ I asked Ryan if he wanted to feel his baby sister kick and apparently he doesn't want to be kicked!  He wouldn't touch my belly for weeks.  I kept insisting she didn't kick and overtime he was game for 'feeling' her move.  Or 'bumping out' as he called it. 

Speaking of the baby, he asks a lot about her.  He asks if she can hear him, if she likes when he kisses her, and, my favorite, how is she going to get out?  He actually seems quite excited.  In fact, we've been removing a 'chain length' as a count down to baby and he counts the days til he gets to see her in the hospital.


~ He got a scooter for his 3rd birthday and he took to it instantly.  He's now doing tricks.  I'm pretty sure his sole purpose it to give me an early heart attack.  Why else would you put your foot on the handlebar?


Seriously, this kid is AMAZING.  And, of course, he's still one of the 3 most loved boys in all the world!
