Summer flying by

Hello, Its been a while since posting. We have been sick. Ryan had a sinus infection and coughing for several weeks. We havent slept much. We rested all day on Saturday and it was so nice. Last night he did sleep through the night and it was great. I always wonder why Im still tired when I have gotten a full nights sleep.
Ryan had a great physical therapy session on tuesday. He is learning to be more confident and strengthen his leg to move from object to object with crawling or holding on. The therapist thought within the next couple of weeks he would obtain this goal. He crawls down the two steps to the garage and gets his bike out and walks it to the drive way. He's so old now. He's a big boy. He hasnt been eating all that well. Its hit and miss. But I think alot of us dont eat as well in summer when its so hot.
We are gearing up for the 4th of July. We are having a cookout. About 20 people so far. I got a slip and slide and Ryan has a small pool and our public pool is only a block away and its nice. Im sure it will be hot. I will have a house full spending the night and Ryan probably wont get a wink of sleep. Oh well, I want him to learn to enjoy the family/friend times. They dont happen often enough.
I took Ryan out of daycare for awhile. Oma and Opa have been watching him. He will go to a new daycare, Leaps and Bounds, on July 9th. Its 2 blocks from our house. I hope he likes it. I hope and pray.
He is really enjoying outside time and we will soon be visiting the local zoo. I have wanted to go for along time. He likes animals, especially dogs. He wants to pet them but doesnt want them to close. Its funny.
Well, hope everyone has a good rest of the summer and good 4th of July. Stay cool and will post again soon.

Tired

Oh, I wish Ryan would sleep. Im so tired. We had an uneventful stay at the hospital for his two day test. He was very loving and was patting me alot to give me comfort. The test conclusion was to increase his prevacid to help control acid. He has had a cough and cold like symptoms for 4 weeks now. Going to call the doctor today and I WANT A ANTIBIOTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My cousin Lisa had her baby on Tuesday, a boy but dont know the name yet. Ryan is imitating me alot nowadays. Its pretty funny. Other than that not much else going on. Hope you are all well, will write more later.

Love,
Becky

day 2 of crying

Ryan cried again today. He doesnt like the morning teacher. He has wanted to be on my hip alot lately. Must be a stage. Looking forward to the weekend as usual. Hoping to go swimming and have some fun. I want to relax. Well, busy at work so gotta go.

Well, Ryan officially cried when I left him at daycare today!!!! That sucks. They have changed some teachers and there is one that I dont think he likes. I went to give him to her one day and he wouldnt go. I will knock those teachers for a loop if they arent treating the kids correctly. I have already gotten a few fired and had major problems last summer. I hate daycare. If I could afford to pay for my own health insurance I would take the DCFS class and have a home based daycare and take on 3 or so kids. Jeez. Ryan is starting to feel better, he has been sick lately and the doctor put him on Zyrtec. It helps alittle. HOt this weekend and I think we are going to enjoy the local pool. Work has been very busy. Which isnt a bad thing. It makes the days go fast. Im so sick of not being able to put pictures on this any more. If I continue to not be able to I will change blogs or just send the pics..
Have a good Day

Good Mood/Bad attitude

Well, Ryan has found his attitude. He already needs an adjustment at different times throughout the day. He has been throwing water on the floor at bath time and food all over the floor. I actually smacked his hand for the first time on Sunday and he laughed. I didnt smack hard that was probably the problem but Im sure it might get to that. I decided to get a mat and make a time out corner. Oh, he's going to be a nightmare.
Last night though he was in a great mood. He was from a nap and had dinner and we played and he was giggling like crazy. Then Oma, Opa, Grandma Nancy and Gary came over and played with Ryan. He was all laughs. He didnt go to bed until 945pm and slept until I woke him at 6am. Boy I wish it would have been a Saturday so we could have slept in longer. Oh well!!!! Well its only Tuesday. The days seem so long at work lately. Im kinda in the "I dont want to work mode." Ill have to get over that, fast. We dont have anything planned for the weekend. Its suppose to be hot. YUCK!! I think I might take Ryan to the pool. We havent been yet.
We have been practicing walking alot recently. He is pretty stiff legged but the physical therapist said he would for awhile. I am concerned because I hope he walks soon. He currently has know delay and I would like to keep it that way. I dont want to have to increase any therapy and such. He has come so far. Whats really good is that he hasnt been going to sleep with a pacifier. Yippee. Alot of times he throws it across the room or car. I dont retrieve them for him any more. He throws it, tooo bad!!!!
Well hope everyone is well and enjoying the summer. Looking forward to July 4th. Having a cook out. All are welcomed. Just let me know if your coming so that I can plan for food. Bought a slip n slide for the kids and they can go to the pool. Im still working on the pictures and will hopefully send some soon.

Love to all
Becky and Ryan

Still no pics!!!!

Sorry, still cant get pics. I will probably just email some. Ryan got a buzz cut over the weekend. I took the shears to his head. Its a little short but it does look cute. He looks like a marine. I thought it would be much cooler this summer. Ryan has a cold right now. He has been up a lot at night. Yuck!!!!!!!!!!!!! Im exhausted!!! Its been a long week and I am looking forward to the weekend even though we have alot of stuff to do.
We had 6 month evaluations at Easter Seals on Tuesday and Ryan is officially not behind any more. Yippeeee!!! He has done so well. Thanks God that early intervention is available or he would be really behind. He isnt walking by himself but walk behind things and is getting faster and can get into things a little easier now. He has had quite the attitude the last few days. He is throwing tantrums and doesnt want to give up his tooth brush. Other than that all is going well. I wish he were still a baby. It was so easy. Toddler age I dont think is going to be my best parenting area. Oh Well!!!! He is saying Thank you and yes. Im sure NO is in the near future since he seems to hear it alot.
Well, have a good weekend.
Love
Becky and Ryan
