Funny

So, we had a nice weekend. Friday night was the Cruise-in at church. I made a boxcar for him to sit in. The cars were all good. The movie didnt keep Ryan's attention but that is a typical thing. So we went home and slept very well. We rested all morning, took a 3 hour nap and headed back to church. He loves the place. Sunday my nephews played in a bball tourney in Glasford. They lost the first game and won the 2nd. It was fun and a long day. Ryan cried on the way home and then fell asleep. He really didnt get a nap. We got home and he just cried. Poor guy. Then he rested on the couch and ate, bath time and finally went to sleep. He had a good day at school on Monday. They had a shape hunt. He told me he found a circle. He likes circles, maybe thats all he knows. LOL. He is doing great on his letters and colors are coming along. He starts peewee gold lessons in May and then swimming lessons will start. Im really looking forward to spring/summer. We are going to have a great summer.

Ok, gotta go.

oh my

So, Ryan had his I hope to be last Physical Therapy evaluation at Easter Seals last night. He did pretty good. Some things were a little under. She thought he might come out fine on the testing and if not, it wouldnt be much of a delay. She did say that he needs a PT eval when he starts Pre-school which will be soon. He is babying the right foot he had surgery on. So I have to have him use both feet when going down stairs and have him step on that right foot. Its really weak and the calf muscles are weak. Then it all broke loose. He started throwing a fit, crying, not wanting to put his shoes on. Didnt want a sticker, then he did and finally we got to the car. I waited for a bit and asked him if he was better, he told me "NO". So, I left him alone. We went to grab dinner and I had to go to Menards and Walmart. We didnt get home until 730pm. I started to paint a boxcar for the cruise-in at church Friday night and ran out of paint. So we headed to bed. I was driving like a mad woman to get to Walmart this morning for paint and I did make it to work on time. So during my lunch I have to paint. Hopefully the girl that I work with will be able to get the tires and flames painted today and Ill take it home and finish up. Nothing like procrastination. Jeez. Oh, we need a break. So Thats it. Gotta go.

Snob

So last night I went to my friends salon for a haircut. Ryan did really well until he wiped his hands (banana bread hands) on this womans coat. OMGosh, the earth stopped. Well it stopped in this womans world. She was a complete snob and I wanted to knock her out. There were a few crumbs on her coat. She was standing there like the world was ending with her pinky finger in the air. I did ask Ryan to apologize but he said "NO". And I had to chuckle to myself because that lady sooooo deserved that answer. You would have thought she was walking the red carpet. SNOB. I did put Ryan in time out and told him it wasnt nice to wipe his hands on someone's coat. She looked at him when he got in trouble and had a look of satisfaction. OK, Most sane people wouldnt like that some kid wipes their hands on their coat but would say its ok and not freak out. The only reason I kept my mouth shut was because it was my friends salon and I would not do anything to ruin the reputation of her salon. Knowing that she was thinking the same thing I was. She was very dramatic. I bet she's an actress. Anyway, we left, went home and headed to bed. Im chuckling today at the whole seen but the woman was NUTS.

Update

Ryan just went potty.

wow

Sooo, lets see. Ryan is coming into the terrible 2's at almost 3. He has been a nightmare at times. Friday we had a blood drive at work and I donated. Went to PT, which I just sit and they do ultrasound to my feet. I had a major sugar drop. I asked for crackers, was sweating, sounded like a was slurring my speech and was having trouble thinking, tired and I thought I was going to vomit and hit the floor. The staff gave me something with sugar and I drank some water. My co-worker Sue came and got me. I did better during the day. I ate some soup and drank lots of water. Thats the worst it has ever gotten.
I rushed home since I was hosting our monthly Bunko. I made Sloppy Joe's and we had a nice time. I was glad everyone showed up. Pamela was able to make it and she really needed the break.
Ryan didnt get to bed late and I had a eye exam saturday morning. Lets just say that didnt go well. The exam never took place. He started having a fit as soon as we hit the door. I was ticked off. He went to Oma's. He screamed from the eye appt. to Oma's and we had a talk. We went to church saturday night and he was thrilled about that. I was one of 3 watching 14 kids. Im sooooo not made for that. I was exhausted. We came home and went to bed.
So we are eating lunch on Sunday and Ryan is going down for a nap soon. He is in his big boy underwear and hasnt went yet. No accidents either. Maggie is coming over with dinner later. That will be nice not to have to cook. She is having a boy in June and I found some infant saks that she wanted. She is registering today. That is sooo much fun but exhausting also. I hope everyone had a great Valentine's Day.

oh, Ryan will be starting Immunoglobulin soon to help his body fight infection. Lets hope it works and he does better, gets off antibiotic and I hope we dont have to go to St. Jude. I hope insurance will cover at home injections. He is othewise great, getting into everything, currently making a mess and pretend burping, he thinks that is hilarious.

Have a good week.
Love,
Becky

The sun is gone

Ok, Saturday, warm and sunny, the most beautiful day. We met Lorey, Kaden and Landon. The kids played and Ryan was a wet, muddy mess. I had to strip him down to his diaper before he got in the car. I put a blanket over him. I tossed those muddy clothes in the trunk. It was nice just sitting on the bench, chatting with Lorey and watching the kids play. We came home and Ryan napped. All the fresh air with make you sleep so good. Unfortunately, I didnt sleep. We went to church at 530pm and he was ready to get in his class. My child loves to go to church. Hope the is the case in 5-10 years. I volunteered again in the walkers room. We had a two new kids. They were both really sweet. Church went by so quick. We headed home and ended cuddling in the recliner and watch Herby; Fully loaded. Then to bed.

Sunday, and the sun is gone. It went away so quickly. Bummer. So we cleaned and Ryan is a great duster. He takes all his toys off the shelves, I spray, he wipes. He likes doing it, so I let him because I know that is soooo not going to last long. Im working on finishing laundry and we make a chocolate cake in a coffee mug. I got the recipe from a girl at work. It is fabulous. Its great. If anyone wants the recipe, let me know. I put strawberries on top, Ryan and I shared. He is napping right now and the plan is to get the play dough out and also the crayons, paints, etc.....
Then dinner and bath. We have small group tonight but Ive decided not to attend as the week was so busy I didnt get to spend alot of time with Ryan. We are going to hang out and spend the whole day playing.

I hope everyone enjoyed the nice weather and is having a nice weekend. They always go so fast.
Enjoy the rest of the day and hope your work week goes well.

Love,
Becky and Ryan

What a weekend.

Busy, Busy. Well we had a nice weekend but were on the go alot. Ryan went to Dave & Sandie's saturday morning. They went to a basketball game. Ryan had fun. I was at church taking a Good Sense financial class. It was very good and I signed up for the 2 day class in March. Itsm. a more in-depth class. My shower is finally done. It is awesome. It looks really nice. Ryan and I took a nap saturday afternoon and then headed to church. I volunteered in the walkers room and Ryan went to his normal room. This kid loves church. I decided to take him to Mcdonald's for dinner and he had a complete fit. He wanted to go to church. My goodness, I thought he was going to freak out. The walkers room was fun. It was so different, its been a while since Ive taken care of a 1 year old. This one little girl, Addison, she was so cute. She has a great personality and is a little mommy. Everyone did great and Im looking forward to next week. I have to admit that I was exhausted at the end of the night. I had to run to Walmart to get milk afterwards and Ryan didnt get to bed until after 10pm. That is way late for him.

Sunday, we got up way to early and I laid on the couch for a while. Then we got up and I started to clean the bathroom, vacuumed, did a little laundry, cleaned out my car, ryan took a nap, I did a ton of computer work and here we are. Ryan is having a snack right now, watching "Fly me to the moon", its about these young flies that go to the moon. Its a really cute movie.

Im getting caught up on everything before the start of the week. I made Taco Salad tonight for dinner and Ryan wanted nothing to do with it. He took a nice long bath and at the end sucked on the soap and the next thing I know he has bubbles coming out of his mouth and he's choking. I think he might have gotten a good sinus clean out with soap. Yuck. I made him drink some milk, he said it was burning. He was burping it up. Poor kid. He's doing much better now. I dont think he will put the soap in his mouth again.

Ryan did get outside for a little bit today. The fresh air did us some good. It was a rather nice weekend. He played. I think he is going to give me a run for my money this summer. I better put on my running shoe's now.

We hope everyone had a nice weekend. Hoping you have a nice, quick and uneventful week. We have a busy week with doctor appointments for ryan and physical therapy for me. Then I need to make an appt. for taxes. Yuck. They are going to be bad this year.

Take care,
Love
Becky and Ryan
