Ryan

This kid is killing me lately. My favorite age is 2-4 years old. Ryan's just hitting all those things I like about that range... he says the funniest things. Yesterday we were watching a video of a little Corgi dog running. He turned to me and said, "She so adorable."

He's into throwing a football, playing hide-and-seek, and sword fighting. He loves playing games even though the only one he'll sit somewhat remotely still for is the matching game. He continues to be infatuated with letters and numbers and loves to be read to. He's taken to saying, "That so funny" while slapping his knee.

I swear I laugh at him EVERY day.

He's also one of the politest children I know. He says "excuse me" all the time - at appropriate times. The lovely thing is he says it to anyone - like the lady in the post office the other day when he needed by her. Boy was she impressed. And if you belch and don't say anything (not that I would ever do such a thing) he says, "'scuse you!" with a huge smile on his face.

This is him saying, "I do something on you (sic) phone?"

"I play Angry Birds?"

Tell me, really, in three words or less, how do you say no to a child like this? 

This video is very dark, but worth sharing. I was tucking Ryan into bed last night and asked him to sing me a song since my throat was scratchy. He agreed to sing it for the camera. Enjoy!
