four

I have been waiting to post this until I had time to do Ryan's 4 year-photo session.  Unfortunately, I haven't taken the pictures yet (but it is one of the 200 things on my to-do list).  I wanted to get some things written down before I forgot them completely though.

I did this interview with Ryan on his birthday this year and it is something that I hope to continue in the future with all 3 kiddos. 
What's your favorite color?  Brown, and yellow and blue
What's your favorite toy?  My marble run toy
What's your favorite fruit? watermelon
What's your favorite tv show? Little Einstein and Jake and the Neverland Pirates
What's your favorite treat? lollipop
What's your favorite thing to eat for breakfast? waffles
What's your favorite thing to eat for lunch? a turkey and cheese sandwich
What's your favorite outfit?  any clothes are good
What's your favorite game? car racing game (on the Wii that he has played maybe 5 times in his life)

What do you want to be when you grow up? really strong. 
What's your favorite movie? Toy Story 3
If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go? A children's museum
What's your favorite thing to do with Owen? play with him.  Emily? Share toys with her.  Daddy? Play!!!!  Mommy? Give hugs and kisses.

You are such a good boy, Ryan.  You are very predictable and like to stick to your schedule.  You go to bed without any issues, you do what we ask you to do (most of the time), you are independent but still love to cuddle with us.  Your teachers described you as one of the most joyful children in class and said that your temperament was always the same and that you are one of the most even-keeled kids in class.  You are incredibly smart.  You love to sing and dance and jump around like crazy.  You like to climb and you have recently become fearless.  You are a VERY picky eater and rarely touch your dinner.  You love to make friends and get upset when people don't say hi or good-bye or respond when you talk to them. You no longer carry monkey and new blanket around with us everywhere we go.  They are now permanent fixtures in your bed.  You were a breeze to night potty train.  You fight with your brother quite a bit but you guys love one another so much.  You love Jesus.  You love school.  You are such a blessing and we thank God for trusting us to be your parents.  :)


Ryan with some of his best friends!

so focused and always trying to figure things out. 

everything is a competition with him and he LOVES to be first. 

I hope they are friends forever. 

you are joyful!

you are silly -- almost all the time. 

you love family time

you love taking walks to the playground

you LOVE to read



you always try to make us laugh...and your laugh is the best
you get the giggles regularly and cannot contain your giggles

somehow you have become one of the big kids at the playground
