In the life of Ryan...


I got to attend Ryan's first grade field trip recently. We went to a production of Beauty and the Beast and then to the park to play and have lunch. It was the most relaxed field trip I've ever chaperoned.

I volunteered for spring pictures at the elementary school. Ryan was not happy to get his picture taken. too many people watching, too much attention, too much pressure... Yet when we got home he let me take this picture of him playing outside.

Ryan has been a big helper recently around the house. His favorite chore is mopping the kitchen floor! He helped me plant spring flowers for the front of our home. He did a great job and stuck with me until everything was done and cleaned up.

I took Reid and Ryan to McDonald's during a day off of school. Reid made him this hat from his happy meal box.

Ryan and I attended a therapeutic yoga demo at the local Barnes and Noble on a Saturday afternoon. He has discovered a love of yoga and is interested in taking classes. He did a great job following the instructor but if it was something new he would stop and shrink down until they moved onto something he knew and was comfortable with. Overall, it was a great experience.
We are so blessed to have this seven year old in our family!
