Ryan Report
Topic: Ryan
Ryan still seems to have a little bit of a cold, but it hasn't slowed him down at all. Vapor rub at bedtime's been doing the trick.
My mom got Ryan those cute Pooh slippers he's wearing in the photo. Unfortunately he pulled them off shortly after I took the picture.
Ryan likes to sit at his little table. He also likes to scribble. I thought I would pull out an old box of crayons I've had forever. (To tell you how old they are, they were $1.69 for 64 crayolas, and the price tag said, "Sprouse-Reitz" on it!) The crayons had actually never been used. I gave one to Ryan, and the last thing he wanted to do with it was color. I showed him how, but he entertained himself for quite a while just taking them out of the box, playing with them, then trying to put them back in. He also made a game of handing them to me, then I'd put them back in the box, then he would try to take them out again faster than I could put them back.
For some reason the last three nights bath time has been rough. The night before last, Ryan pitched a serious fit when I put him in the tub. The water temp. was fine. I have no idea what his deal was. Last night it was looking like he was going to have a fit again, so I saved us both some agony and just for that night skipped it. Tonight I drew his bath and when I put him in, you would have thought I was trying to drown him from all the noise and commotion. After a few very long seconds, he settled down and played a bit. I really don't know what's bringing this on. I was extra careful with the water temp. Normally Ryan really enjoys his baths.
Next week Ryan has his shots. I'm not looking forward to it. The following week he's got his WIC appointment. Definitely not looking forward to that.
