Ryan

Some fun things about Ryan:

-He loves to make people laugh. He is especially good at initiating tickle fights with Matthew and Zachary.

-He loves doughnuts.

-He likes writing his name and is learning how to read small words.

-He has to be active all the time. Even when he is sitting still you can see the wheels in his head moving around (usually planning some sort of mischief).

-He played soccer for the first time this Spring and was a little hesitant at first but he got over that very quickly and jumped in with all of his might. He scored a lot of goals and stood up to some pretty big kids. He loved playing with some of his friends in the neighborhood.

-Ryan is a good big brother. He especially loves helping Andrew. One day Andrew was fussing and Ryan came running over. "Don't worry Andrew," he said. "You don't have to cry. You don't have any sisters so you won't ever have to play with Barbies."

-He has a great imagination and is very good at making spaceships and space stations out of legos. Ryan is interested in weapons right now and can turn anything he finds into some sort of gun, true to typical little boy fashion.

-He can draw some pretty awesome pictures of battles, usually between Star Wars characters.

-He is a great singer. He loves to sing the Bumblebee song, 1-2 Buckle My Shoe, and The Oxcart Song.

I can't believe he is going to be five years old soon. He's such a fun boy and we love having him in our family.
