Fan Day!




We spent the day in Ann Arbor yesterday for Fan Day. The cousins had a lot of fun running around the field and playing football with my brother Rick. It was a near perfect day. Even Tyler enjoyed the atmosphere and he crawled for miles and has black knees and rash to show for it. I'm sure he would say it was worth it as he seemed to have a good time. Ryan didn't want to leave. He still wanted to run around and find someone to tackle. Jim stood in line for 45 minutes and never got an autograph. The lines were packed with fans.

Notice Life Today: We're still having struggles with Ryan and his poopy pants. He had some success before the UofM visit in Aunt Amanda's cool toilet. Last night he was given two choices...to get some poopy in the toilet or to go straight to bed with no stories. He made the choice to go to bed. Surprisingly, there was no fanfare. No screaming, no yelling and a surprised mom and dad who expected a tantrum. The real significance of this is the fact that he never goes to bed alone. One of us always lays down with him. About an hour later, he came downstairs and had some success in the potty and was sent back to bed. I don't know if the evening was harder on Ryan or his parents but it is time for some tough love.
