Play Date and Birthday Celebrations!



We celebrated my moms birthday on Friday at the Hunt Club. A fun time was had by all. Food was good, games were fun, and visiting with family is my favorite pasttime.

On Saturday, it was hot! A good thing for the kids at the playdate that we went to at my friend Lisa's house. (Thanks Lisa!) She set up a really cool waterslide and the kids couldn't get enough even though it was powered by freezing cold hose water. Ryan was hesitant at first--shy, and wanting mom to show him the way. After just a few minutes of viewing the fun and he gave it a whirl. The boy never stopped running back for more. Hours of fun!


We celebrated with Ryan's friend Kahlen on Sunday. Nice party. Nice company. Ryan can't wait to go back down as he has no experience with My Pretty Pony and/or Care Bears. He wants to check out all the hype!

Notice Life Today: Tyler did alot of standing in place this weekend. He is getting in practice to take his first step. He also practiced coming down the stairs yesterday and is getting pretty good. (Not enough to remove gates, however.) He ate a whole container of peaches too! The little gagger is getting a taste for solids.
P.S. I know you're getting tired of hearing about poopy stories. If so, stop reading now. I just have to document this experience. Ryan had some success again on the potty last night. yeah. He says he will try again after school. Even Jim is about fed up with Ryan's lack of cooperation. We had a family meeting yesterday and described to Ryan that there will be no more fun and games until he is trained. This is a really scarry threat as it takes away fun for the whole family, but it is time. (Friday just about did me in...there are only so many diapers you can change.)Cross your fingers.
