Ryan is 4!

Sweet little Ryan Jacob is four years old today! Last night I was reminiscing about that same time four years ago and how exciting it was rushing to the hospital in the middle of the night. Oh what an amazing joy it has been to be your mother Ryan! You are so talkative and delightful. I love how you can play happily with just about anything, just using your imagination. The other day you pretended like your markers were the Chipmunks and had a great time with all the characters.
Sunday Ryan had his birthday party at Brunswick Zone. They dimmed the lights and the kids all had glow in the dark necklaces. Of course they put gutter guards in for the little ones and it was so adorable to watch them all "bowl". The bowling balls were so big for them but they managed to get the balls down the lane and even managed to knock down some pins! His party was attended by Tyler, Ethan, Savannah, Micah, Carter and Landon.
Yesterday Ryan got to celebrate his birthday at his preschool and brought in m&m cookies to share and Ms. Dana had a birthday crown for him to decorate.
Today was his real birthday, not to be confused with his fake birthday (what the boys call the day when they have a party but it's not actually their birthday). He woke to the usual streamer decorations and a big number "4" on his door. We had chicken nuggets at McDonald's for lunch and brought home a huge balloon bouquet. Grandma came over to help celebrate his birthday dinner. Ryan selected steak, watermelon and a huge bowl of vanilla ice cream for this birthday dinner. Not bad taste for a four year old. Since Rob worked today, Ryan agreed to pizza and cake tonight and his steak dinner tomorrow. Sounds like a good birthday week to me.
