Oh the Weather Outside is Frightful...

soooo, find something to keep Ryan busy inside! That is no easy task these days. It rained cats & dogs for 2 straight days and we were stuck inside all afternoon. He used to be so good at playing by himself, but lately he's in a phase where he wants us to play with him all the time or at least be near him while he's playing. That can be hard, but I am doing my best the manage and balance it all out.

I took him back in his room and broke out the legos. His outfit is appropriate for the picture though. He loves to see how tall of a tower he can build.

I got out the record player (yes I have one) and my old 45's (remember those, the ones with the storybooks) and put on some music & stories for him. We rocked out to some 80's while Ryan threw his squishy football all over the place. He loves to watch it bounce off the wall. I may have the next Peyton Manning on my hands.

Armed & ready for a good throw!

I took this one the other day because it is an extremely rare moment. Ryan is and never has been a cuddly & snuggly child. Even has an infant, he never wanted to be cuddled. He woke up from his nap in a terrible mood...poor guy. He was so fussy & grumpy for an hour and cried off & on. We went to the computer (his favorite place, just like Mama) & watched his Elmo videos. He sat just like this for the longest time. I just soaked up every moment.
