5 Days of Solitude - oh except a toddler!!

Kris left on Wednesday for California for two weeks. Before he left, he gave me a real treat - putting Ryan in the big boy bed. He ended up falling out and went back in the crib. So now Ryan has been wanting to sleep in the bed, even though I'm not ready, nor do I have a bed rail. Thanks a lot Kris!!!
Besides that, this week has been pretty peaceful with a couple of tantrums filled in (both of us).

Wednesday was mall, shopping and library day - overall a pretty happy day.

Thursday was sit at home all day long day. I made a fort in the basement, we played outside and went for a walk after it stopped raining (yes it finally rained here). Ryan also decided to 'cook' goldfish and popcorn. Then he dumped it all over the floor to have an excuse to vacuum. This is not where my fit happened!!!

Friday, we went to Daniel's Petting Farm to pet the goats and sheep, a hay ride and pick pumpkins. We had a great time even though Ryan was scared of letting the animals eat out of his hand. He preferred to throw the food at them or on the ground. Before we left was mom's fit of the week - literally. We were running late, Ryan pooped and I was trying to change him and he was trying to prevent it that it was driving me crazy. He did get an apology from me afterward - which I felt was necessary since I threatened to lock him in his room for the next 12 days until we see Daddy again! The rest of the day was ok.


Saturday, we went to soccer with a fit from Ryan who wanted to play outside, yet didn't want to get dressed to do it, and then wanted to play in the car. He cried for the first 10 minutes of soccer and then calmed down and had some fun. We played outside for an hour after we got home. After nap, we cut his hair, played in the sandbox and he took a shower. Overall, not a bad day.

So now we come to today. So far, we've played outside and went to church. Now I'm trying to coax him out of my closet with pizza for lunch, but so far it hasn't worked. He keeps closing the door on me. I guess I'll go eat!
