The Week from......... 2 year old ville

This week has been the comedy of errors with Ryan. On Wednesday, I had a doctors appointment that took an hour and a half to see the doctor for 10 minutes. Needless to say, Ryan's patience was wearing thin by the end. On the way home, I opened the windows since it was nice. Ryan decided to throw his hat out the window! Luckily we were stopped at a light, so I got out of the car and got the hat. Ryan was mad I wouldn't give it to him, and I was mad that my seatbelt folded and I couldn't buckle it! Finally, we made it home. After naptime, Ryan and I watched a video and he, being the 'helpful' child he is, noticed that I had finished my water bottle. So he decided to 'help' refill it. He got the very heavy Brita bottle out and proceeded to dump the contents all over the floor. With my big belly, I was of course having trouble mopping it all up! After we finished cleaning, I started to get dinner put together and Ryan usually helps by getting his milk out of the fridge. Today, he decided he wanted a cup of applesauce and after I said ok, decided to open it up - and spill it all over the floor. Because I yelped, Ryan freaked and started to run into the living room with the now almost empty cup of applesauce! So back to the floor we went - cleaning up pink applesauce! I was glad when the day ended! I sat back, folded baby clothes and watched a movie.

After that, our week got better. We went to Chuck E Cheese for dinner on Thursday, where we were supposed to meet other people, who didn't show up. It was packed since it is Spring Break here. Friday, we went to the library to play with some friends of ours. One little kid pulled the fire alarm (I am thankful it wasn't mine) so we ended up trying to get a bunch of little kids and old people who had congregated for tax help out of the library! Ryan just liked seeing the fire trucks! Kris was home when we got home and we worked all afternoon on building things for the baby. I built the beautiful bassinet my parents bought us for Easter and Kris built a plug for the swing, so we can avoid using batteries.

Today, we spent the morning at the gym. Then I relaxed reading a book and napping, while Kris put together Ryan's tricycle and putting the baby car seat bases into the cars. When Ryan got up, he got his first try at the tricycle! He thought it was fun, but has to work on the pedaling. Now Kris is making dinner with leftover ham from Easter and Ryan is playing with his new cash register he got for collecting enough stickers by sleeping through the night and staying in bed at naptime and bedtime. He has earned another toy/book as of naptime today, so we'll be going shopping again soon!
