Happy Birthday Rylan

So, today Rylan turned 3! He is just the funniest kid. Where would we be without our Ry guy? A couple of days ago I was leaving Walmart and Rylan had been super good. (He has been struggling at the stores recently.) Rylan informed me that he would take his doughnut reward now. (Bribery-yes I stoop that low!) I told him we had one more store to go to. He looked at me and said, "I don't think so brewster." I was laughing so hard. I mean really...where does he come up with some of this stuff? I ended up giving him the doughnut before we went to the other store. The other thing he has been funny about is Batman. He has decided that that is what he wants to be for Halloween. So, the other day, he informed me that he was going to jump off the balcony. Minus the physics lesson, I told him I didn't think that would be a good idea. He told me, "Duh, I am going to have my batman suit on..." Well then, by all means jump away. I guess I didn't fully understand. (Disclaimer: of course I am not going to let my child jump off the balcony. Don't worry.)

The other day at Walmart a guy turned to Rylan and said, "Wow, you sure are a redhead." Rylan answered back, "No I'm not. I'm a coppertop." He will fight with anyone who says otherwise. So here is our coppertop on his birthday.

He got his Handy Manny motorcycle. He has been wanting it and mom has been trying to ignore that...but it is his birthday. I figure he and the other kids have probably played with it enough in just this one day that it is good.

And here he is blowing the candles out. -I know the cake is super amazing. I don't need anyone to tell me about that. Really, we have a great track record of some pretty hideous cakes at our house.-

We are so blessed to have Rylan in our family. Love you buddy!
