Ryan Turns 2 year old!

I am really late publishing this to our blog but I thought I needed to post it anyway. Ryan had his 2nd birthday on September 14. What fun we had with it.

I even made the cake this year. It was quite the adventure. I have not made a cake like this before. Ryan decided to help me about the time that most of the car was complete - he must not have liked the logo because he wiped it clean off in one good swipe of his index finger. He sure liked the taste of the frosting.

Casey and Abby bought Ryan a cars helmet, knee pads and elbow pads. He loved them! He immediately had to pull it out and put it on. Nana and Papa bought him a bike. He was sure excited about the bike as well. He hasn't quite mastered riding this one - he still prefers the pink and purple one from Aunt Mindy and Kylie. Maybe next summer he will be more in to the big boy bike.

Ryan was excited about clothes this year as well. What kid gets excited about getting clothes for a gift at this age?

I did not really understand what people would say about the terrible 2's because our first two boys did not go through those stages - or at least it wasnt too bad. I definately understand the phrase now though. Ryan fits it to the "T".
