We got our boy back!!!!!!

Thank the Lord, we got our boy back (at least temporarily!!!!!)  Ry has resumed his normal, sweet self at least for the time being!  I am fully aware that anything could change within minutes and I am always fully prepared now when getting him from a nap or in the morning that I always run the risk of Rylan the Ferocious but it's a chance I will take. :)  Although the ferocious beast has left our home we have discovered a whole new independence in the past week or so....Ry wants to do EVERYTHING himself, "Ry Ry do it!" is a phrase heard numerous times a day - this is exciting as he is gaining independence and developing  - I guess it also means he is growing up.  This can be frustrating for Rylan and us as there are some things he can't do (cut cherries, steam broccoli, light the grill, yup - these are all things he wants to do so badly.)  Eric and I have really realized that we have to stay one step ahead of him always and keep on our toes, our Ry Ry is fast!!!

We have had a lot of fun lately......see pictures below.

One of many pool days.....LOVE the last one, he looks so relaxed with his drink and snack!

We have the perfect zero depth pools near us, they have fun sprinklers, splash pads, slides, and even a lazy river.  

My school year ended last week and we had an end of school year scavenger hunt.  I took Ry up for it as I was off that day but wanted to be a part of it and say goodbye to our class.  Ry loved all the excitement and kids.  He took their hands and went off to look for the treasures.  He also enjoyed watching our class talent show and having lunch with the teachers.  I think he was wiped out from all the excitement as he napped for over 3 hours (which never happens!!!!)

Mommy and Ry went our to dinner and had a sprinkle cookie for dessert to celebrate the start of summer vacation - Ry was really into licking all the sprinkles off the cookie.  FUNNY BOY!

 This past weekend the weather was in the 80's which was very unusual for AZ in late May, we loaded up and spend the morning at the zoo.  We got a real treat as the lions were roaring like crazy and it was awesome to hear!  We also got a great show from the chimpanzees who were climbing and doing acrobats for us.  Ry cracked up and thought it was hilarious!
