In the spirit of nostalgia, and the fact that my oldest baby turned 7 yesterday, let's take a short trip down memory lane through pictures:
This is Nanny & Grampy P visiting with Gerald Ryan in the NNICU. Ryan was born at 35 weeks so had to go the NNICU to make sure all was well. He spent 6 days there.
This is Ryan @ 3 months. Kathy took this and it is still one of my favourite pics of my little man.
This is Ryan at Sarah's birthday party. He's just over a year old here. How cute is he??
Ryan at 19 months old. All eyes and lips.
Ryan's 4 here. All dirty and digging...his life's work!!*********
Yesterday was a good day. Ryan is now officially 7, and is less one tooth which brings the number of baby teeth gone now to...6. He lost his tooth in his sleep and though we thought he swallowed it, we did manage to find it as he was tucked in last night. We took the birthday boy and some of his friends to the zoo to celebrate the day. It was ... interesting. Let me just say a couple of things and then I shall never speak of this event again:
- I shall never complain about the "hyper-ness" of my boys again,
- ADHD medications should be given out to some children manditorily (is that a word?),
- NEVER AGAIN will I mix a certain 3 boys in one room again (and I'm not speaking about my children).
Thankfully, it was 2 hours and then it was over. Then it was back home for more festivities with friends and family. It was a long day, but Ryan had a blast. Kenny had filled the pool up on Saturday and the kids were swimming in water that was about...15 degrees Celsius. There were many a kid with blue lips and shivering bodies. But they had fun and that's all that mattered. We ate early, and everyone was gone by 10 after 6. I was asleep by 8 on the couch.
I have lost my voice, I feel pretty shabbily and today it's raining and grey. Almost like mother nature is saying: Kelly...you rest today.
But there is no rest for the wicked. I have 5 days of neglect in this house to look after. Tomorrow, I shall rest....xo
