Ryver is 3 Years Old!

3 things we know and love about RYVER!

1. He loves to be independent and do things himself, especially make his own PB and honey sandwich.

2. He has a short fuse (temper)-He for sure gets this from his DAD!

3. He puts himself to bed and down for a nap often. He tells me he's tired, goes in his room, shuts the door, and goes to bed.

Wow I really can't believe it's been 3 whole years since Ryver has entered our family. He has grown up so much this past year. He is such a fun loving kid.
He has made a huge amount of progress going to speech therapy, and will now talk to other people-if he is in the mood. He loves to help Mom cook in the kitchen. He finally conquered standing up to go potty. He still likes to stay as clean as possible. His favorite song is "The Wheels On the Bus Go Round and Round" and "Jesus Wants Me For A Sunbeam". Favorite book is "Smash Crash". He is still afraid of dogs and horses. The list could go on and on. We love him so much, and are so thankful that he chose to come to our family. Love ya little buddy!

As you can see in the pictures below Ryver was quite excited about his gifts. Grandma and Grandpa gave him a little tractor farm set. We gave him his bike and Grandma and Grandpa Hayden gave him his helmet. Sad to say he was more excited about his farm set at the time.






Ryver wanted a COW cake for his birthday, and this is what he got. Why do cakes always look so much better in the picture than when I try and do them? Sorry Ryver, this is what your cow looks like!







Grandpa Gordon looks really serious about this birthday spanking and pinching.
