Ryan Kaley!

Ryan is growing up so fast these days! We can hardly believe she will be three in July! She has already decided that she wants a Mickey Mouse birthday! That should be a lot of fun. Im already looking at many ideas for how to make her cake this year. It should be a fun bday! About a month ago I think I had written about Ryan's speech but I must say it has improved a lot since then! She seems to only have trouble with 2 syllable words but if I break them up for her she does very well and actually enjoys me doing that. So we have been working on our own and so far she is improving. She gets really happy for herself when she says a word correctly after being helped so that is really good. Ryan recently learned how to ride her big girl bike and absolutely loves it! Definitely her favorite thing to do while outside. We have to walk to one of the courts on either side of our house because we have no sidewalks but it is working out well and gives her a lot of space to ride. Bekah gets bored so we will have to find her a tricycle of some kind to get through the summer. The girls also got a brand new wooden swing set from Grandpa and Grandma Moon! What a nice gift for the girls! It is so much easier on me instead of trying to take crazy Bekah with no fears to a public playground! They still enjoy the public playgrounds but now we save those for times Daddy can go with us. Ryan's favorite family activity is going to the ice cream shop (Mrs. Curl) in downtown greenwood. We take the wagon and walk there. Ryan always gets a "nill nilla" ice cream cone. She licks every bit of ice cream she can without eating the cone! Ryan's other favorite snack is popcorn! That girl can put that stuff down! She just can't get enough of it! We make it special by letting her stay up after Bekah goes to bed and let her watch veggie tales while eating her popcorn. She thinks it is amazing! Ryan still loves to do school books and would do them all day if I didnt get tired of them. She loves to read books and basically anything that involves one on one attention! She definitely likes to be played with but if we are busy she plays a lot of pretend with her doll house. We really enjoy listening to her play pretend. We learn a lot about what she is taking in around her all day! The most recent change in Ryan is how much she loves sunday school! We started going to the church Scott and I grew up in and Ryan immediately loved it! Before this Ryan never made through a service actually they called her out before worship was over at our old church. However, at CCG Ryan made it through a whole service the first time! Ryan will occasionally cry when she is tired but otherwise she loves to go to church and wear a dress. She asks all week when it is church day! That makes Scott and I very happy! Now if we can get Bekah to go to nursery! Oh someday she will!
