When we went in for Ryan's ultrasound, we agreed we would wait to find out the gender until he was born. Turns out, Ryan had his own plans. When the doctor put that thing on my stomach, the first thing that showed up on the screen was his "gender". And pretty much that's all we saw through the whole ultrasound. We almost had to reschedule the appointment because the doctor was having a hard time getting all of the measurements she needed because he kept flipping around and showing us "that".
We should have known right then and there how strong willed that boy is! When he wants something, by golly he wants it right now! I think that this will benefit him when he is an adult. He will know what he wants and go for it!
This trait has carried over into his fourth year even. We had planned on going to the zoo on Saturday to celebrate his birthday. The forecast all week said that Saturday would be sunny and 70*. Sunday was supposed to be cool and rainy. So imagine our surprise when we woke up Saturday morning to RAIN. Lots and lots of rain. We tried to talk Ryan out of the zoo and suggested we move the party somewhere else. But he insisted "I wike duh zoo in duh wain." (aka "I like the zoo in the rain")
So we loaded up in coats and hoods and rain boots and headed to the zoo! It actually turned out nice! It rained almost the whole time we were there but the animals were all out. And there were lots of puddles to jump in! And who doesn't love to jump in a good puddle?! Ryan loves it! So we let him jump to his heart's content, it was his birthday after all. In our family, birthdays are kind of like a "get out of jail free" card. You can eat whatever, do (almost) whatever, and stay up late!
Here is a picture of the birthday boy with his Spiderman cake.
Me and the birthday boy! Please excuse the bangs, it was raining and it couldn't be helped.
I would like to say I got a ton of pictures but we were having so much fun, I didn't get many :/.
We are all quite happy that "zoo season" is back! We already have our next two trips in the works!
Happy birthday sweet boy!
