The Sweetest Thing

If ever there was a child who wore his heart on his sleeve, it would be Ryan Patrick. He's very sweet and extremely polite too! It's seems as though we only had to explain the whole "please and thank you" thing to him one time and he's had it down ever since. It's funny that even when he's very upset, he always makes sure to say "thank you". This usually happens if something is taken away and he's upset about it. When given back to him, he will say "thank you" right through his tears. He always says "please" when asking for something too. It's so nice to hear! He is very sensitive to others' feelings and he doesn't like to see his family cry... especially Mommy! If Mommy is sad, he will come over and say "Mommy! NO!" and he will pat Mommy's head and give her a hug. Lately we have been reading a book called "Oh My Oh My Oh Dinosaurs"... you could say it's one of Ryan's favorites. It's a book about opposites. On the first page, you will see various dinosaurs holding balloons and having fun. The caption says "Dinosaurs Happy"... on the opposite side, there are two dinosaurs with a popped balloon and the caption says "Dinosaurs Sad"... one of the dinosaurs has tears coming down his cheek. First Ryan points to the happy side and says "Party!".. then he'll point to the sad side and say "CRY".. while pointing to the tears. It's really very sweet. That's my boy! Good job Ry Ry!
