All About Ryder

happy boy

They adore each other

His best friend Lorelai

Haha

He loves to read

hahaha

For those of you who don't know Ryder this is all about him:

• His favorite food for breakfast is a pancake sausage corn dog.
• His favorite lunch food is a cheese quesadilla. (go figure haha)
• His favorite thing to eat for dinner is well, anything. But if he had his choice it would probably be chicken pot pie.
• Ryder thinks everything he eats is just a transportation device for ketchup.
• The only thing he wont eat is mashed potatoes. unless you mix some corn in it. he hates the texture.
• His absolute favorite fruit is a banana. He can eat a whole banana in ten seconds. He will settle for an apply though. BUT DON'T CUT IT. he has to have it whole.
• He LOVES chocolate milk. Ice cold water is his second favorite. And juice boxes are the coolest. He loves to drink with a straw or straight out of a cup. sippies are ok if thats all he can have.
• Ryders philosophy: Everyone needs at least one peice of chalk in their hand at all times.
• Favorite toys: chalk, basketball goal, BOOKS, and the big legos.
• Ryder loves to play outside. He loves to play in the dirt, go swimming, use chalk, and run around.
• His best friend: Lorelai of course. They are constantly laughing together.
• His security: Dog at night and chalk when hes nervous.
• His favorite book: anything with flaps in it.
• Ryders vocabulary has grown. Some of the words he can say now are: dog, chalk, mama, dada, elle (for lorelai), thank you, juice, outside, no, 'whats that', Isaac, the occasional T, when daddy gives him a bath and gets water in his eyes he will scream I want my mama but thats only if you listen hard, and if you take away food or a toy before hes done playing with it he will scream MINE MINE MINE MINE like the seagulls from Finding Nemo.
• He loves to watch the disney channel. and when lorelai is here they are addicted to Spongebob.
• He thinks that when you roll the window down in the car that you are magic.
• When Ryders around don't leave anything sharp in any drawer that he can reach. and dont hide valuable in there either. He has emptied my kitchen drawers so many times.
• he loves that we took the side of his crib off. He can't crawl back into yet its just a tad too high so if he gets out he will just fall asleep on the floor when he gets tired. And he doesn't wake me up in the morning. He will either just sit on his floor and watch TV or stand at our door and let Raine wake us up.
• He loves to tickle. While it feels like he is pinching you, if you giggle he will bust out laughing.
• Ryder can crawl into the dryer. He thinks its funny to get in there and scare me when i go into the pantry. (Don't worry we check to see where he is before we turn it on)
• His favorite animal: a dog of course.
