Happy birthday, Ryan! You’ve made it to THREE! You’re kind of a maniac, so there were definitely times when three was questionable (I kid, mostly.) but you’ve made it three whole years in on piece. I’m so lucky to be your momma – you made me into a momma, have taught me patience (and then some) and make me laugh every single day. You’re such a good big brother to Owen, even if I find you two in more headlocks than hugs, and he’s such a lucky kid to have you to teach him everything. You’ve learned and grown SO MUCH over the past year and it’s amazing!
This year, you moved into a big boy bed! You still fight sleep, but I forsee that being a lifelong struggle.
You had your first ice cream come this year – a fan, just like your momma.
You’ve become such a big help – you love getting things from other rooms for me, helping me make dinner, and cleaning up.
You took your first trip to DISNEY!
You’ve taken your fair share of spills – but we make it worth your while. As much as it scares me, I hope you never lose your fearlessness.
I’ve never met a person – adult or child – who enjoys life more than you. Even when you’re upset, your crying jags usually end in uncontrollable giggles.
Cooper was still your best friend of all time.
But Owen is definitely fighting to be a contender. I love watching you two play together – I am so happy that God gave you a little brother to play with and love.
Your truck love was strong this year. I don’t think you’ll ever lose that deep love.
You’re such a goofball – you can make anyone laugh in 15 seconds flat.
You dressed up for the first time this year and went trick or treating!
I love you my little love bug. You’re the best kid a momma could ask for and I can’t wait to see what this next year will bring. Happy birthday, Ryan Richard!
In the Life of Boys – Happy Memorial Day!

Happy birthday to your little guy! Such a cutie π Also, I’m new to your blog and so happy to see your Disney post! We’re taking our little guy in Dec when he’ll be 15 months (not the ideal age, but it’s a larger family trip) and I’m definitely a little anxious about how that will go…thanks for all of the tips!
