Roller Skating

This was not her finest hour.  Ridley is NOT a fan of roller skating, and she immediately wanted the roller skates off.  She didn't make it one lap before melting down.  We will have to try again another day.

Ryland's first haircut

Ryland's hair has gotten out of control! John Chris and I have been talking about when we were going to have Ryland's first hair cut, and we decided that today would be the day. We wanted to just shape up his shaggy mess.
John Chris is explaining how the haircut won't hurt and how much better he will look. They look so deep in conversation. Do you think Ryland is buying it?

The minute he sat in the firetruck chair he started fussing, and all hell broke loose the minute the cape went around Ryland's neck. The lady said that this was a normal reaction for first haircuts. The fit got pretty ridiculous and the drooling started. We tried candy and his blanket to calm him, but neither worked.

WOW! What a cute little boy! He is all smiles now that the scissors and the cape are gone. He still looks like himself, and we are all pleased.

Holding a bottle is over rated

Ryland has decided to stop holding his bottle this week. If I even attempt to put his hand on the bottle, he goes crazy. I mean an all out crazy fit. He starts arching his back, slinging his arms, screaming, and crying. This crazy fit happens every time I try to put his hands on the bottle. I have no idea what is going on with him.
