Two and a half

RyRy turned two and a half last Friday!  He is growing up to be such a sweet, funny, clever boy.  A few of his favorite things are pretend play (we'll go for a tractor ride, or a flight in the "angel" (the little Blue Angel jet daddy got him), or shopping), building with his lego duplos, playdoh, trains, playing with water at the kitchen sink, and playing outside (he’s figuring out his balance bike and likes to climb the the little rock wall at our playground).  It's so neat to see him interacting and playing more with other kids, too.   Now more than ever the phrase "the days are long but the years are short" is feeling true (can it really be that we'll have a three-year-old in September?!?).  Though his longer days were in the beginning, and now with his little sister we’re in the stage of longer days again, there are so many cute, funny, amazing gems in every day to treasure as he grows and figures things out.  We love him to pieces and count ourselves incredibly blessed.
