ryan's first year album
week 52 pictures
after a year of parenthood, here are 5 things i cannot fault my parents for anymore:
1) getting the kids mixed up. for me, it's getting the kid and dog mixed up which is probably worse. i don't know how many times i have said "ryan is in his crate".
2) being forgetful. maybe it's age... or maybe it's parenthood... although josiah has had this problem for as long as i've known him.
3) waking us to get up early. after one year of being woken up by ryan at 7am on saturdays, it's time for payback.
4) being worrywarts. my co-worker advised me that i won't get a good night's sleep ever again in that i will worry about my kid. my mom calls after each blog post she reads: please don't let ryan walk around with pointy objects! watch out for the long blind cords! is josiah cutting ryan's hair with an electric hair clipper in the bathtub?! likewise, i walk into a room and immediately scan for babyproofness and can see bad things happening like him tripping on toys and blankets or things toppling over as he leans on them.
5) on family vacations, no one wanted to share a hotel bed with me because i'm a roller. josiah has also complained of the same. ryan takes after me on this and now i don't get much sleep when he sleeps in our room. ryan pushes me to the very edge of the (king-sized) bed and i wake up with a crick in my neck from trying not to fall off all night. according to josiah, i am getting a taste of my own medicine. yeah yeah....
