This is Ryan's new concept for time. He has two tenses yesterweek for past or later for future. It's really fun trying to work out what will happen in the next few days with him and watch him figure it all out. We are gearing up for about a month of family visits. My parents will arrive late tomorrow night, and Jeff's parents will come at the end of the month.
It is fortuitous for the boy that his grandparents are coming for several reasons:
1) Today's lovely battle over a nap. He simply WOULD NOT go to sleep! I even left him there for a while and only came back in when he got rowdy in the crib. His response of late is "I can't!" WHICH I LOATHE. I don't know where he learned it, I make a conscience effort NOT to say things like that in front of him, but it a standard excuse for EVERYTHING lately. I finally won the nap war after a 30 minute drive to nowhere, which resulted in my going to Costco for more gas wearing my slippers :)
2) Ryan seems to think that it is nearly his birthday. Not sure why, but the g-parents ALWAYS have gifts, so I doubt I can convince him otherwise.
3) I need to take more breaks. With the impending arrival of Nugget, I am craving every second of free time, knowing that very soon we will be re-set to zero on how much time I can run away from it all. I am trying to make all my alone time with Ryan count for something too, as he has NO IDEA what it will do to his domain in sharing his Mommy time.
In other news, our family will once again walk in the March of Dimes Walk for Babies in April. This is a cause near and dear to our hearts, since Ryan was a preemie.

We still don't have the video done from Hawaii. I had to take the computer in for some service to the disc drive, and update iLife, so things may be moving along soon. In the meantime, I will make you all jealous with some scenery photos from Hawaii.

Have wonderful visits!
Am drooling over Hawaii photos.
And Nugget is just an adorable fetal name!
Love those pictures!
Cameron's measure of time is 'last' day for something that didn't happen today. "We went to the zoo a last day" if we went there last week, for example. Love this!
We also get the "I can't" at nap or bed time. Perhaps these two boys have figured out how to swap notes?
You have successfully tweaked my jealous bone with those photos! Oh yes!
Thanks for signing up for the March of Dimes March for Babies. We appreciate the support. I hope Zamboni and Nugget enjoy the day. :-)
