Life with Ryan

The past week in our house has been interesting. I believe it is because we have a toddler boy running around the house :) Just wanted to share a couple of pictures from the past week.

As I was cooking dinner the other night, Ryan was playing with the items in the cabinets as usual. Pretty soon, he sounded more muffled than normal. As I came around the island to look for him he was appearing out of the cabinet below the island. He had hidden himself in the island cabinets and was having a blast!


Ryan's favorite time of day is probably the 15 minutes after his bath. It is at this time that he gets to run around his bedroom naked. Well, on this particular evening he decided to go downstairs after his bath. I followed him into the kitchen and scooped him up. There just happened to be an electrical cord for my electric skillet on the island. His go-go gadget hands reached out and grabbed the cord as he was lifted by the counter. We paused for a moment so the naked boy could stand on the countertop and this is what we got...not the safest thing to do with an electrical cord.


Wednesdays are chore day at the O'Neal household. Ryan and I go grocery shopping in the morning and spend the day doing laundry. This past Wednesday, I was putting the groceries away and Ryan was playing. I reached into the grocery bag and pulled out my eggs. As I set them into the refrigerator, I thought to myself, "I'm sure I had a couple of eggs left in here." Just then, it became way too quiet in the house and Ryan was no where in sight. I called his name and came around the corner to find the egg carton open with one egg placed nicely on the floor and the other in his hand. I very calmly said, "Ryan, what did you find?" I did not want to startle him or let him believe he was in trouble because he had a raw egg in his hand. Didn't work...as soon as he saw me he threw the egg to the ground as if it were a baseball. Oh well! It was chore day, so why not add cleaning the floors to the list.
