..that he’s cute,
…that I love him,
…and that I’m going to a workshop tonight and Dad has to take over.
Because, otherwise, Ryan wouldn’t make it to his 2nd birthday tomorrow!
Grrrrrr….. :\

How was I supposed to know that Pampers Easy Ups come in a girl version and a boy version? Arrrgh! No Ryan isn’t potty training, I just wanted to use them as a diversion tactic when he doesn’t cooperate with his diaper changes.

Goodbye Neon, goodbye.
Since 1995 you have been a trusted friend.
You brought two “celestial sistah’s” across the country in style.
You didn’t complain when someone smashed tomatoes on you in Bay Ridge.

You became [...]
