Everyone who has kids knows that when you have a toddler, some days are better than others. On the bad days, you try not to pull your hair out while you try to think about and remember the good/fun days ;)
Today I had the best day with Ryder. There was not one tantrum. He listened/followed directions well all day. He put toys away....WITHOUT ME ASKING!! (That's a huge deal, by the way). He was happy and giggling all day, and was quite the ham bone too! There was a lot of laughing. Man I love my little dude :)
We started the day with a good breakfast where nothing was thrown on the ground or spilled. Then we went to ECFE, which is always a hit or miss with him, but today I'm pleased to report he loved school/didn't want to leave/played well with others. After eating well at lunch he had a fantastic nap (Yay for mommy!!!). Daddy got home early from work (yay!!) and brought me flowers (yay!!) and we went and played outside before dinner. Then after dinner Grandpa Paul and Grandma Amy came down to see Ryder for an hour or so before bedtime since they hadn't seen him in awhile. They brought down a heart balloon that he absolutely L.O.V.E.D. He ran around holding the balloon, screaming at the top of his lungs. It's safe to say he was a tad wound up. Just a tad.
He also enjoyed playing with his valentine's day gift-->a fisher price school bus. He was laughing out loud when he realized that it sings/makes noise.
I had a talk with Ryder before he went to bed tonight and asked him if we could do a repeat of this day again tomorrow. It truly makes such a difference (both mentally and physically) when you have such nice days (especially in the winter) with your little ones. I hope everyone had a wonderful Hallmark Holiday today too!
