A boy and his fort

For awhile now I have been wanting to build Ryan his own fort so last Friday I did just that. And the kid was in love! It had everything he loves to do. Crawl through a tunnel and play hide and seek with a blanket. He was going crazy. So the entire day he spent inside his tent and every time I tried to go inside I would get pushed out. I wasn't aware that it was "no girls allowed." This past week Ryan has also learned something new. He will grab his chatter phone, sit in the corner and talk away to imaginary friends and precious family members. I love watching him act so grown up. Not only is he growing up but I have officially been replaced. A few months ago grandma brought home this stuffed monkey. You know the kind with the velcro on its paws so you can hang it up. Well, last week Ryan has started to sleep with it and carry it every where with him. When he goes off on his own to play he brings his monkey to sit with him. I've been trying so hard to get a picture but have come up empty. He is growing too fast. This Friday he will be one. But that isn't the only thing happening. We also have court that day, at the exact time he was born. I hate that I can't cuddle him at 9:34am and tell him that I love him from the moon and back....
