Today started at 5 am. It's not that early on a normal work day, but today is our day off. It sucked to get up, but Shane needed to be awake early to go get my bike anyway. I was so excited, but then realized that it was defective. Shane took it back and brought home a different one. We wanted to get out early this morning so it wasn't too horribly HOT. We went around the neighborhood a bit...Ryan started screaming and the bike seat was bruising my ass. Our first bike trip ended pretty quickly. We are going to try again tomorrow. We have figured out that when it comes to Ryan anything new has to be done slowly, or he freaks out and shuts down. I wonder which parent he gets that from?
We started putting together Ryan's birthday invitations. We made them ourselves because the cost for 25 printed invitations online was the better part of $100 bucks. I'm still trying to find a cake. I did finally decide on a jungle/monkey theme. We figured that would fit seeing how we call him "monkey"...and he acts and smells like a monkey.
We went into Chandler to get Ryan's blood drawn. The ladies prepped him and then just stuck the needle in. I was hyper ventilating and Ryan DIDN'T EVEN MOVE. Not Even a little bit...nothing. I was impressed. It's sad when you realize that your almost one year old child is so much braver than you. But in my defense, I had a horrific experience when I had to have blood drawn when I was pregnant.
