The Many Faces of Ry

Probably for the past two months sissy has been helping Ry prepare for his big day. Which in actuality has meant mostly that he was totally confused about what "his number" was (how old he was). Finally the big day came. Mostly it was just a regular day around the house for the two of us. For his dinner he requested pizza (despite all of the encouragement to pick either chicken nuggets or corney dogs from sissy) followed by the rice-crispy treat cake. Now that he's four he's gearing up for being 5 because sissy has already informed him that he's got to be 5 before he can start Kindergarten and he is definitely excited about that one.
