Ryker is 3!!

Happy Birthday Ryker Boy!!!
This year Ryker got lots of fun toys for his birthday even though all he wanted was a slide and a trampoline. Here he is with his little work bench. Opening a whole slew of matchbox cars to go with his "town" rug. Grandma & Grandpa C gave him this fun bounce house. It was the closest thing they could get to a slide and a tramp. But he loves it!!! He will spend hours in it if we sit outside with him. The great part is it wears him out so he sleeps good!
Here are a few things about Ryker:
*He is a motor head. All his toys make noises like they were real. The louder the better. He loves playing with his toy trucks, 4-wheelers, motorcycles, and snowmobile. He likes to make "the dunes" out of the couch and a blanket.
*his favorite camping spot is the sand dunes in the little Sahara desert.
*loves playing in the dirt
*can ride his big bike all by himself & he can now turn it around without tipping it over.
*loves going to Grandma & Grandpa Coleman's house. Lacey is his favorite playmate. His favorite place to sleep over is there.
*loves Disney movies, Dora and Diego
*can count to 13 all by himself.
*knows about 15 colors
*knows basic shapes
*talks in full sentences & uses words I didn't know he knew how to use in a sentence or their meaning.
*has the sweetest singing voice. I love when he sings little house in the woods, 2 little boys, lets go fly a kite & the wonder pets song.
*has his own camera and takes random pictures around the house, mostly of his toys.
*really likes to do the dishes, which is great cause I hate it.
*always wants to help cook, but is a bad eater. He likes to snack but doesn't like to sit down to a meal and eat.
*favorite foods are: fruit, mac & cheese, hot dogs, cheese burgers & sweets
*loves grandma's diet coke much to my dismay.
*sometimes has bad dreams that are off the wall
*has a special blanket that he calls his blue awe
*still likes his binkie
*hates wind and rain storms. If it thunders and lightening we can guarantee he will be sleeping with us
*has been potty trained since he was 2 which was all on his own. All we did was buy big boy undies
*doesn't know his own strength which his cousin Carson gets the brunt of most often.
*knows what he does and doesn't want & if he doesn't want it he will let you know.
*gets shy around strangers
*has the cutest little personality. He is such a sweet boy! We are so lucky to have him and love him so much!!!
