It's always the little things that make it a great day.

Well, today I would classify as a great day. Ryder spent the night at Grams and I picked him up after a cleaning job. We had lunch and while he napped I got a few meals prepared for the week. Having a child with mulitple severe food allergies means that every meal is made from scratch, very few processed things go into his mouth, and it is extremely challenging, especially for someone who was never a good cook, or very creative!
After nap we baked banana muffins, as the ones we made last night he thought were "gross". Then Ryder was content to watch Mickey Mouse while I cleaned up the disaster. At bedtime he lasted about ten min before he started crying for me. As he has been going to sleep better the past month or 2 I went in. He told me he was done his nap:) So we read a couple of books. Franklin is one he got for christmas, and he seems to enjoy learning about the animals in the stories. We happened to be reading about a beaver and a moose, and we have two stuffies of those, so we brought them into bed with us. He named the moose moosey and as I was reading the story I saw that he was looking for something on the stuffy. I asked him what he was looking for and had to ask him to repeat it 4 times before I finally accepted that he was saying that moosey didnt have any balls!!!
