He's Baaa-aaack!

Some will remember the glowing blog from the beginning of Kindergarten...just a couple of months ago...regarding little Ryan and how he was surprising me with his maturity each day?!? Well....these days I'm wishing we had hidden cameras in our house documenting the morning "routine", which now consists of daily fits reminiscent of the 2-3 year old age. (I say hidden because I can no longer document these "funny" moments on video as he is aware that I am doing so and will either 1. think that I think that this is funny or 2. become even more "irritated" and that's putting it mildly!)

Really, People?

It's been a while!! Not that I haven't had plenty to write about...guess it's been more about the plenty of time, or lack thereof.  Life has been as eventful as ever, that's for sure...

I'm prompted today to write because I've received some flak for taking my 5 year old baby boy for a pedicure. You know who you are, those people voicing opinions. I honestly don't see what the big deal is...my mom and I were going, he wanted to come along. He didn't get his toes painted...and he's very manly. Besides, men DO get pedicures and I'm fairly certain that the women behind those men thoroughly appreciate the fact that they don't have yucky, rough feet.  I didn't give this miniature spa treatment a second thought...until the second "comment" rolled in. Now I'm thinking...

I'm thinking that you people are weird and uptight. I'm thinking that I don't judge you, so you shouldn't judge me. I'm thinking that there are so many more important things to worry about in this world than me taking my tiny guy for a pedi on a beautiful Friday afternoon.  It's called quality time...and if he enjoys it and wants to spend time with me doing it, then who cares!! Just for the record, he spent the rest of his weekend doing tricks on his bike, ripping scabs open, playing sports & throwing elbows in his soccer game, talking about how hot beautiful his friend Matthew's sister is and going on roller coasters in the dark.  I'm pretty sure I haven't feminized him too much...I'd say he's pretty well rounded.

Really, people?!?
