Celebrating With Ryan

We took Ryan out to dinner, sans sisters, to celebrate making all A's on every report card he received from K through 5th grade. Hopefully he will continue that tradition when he moves on to middle school. A friend from church had been asking to spend some time with the girls so we took her up on her gracious offer and of course they had a blast with her. Ryan really seemed to enjoy some one on one time with us.

He loves Japanese steak houses so we took him to Shogun for his evening out. The chef was cutting up with him and we all had so much fun. We really got a big laugh when the chef tossed a small bit of rice at Ryan and he caught it in his mouth! I declined that little piece of fun and frivolity. Ryan cracks us up because as skinny as he is, the child can eat like no tomorrow. The chef must have sensed this because when he was doling the rice out he put just a tiny bit on Ryan's plate, then asked him if he wanted more - all the while you could see an ornery grin on his face. After he had Ryan laughing up a storm he filled his plate FULL of rice. The family we shared the table with could not believe he ate it all!
