Sweet Notes

As I was going through the bills for the office today I noticed a sticker on an envelope with Brad's handwriting on it. Instead of 'My Dentist is my hero!' he wrote it as 'My wife is my hero!' It was so sweet to see that and it's always nice to feel appreciated. I love the simple ways he shows me that he cares.

Ryder is really funny/difficult lately. I try to say funny because I'm trying not to get too frustrated about it, but we sure are learning how stubborn he is! He absolutely hates to wear pants, shoes, and jackets. All he wants to wear is pajama shorts, a t shirt, and naked feet. If he goes outside he'll wear flip flops, but not shoes. Unless it's Sunday. He's willing to wear Sunday clothes. But every other day of the week is a battle! It's gotten a lot colder here lately and it's definitely pants and jacket weather and I'm having a hard time convincing Ryder of the necessity of the warmer clothes. While I was making dinner tonight Kade and Tenley went to play outside and we refused to let Ryder outside until he was willing to wear pants and a jacket. After several minutes in his room he finally, yet very grudingly, came out of his room and was willing to wear his jacket. Aye yai yai! What to do!?
