Many people ask me how Ryan compares to our other two children. In a way, that's hard to tell just yet. I feel like I forget some of the things Katelynn and Justin did at this age, and of course Ryan doesn't talk a ton yet to know what his true personality is going to be. However, I would guess he is going to be the biggest handful out of all three of them. Unless we have just totally forgotten about it, it seems as though at only 15 months old, Ryan has exceeded his brother and sister in so many ways. He climbs everything, and I mean everything. He does things that I never remember Katelynn and Justin doing (and that they still don't do so it's not like he is learning them from his older siblings). Take for instance the stove. We have always told all our kids that the stove is hot. We repeat that every time they are near it. The big kids never even attempted to mess with it. Ryan will say, "Hot! Hot!".... as he is pulling open the oven door. (And no, this does not ever happen when it is really hot as we keep a close eye on him specifically because we know he is michevious.)
So with all that being said, what happened tonight should not have surprised me. It really shouldn't have...
Yes, he made it all the way under that fence. We eat at McAlisters pretty regularly for their kids eat free night, and it's become a routine to play in the courtyard area after we eat. Tonight we had the patio fenced in with chairs where the gates open and close to keep the kids from going all over the place. Being able to run freely in an enclosed space just wasn't good enough for Ryan. He wanted total freedom, and he was determined to get it. So determined that he actually attempted to crawl under the fence. He made it once and then got stuck a second time. How do they even think of these things at such a young age?
