Tyler's Week with Dad

While Eunice and Spencer were in St. Louis, Ryan and Tyler had some fantastic bonding time - really the first time that they've been together for an extended period without Spencer in the picture. And what a difference! It ends up that Tyler knows all the words in his favorite books. He just never gets a chance to say them before Spencer blurts out the answer. And when Tyler doesn't have to compete for attention all the time, there's no reason to shriek or whine...

So what kind of trouble can an 18 month old and his dad get into when alone for the week? Not much, it ends up. Work/daycare ate up most of the time during the week, but Ryan was definitely ready to pack in fun activities and quality time with Tyler come the weekend. A Christmas party at the Canadas, brunch with Adam and Rachel at Alana's, a family-oriented Christmas service at church, lots of walks around the neighborhood.... single parenting is a piece of cake with only one ;)
