Ryan and Kim Again

Carrie's cousin, Kim, and her fiance, Ryan, visited us again last Sunday. We all played Parcheesi until Shane awoke from his nap. I hopped up to get the boy, and Carrie quickly cleared all my pieces off the table!

After Shane was awake, we all ended up talking and playing in Shane's room. Shane, as usual, was a total ham with an audience.

What I didn't expect was Ryan got hyped up and played his heart out with Shane, too! I went into Daddy rest-mode to save some energy for after he left! (NOTE: It took a while to upload and edit, and it's about 11 PM so I didn't break this video down into slips. It's long, so if there was one to skip: this is it.)

At one point, I said "Someone's going to be tired and sleep well tonight....and Shane will, too!"

Shane scared Carrie at one point by walking over her head and jumping onto the bed! The nervous mommy smile cracks me up.

Kim hung back at first (camera shy!), but Shane wasn't about to let part of his new fan club sit out. He ran over to her and had her hide "in a cave" with him.

Ryan took the opportunity to launch stuffed animals.

It was a fun day. Ryan's definitely a "kid person" and Shane ate up the attention and churned it into high-grade toddler energy.

Say "Goodbye Viewing Audience, Shane!"
