skater boy.

so, remember back when we were having such a problem with ryan

crying at school?

well, we pulled out a parent's favorite weapon...

the bribe.

we told him, if he didn't cry at school, we would buy him a skate board.

and, well, what do you know,

just like that,

he stopped crying at school.

so.

he got a skate board.

and, like all his other ventures,

(riding a bike without training wheels, his scooter, hockey)

he mastered it in a few days.

so, now we have a

no more cryin,

bicycle ridin,

scooter scootin,

hockey playin,

skater boy.

HOORAY!
