Ryan was blessed with many many presents on his birthday. He's been discovering them slowly, to date he's opened about four or five out of about thirty to forty presents.
One of the presents we've opened is a tub of wooden fruits and vegetables, with a wooden knife and cutting board to cut them up. This was a present from Kim. I was so excited about the present that I introduced it to Ryan the night I brought it home (Monday). We sat on the carpet in the living room and chopped away. Ryan could handle the cutting but I don't think he enjoyed it that much and I knew it was because he didn't truly understand what we were doing. So today, after dinner, I asked Richard to sit next to Ryan and cut apples for our dessert and I set out the wooden fruits and veggies for Ryan so he could "join in". This way, Ryan would be able to relate what he was doing to real life.
As you can see from the photos, Ryan really enjoyed it!

| Yeah! This is fun! |
