Ryan's New Playground

In the past 2 days, RyanC has been pulling us to go with him to play in his new playground. He does this ~3 times a day. He would start fussing if we refuse to take him. Once there, he does not want to leave!

Well, the playground was supposed to be a new mini-van (Toyota Sienna LE) to replace wife's older sedan but our little boy found it more suitable for his enjoyment -- even though this minivan does not have any bell and whistles like DVD player or navigation system. Wife decided on the basic model with power-sliding doors.

We inspected the playground in garage -- I was really looking for spots to drill if I ever get around to purchasing/installing backup sensors. RyanC was looking for buttons to push and he has also been imitating everything we do lately.


RyanC enjoys climbing all over the car to sit in all the seats. He would push all the buttons and then opens/closes all the compartments he can find. I think he is having more fun in this minivan than in a bathtub. Here he is pretending to be driving.


When we turn on the music, RyanC would start dancing no matter which row he is checking out at that time. He walks and climbs through the three rows of seats happily -- always on the lookout for more buttons and compartments.
