All the news that’s fit to print about Ryder. And you can bet there will be a lot pertaining to this category.
Ryder recently saw one of the pictures that cycled onto the desktop of our computer. It was the image below:
Is this....
When he saw this image on the computer, he said the following:
Ryder: “Daddy, what’s this picture on the computer?”
Daddy: “Buddy, it’s you – when you were little.”
Ryder: “But is that the picture of me when I went into space?”
Daddy: “…”
Ryder and Granpan
Although I can’t put an exact date on it, this happened within the last 4 or 5 months. Granpan Paul (Caitlin’s dad) came for a visit out to Chicago. Grandpan Paul (spelled as such intentionally, due to the particulars of how Ryder developed his grandfatherly-moniker) loves to explore the neighborhood on foot when he’s in town. He’s fond of Harvest Time and a few other local businesses. On a sortie to Harvest Time, GP must have passed a barbershop that sparked his interest. Although his hair wasn’t particularly in need of professional attention, the fire had begun to burn. I think that the extreme value represented by a unisex, primarily Spanish-speaking barbershop on Chicago’s north side served to incite Granpan Paul to action like psychic chum-in-the-water.
Hi. NiceTahMeetcha.
Our little guy Ryder isn’t quite so little anymore. But this picture is a fun reminder of how little he used to be.
