Ryan - maybe 1987?

Ryan has become a real part of the family. His big thing while I was there was giving up his bottle. In the middle of the storm, Susan took him out to the garbage dump and had him help her throw his bottles away (not that he understood but she explained it just in case). The big trial came Friday night when he awoke and no one gave him a bottle. He had been used to 2 or 3 bottles every night. We all "suffered" a bit while he cried for an hour and a half but Susan won the first night bottle and finally after that one he decided it was no use, began playing, and she put him back to bed.
