This blog is dedicated to Ryan Maiden who is an 8 year old boy who challenging, witty, intellectual, creative, and emotional. What Ryan feels on an emotional level is always magnified. He experiences joy, anger, frustration, excitement, dissappointment but at INTENSE levels. I love many things about Ryan but the attribute that I love most is his completely "out of the box" thought processes. Just yesterday we were at Patrick's football banquet and I was talking to a teacher. I was telling her that Patrick had moved into a Pre-Algebra course and that he had somehow forgot that 2 negatives = a positive. Ryan who was listening piped in - "well that certainly does not apply to life." We gave him a puzzled look and he said, "you know two wrongs don't make a right." Ryan is the image of Tom when he was younger. He has the same eyes and some of the exact same expressions. Ryan is very in tune to his surroudings and he feels other's emotions and sometimes takes them on as his own. He can mimic emotions like some people mimic voices. Ryan is having a great school year. He is getting ready to celebrate his 9th Birthday on December 2nd.
