Ryan is a triplet, but she is the star! She's a character with so much personality, it's been amazing to watch her develop. In the NICU as a 2 month old baby, she would pucker her lips, and we thought it was so funny! Now at 2, her bold personality is showing; she loves the spotlight! She sings, she dances, she loves wearing her sunglasses, and smiling big! She's become such a light in our house, and she has her triplet brothers wrapped around her fingers! She proves that girls are the boss!
What are Ryan's favorite activities?Music is Ryan's number one love! First thing in the morning she asks for us to put on music, and she immediately sings and dances. And her taste is eclectic, she loves it all: from Moana to Michael Jackson, Jill Scotts "Golden" to Gracie's Corner "Good Morning". She is a performer!
How would $25,000 impact your family?$25,000 would change our lives at the moment. We are struggling to find daycare for the kids that we can afford. I'm considering leaving my job to stay home and watch them, because daycare for three 2-year olds is extremely expensive. This money would go to a very normal thing but a very important thing in our life: quality care for them. They are our special babies, we almost lost them at birth, and now considering daycare, it means a lot to us that they are taken care of. They are our angels!
