I stopped for gas after I picked up Tyler yesterday. We stopped at a gas station that does repairs, too, and both their mechanics’ bays were open. They also both had cars up on the lifts. Tyler did a double-take when he saw that and said “those cars hanging in the air!!” I told him… Continue reading In the Air

I was on the hunt for a bathing suit (ugh), when Kevin had a good idea. Just find on old pair of sweatpants and make them into cut-offs. Works for me! so I laid them out on the bathroom and cut them off just above the knee. That is just when Tyler happened to walk… Continue reading Your Pants Broke!

Tyler has always reveled in being naked. It is so fun to watch him just tear around the house in the buff, yelling “nakeys! nakeys!” and waving his arms in the air. I also admire the toddler’s complete and utter lack of self-consciousness. We also have this ongoing joke that started one day when I… Continue reading Take it off, Daddy, Take it off!!

A while ago I posted about Tyler’s attempts to sing the ABC song.  He has completely mastered it now.  He even sings the “now I know my ABCs, next time won’t you sing with me” at the end.

Our sweet little dictator has been marching around issuing declarations lately.  “I want juice!”  “I want cookies!”.  Of course, I would prefer he actually asks (“may I have a cookie, please”), but I would be satisfied with “I want a cookie, please”.  I keep reminding him to say please, and he does, but it is… Continue reading I Want, I Want, I Want…

I realized yesterday that all of a sudden we are having actual conversations with Tyler.  We’re not discussing philosophy yet, of course, but he is really starting to develop abstract ideas and some grasp of sentence structure and grammer.  Here are some examples: When I got back from the grocery store yesterday, upon seeing the… Continue reading Conversations

Well, Tyler’s been on the Flonase for about  a week now, and it seems to be working.  I only have to give it to him once a day, and he has been having less symptoms.  I also switch to giving him his whole dose of zyrtec (1 teaspoon) in the evening instead of half in… Continue reading Allergy Update

About two or three months ago, Tyler figured out how to open doors with regular doorknobs.  This development has occured much sooner than I would have thought.  Now we have to take another look at toddler-proofing!

When I picked Tyler up from daycare today, Kathy told me “Tyler is the most polite non-compliant child I’ve ever had!” Apparently when she asked him to clean up his toys, he told her “No tank you!”. He does that with me, too when I try to get him to do something he doesn’t want… Continue reading Well, At Least He’s Not Rude…
