Kyler has become such a funny kid and so full of imagination and curiosity. August was very busy, and we were able to enjoy so many fun trips as a family to experience new things. One thing that I have not enjoyed this month is the "fake" cry. If he does not get his way or wants attention, he just starts to cry and wants to be held. It's hard to know what to do at times because he can be very convincing, and often I cannot tell if he is hurt or just frustrated. We continue to have lots of fun, and I wish that I could just keep a list of so many things that he says, but that would take up way too much space. So here are a few highlights of the month.
He has started to want to be clean, requesting new clothes or saying, "Get a washcloth for me, Mommy."
When looking at fish at the pet store, Ryan pointed out a fish and told Ky it was a tiger barb, which made him laugh and say, "No, Daddy, that a fish."
He has become obsessed with clocks and constantly asks, "What time is it?"
He has been pretending to be a baby tiger or other "baby" things.
We play "tag" together, where we basically just run around chasing each other.
He loves to "explain" things to his loveys like basketball or grocery shopping.
At bed time, he has been saying, "Hug my finger," or when we ask him how much we love him he says, "This much!" with his arms up in the air.
Kyler started to sit in church with us to prepare him for little lambs before we take him to nursery.
He took off running in a parking lot at the farmer's market, which resulted in Mommy's pulse super high and a timeout with tears.
Grammy and Papa came to stay with us, and Papa kept telling him, "Don't do it!" which made him laugh.
We had a family picnic at my elementary school, where Kyler called his corn dog a "hot dog popsicle."
Our neighbors let Kyler sit on their dirt bikes, causing him to want to "ride bikes" all the time.
When asked if he wants to use the potty, he always says, "Not yet."
We had a great time at the Hudsonville Fair. Kyler rode tons of rides with Daddy and never got scared, even on the ferris wheel.
We went to the farmer's market, but Grandma couldn't meet us there like usual. So Kyler wanted to get flowers to bring and "make Grandma feel better."
While washing his cars, I told him it was time for lunch, and he said to me, "I too busy Mommy. I washing cars."
Getting ready to go into the bath tub, he asked us, "Take off my dress, please."
We had cousin Abby babysit, and the next day Kyler asked if she could come over to play again.
He left lovey in the car and told me, "No need lovey, Mommy," when we went to church.
He had a great time at the Calvin Biology picnic, meeting "my new friend" Grace.
We built towers and then rained on them in the sandbox. Erosion lesson?
He helped to bake a cheesecake and ate part of a lemon--and liked it!
He had a great time during Safety Day in Hudsonville, where he watched a car get opened up with the jaws of life, sprayed a fire hose, and rode a horse!
He made a Mii and had a great time "driving" with Daddy on Mario Kart.
He helped Mommy wash 40 lbs. of tomatoes and build "tomato men" that looked like snowmen out of tomatoes.
