The Bebej Blog: Kyler -- November 2014

I know all parents love their kids and think that they are super funny and smart, but I have to say that this kid keeps us laughing and on our toes almost every single day. His imagination has just taken off, and it is so much fun to see what he thinks up next. He is often treating toys as his "friends." Whether lovey is telling him things or he has a new friend like a ball, we always seem to have extra playmates now. Probably the biggest things that happened this month were Ryan spending a week in Germany for a conference and Kyler turning three years old! It was a busy month, but it was so much fun to spend it with such a great kid. Here are some highlights:

After Halloween, he loves to line up his candy, putting them in categories and spelling out their names.
He had a great time riding side by side with Devin in the cart at Costco.
He almost spelled the word "ball" on his own, simply by sounding it out.
We made a paper chain to count down the days until Daddy came home from his trip, and every morning he loved to count the days we had left.
I was sad about something, and when he saw me with tears in my eyes, he said, "Want to talk, Mommy?"
He pooped on the potty!
We lost lovey at nap time, so we prayed for lovey, and then I was able to find him!
He helped to measure and hammer when we put pictures up at the house.
He was super excited to go and pick up Daddy from the "plane station."
He threw up on the couch, but soon felt better and did not want to stay in bed or eat only crackers.
We had a few very snowy days, so Kyler asked, "Do you want to build a snowman?"
He loved to shovel the driveway and hated to go inside, so we went over and shoveled Grandma and Grandpa's driveway too!
He had fun going to Culver's with family and hanging out with his "friend" (and first cousin, once removed) Kathryn, but he could never remember her name.
He had a great time at his birthday party and did really well thanking everyone.
He had a fun snowy day with Daddy playing on the sled, trying to build a snowman, and coming inside to enjoy hot chocolate and board games.
On his third birthday, Daddy got an unexpected snow day, so we had a fun family day with letter-shaped pancakes, fun outside in the snow, and presents that arrived just in time because of the weather.
We have "I love you" wars, in which we keep saying it back and forth until someone gives up.
He spilled milk at the table and became upset asking me, "Are you mad, Mommy? It was an accident," while he was crying. Poor kiddo.
He saw people kissing on a television commercial and said, "There is Mommy and Daddy."
When asked who his best friend is, he said, "Mommy!"
He had fun watching birds in the backyard with his binoculars.
At his three-year appointment, he was 33.5 lbs and 38 inches tall. As the pediatrician listened to his heart, checked his ears, etc., Kyler wanted the doctor to check his lovey the whole appointment too. It was so sweet to see the doctor do it with him!
At BSF, he often comes home to tell me about the "ten 'mandments" and that, "God lives in a tabernacle, Mommy."
He sat well for his haircut, but did not want to wear the kids cape. He wanted the "black coat" and afterwards told the lady that his hair was "no longer in my eyes now."
At Thanksgiving, he was having fun dancing with KayLynn, Mekinley, and Josie, who were pretending to be princesses, so he told me "I a prince!"
He had a great time helping Daddy and me put up the Christmas decorations on the tree.
When he wants to get out of his room, he will stand at the door and yell "Honey!" for one of us.
He spelled "Michigan" out with puzzle letters, but since he only had one "I," he said he pretended that an "O" was the other one.
