Kyler has not been the easiest child, but I know our hard times with him are not really all that bad. He is a really good kid who wants to make "good choices" but right now dealing with emotions is not something that he has total control over. We have been trying to teach him to take time away, deep breaths and to count to ten or just dance silly to shake off the bad moods. Sometimes we are successful and other times we have LOTS of time outs and tears. I know we are working on life skills right now and that there are no quick fixes, but there are some tough days where mommy takes these skills into practice. Through all these challenges we have had a lot of fun and really great times with these being some of the highlights.
We watched "Puppy Bowl" before the Superbowl and saw this ferret that made Kyler giggle over and over again! He called it a "easel" every time!
Likes to play "Vetch" which to Kyler is a combination of Volleyball and catch done on pillows
Tried doing some kids yoga from You Tube and LOVED IT! Cosmic Kids Yoga...thank you!
Has really wanted to help out around the house and now matches socks for me on laundry days
I love to hear the kids yelling "by Kyler" when he leaves his BSF classroom
Went to "fix some students" when we helped out at the Calvin Pediatric Nursing lab
Went with Daddy to Cabella's and the Mall, but had to have Daddy RUN through the mall to get to a potty because of a code brown, poor Daddy!
Went to Playworld and cleaned up all the lose balls, but would also walk up to strangers to hold their hands and pull them over to help. We might need to work on our stranger danger talks!
Had small group over and his buddy Cohen joined him to watch a movie in our bed.
LOVES Despicable Me movies and especially "banana"
Working on dressing self and almost completely going potty on own!
Love Wippers (Whoppers) as special potty treats
One morning he brought a whole basket of laundry upstairs, what a trooper!
Had his first Little Debbie - heart cakes for Valentine's day
On Sunday mornings he now eats 3 cinnamon rolls...mommy was downgraded to two.
Has been upset and refusing to go to Bible School in the mornings, almost terrified and hysterical. I told his teacher and she said she would pray for him and he gave her a big hug. Next week, no problems at all!
Loved helping me make chicken noodle soup but would not even try it later after being so excited and using alphabet noodles
Watched 1224 Marshalls = 101 Dalmatians with Daddy.
Started to Floss your teeth
Loved to help me sweep and mop the kitchen floors
Came upstairs to tell me that "my eye is runny mommy!"
Really likes to "crunch carrots" for a snack
At Coffee Break became upset when singing "Old MacDonald Had a Farm" and went to sit in the corner all by himself, took a few breaths and then came back to the circle for songs. When I asked him what was the problem. He told me "I wanted to sing Jesus Loves Me, so I tried to calm down."
Had Cohen over for a full day and had a great time jumping in pillows, giggling at lunch and watching movies in a tent/fort but would not say good bye because he was "too sad"
Went to the "hardworking store" with Grandpa and Daddy to get faucet parts
