Kyler -- June 2015

The summer is here and we are finally getting to spend more time outside and in the pool. Later this month I had knee surgery so Kyler was with lot of people who were helping us out watching him. I think that Ky has really enjoyed all the excitement, but seeing how he behaves without a nap makes me think that he still needs a little rest time so that he can make good choices in the afternoon. Here are a few highlights from this past month.

  • Tried some rice I made and said "This is not good mommy." Guess I have a food critic in the house
  • Has been giving names to objects. Today his wagons name was "Chalky"
  • We have started to explain privacy to him while we go to the bathroom. Today he could not figure out why I was not standing up. I told him I did not have a penis and he yelled horrified "you pee out of your butt?!"
  • Had a great time going to the farmer's market for the first time and brought Grandma a lilac
  • We played in the kiddie pool out back but then he decided to roll around in the sand...total mess but such a great smile
  • When he had a bit of a stuffy nose he was upset because "I can't sniff my Lovey Mommy!"
  • Has started to become obsessed with Wheel of Fortune
  • Had a friend Clara over today to play and Kyler LOVED to help and play under the playmat with her
  • While on a walk with Grandpa and Grandma he said that one of the construction guys "He is the Man" to which he said, "only my wife thinks that."
  • Had a fun time trading and sharing toys with Charles down the street
  • Had fun exploring the Hudsonville Nature Center and telling me anytime we saw a map. He also loved to figure out where we were on the map.
  • Has been taking lots of pictures with his camera, most of them are pretty blurry but he still has fun with it
  • We got a new van and it has directions on it, so now Kyler always asks what direction we are going and he tells us when the letters change (N for North etc)
  • We had a great and pretty warm time visiting our friends the Triplets, it has been too long!
  • Kyler was so excited to sign up for the summer reading program at the library and has had NO problem with getting the right amount of reading in each day
  • Picked out the Superman PEZ dispenser and when I asked why he picked it out he said "Because Superman is the Man!"
  • While scooping out dessert for Father's Day he LICKED the top of the ice cream carton! Crazy!
  •  There was no Little Lambs at church but Kyler sat in the 3:18 room with us and colored really well!
  • Kyler has become really good at his balance bike and is already starting to get too tall for it, new bike might be in the horizon.
  • Woke up telling me he did not feel well and threw up all over our bed. Poor kid was laying around all morning
  • Ben and Kellie came to visit and Kyler had a great time playing, eating ice cream and running around outside 
  • Had fun with Grammy, Papa, Parker and Chase here for the weekend and loved eating out at Tom + Chee before going to the Slip and Slide and Epilepsy walk at the zoo.
  • Swimming is becoming one of his favorite things of all times! He blows bubbles, jumps in from the deep end off the diving board and has gone under a few times with minimal tears. 
  • Found Star Wars ABCs and 123s, which he soon memorized and later started to watch with Daddy
  • "I love Aunt Lori, she smells like strawberries."
  • After I had surgery he must have heard Ryan saying "let me know if you need anything" so when meeting a little old lady at the store he asked her the same thing.
  • While at the pool, had a great time with Uncle Darrel swimming and wanted to make sure he ate dinner
  • Had fun with Grandpa and Grandma on different days while I was healing and had fun watching the cement being poured for their new deck.
