The Bebej Blog: Kyler -- March 2015

Kyler has been so much fun this month, but really the kid is always making my day. He is so funny even when he tries not to be, but one thing that I love most about him is that he is so kind and loves so many people. To Kyler every one is a friend and he always wants to talk or get to know someone. He loves to teach things too, even though Devin may never share his enthusiasm for letters (not many adults would). He has been saying funny things and watching his little mind work always make me so happy. I love who Kyler is becoming and I am always so thankful to be his parent. Here are some of the highlights of this month:

When in his car seat, he told me he hated his ribbons (what he calls his collar of his coat). When I told him that his ribbons are the coat collar, he said "no mommy, collars are not for boys, girls, or grown ups, they are for dogs."
At church when the pastor asked the kids to hold out their hands to receive God’s gift Kyler piped up saying “What is it?” Everyone laughed and it sparked a good talk later
When he was up late one night, he told me in the morning “I cried because I love you mommy!”
Loves his new train puzzle and often likes to call the jaguar the “Jagwater”
When visiting Grandma, said a pink stuffed turtle was a girls toy…already gender roles starting to encroach
Picked up some medicine for Devin, came home and got right next to Devin to say “We got your medicine Dev!” So sweet
When I was not feeling well with a cold, he came to visit me in the bed to tell me he loved me…I love this!
Had a great time going to the butterflies and playing in the snow with his cousins
We planted seeds together and he was so excited to see them grow every morning
Working on drawing lines and circles
During prayer time asked Jesus to help him “Trust and Obey” which he sang at BSF that week
Had a great time at the project neighborhood house with college students and often just makes himself at home in any place.
“I’m a good soccer boy” after playing soccer with Daddy outside
After helping me wash the dog he say “Duncan, we do water, soap and then water, like a pattern.”
Every time he helps us to put groceries away, he always called tomatoes potatoes and vice versa.
Had a fun with Grammy and Papa eating at Rainbow Grill, going to the butterflies, Costco, McDonald’s, Sprinkles donuts, and reading funny books
We had a fun time on a walk and explored some new houses being built
Playing outside, he has been trying to ride his tricycle, but often prefers to just push it around
When we went to visit Grandpa and Grandma Kyler asked if it was the “regular ones?”
When we have a little girl Lily over during the morning, Kyler LOVES to show her different letters
Made me a green noodle necklace at BSF and was so proud to give it to me. The string was too short otherwise I would have loved to wear it proudly!
Had Kyler run next door to return something, and after forgetting to knock he just went right into the house to play (good thing we have great neighbors). When I went to get him, he said “They have a nice house” and then “Watch out for dog bombs mommy!” as we ran across our yard to get inside
Washed his hair and said “I look like Cohen”
Woke up one morning and said to me “Mommy, I really love you”
We played a new game called “find it” where I hid four balls around the room
When I was gone for the weekend, Kyler sent me a sweet message telling me goodnight and that he loved me.
When I brought home a new bin from Ikea, he loved to playing in it. When we asked him to get out he said “But I cannot get out, it says so in my story. Kyler plays in the bins.” Silly boy you sound just like Super why!
Made a very bad choice crossing the street without me which meant we had a long talk. When he told Daddy about his bad choice he told him “Mommy wants to keep me forever so I have to make good choices.” Yes I do honey!
Bedo-Bedo” when we talked about Despicable Me 2 movie
