Kyler has official become a 3 and a HALF year old. He has been such a helpful and fun kiddo. One thing that has become very apparent this month is that he is a very encouraging kiddo. He rode Sandy at Meijer and actually told her, "you are doing great!" and when we saw a caterpillar in the parking lot he was telling it, "keep going little guy." The best encouragement was around Memorial day when he was playing catch with Great Grandma Van Dyke and she mentioned that she couldn't do it so he said "just keep trying Grandma, you can do it." Even with all the encouragement though, he does have times when he is really difficult and can be very stubborn. He does not always listen and when he is asked to do things he can be very stubborn and will refuse, shout and run to "calm down."
Here are a few other highlights from the month:
Loves to build towers with his brother and it is so cute to see them sharing
Went to a Calvin softball game and enjoyed an ice cream time with Daddy afterwards.
At church the little kids were singing and before they finished, Kyler stepped forward and said into the microphone "How about we sing Deep and Wide?"
Had a fun time with students here and when he came up from his nap, he kept asking where the students were.
Helped me to plant the flowers we grew from seeds back in February and has loved helping me water them and pointing out the colorful flowers that bloom
Loves to make letters out of his noodles from his soup
When he walked home without me and he knew he was not supposed to go that far from me, he hid in the CR-V because he knew he was making a bad choice
When he came home from running errands with Daddy, he got really upset and started crying because he could not find me in the house
Had a great time with family visiting and had so much fun with the book from Grammy and Papa (The Book with No Pictures).
We had a great time heading out and getting fresh donuts before visiting goats and even a horse at the Post Family Farm
Still loves to wash his cars in the sink
His appetite is often high and low, eating not much and then 3 bowls of cereal for breakfast
Has loved going on walks and actually walking Duncan when we are on the sidewalk. He does a really good job and it is so fun to watch him and Duncan jogging down the sidewalk together
He has discovered how much fun to blow/pick off dandelion seeds.
We had a lot of fun discovering animals like a toad which peed on me so he did not want to touch it and a chipmunk that we fed peanuts by our slider.
We took the kiddie pool out and he loved to splash and use the slide even though it was cold.
After having a total melt down outside and turning around after a walk, he went to calm down in his room and when I went to talk to him, found him already asleep at 11:30.
Has loved to paint lately and has been working on writing/painting all of his letters!
Enjoyed riding his balance bike with his Daddy and checking out all of the drains
Went with Ryan out to Calvin to watch a Chemistry demonstration and later going to Yesterdog for the first time
Ryan buried dinosaurs in his sandbox and he had a great time "digging" them up
Had a great time playing in a sprinkler in the front yard
We had so much fun at the Memorial day parade and often shouted "please give me candy."
After filling out paperwork, we went to deliver it to his new school and he was just so excited!
We tried out the splash pad for the first time and he had so much fun running around and enjoying the water
Went to his first birthday party for a friend
Helped me to plant our vegetables in the garden after picking them out
Had a great time playing hide and seek in a huge diaper box, always the best toys!

Loves his Daddy
