I am finding that Kyler is doing more and more that I seem to deem "blogworthy" each month. He has a great imagination and it is so much fun to see and hear what he is thinking up. This month was a time where 3 out of the 4 of us had Strep, we drove to Princeton for Thanksgiving and we had two birthday boys! I cannot believe that Kyler is 4 already, it just seems like yesterday that I was snuggling with him on the couch sleeping on my chest. So here are a few of the highlights from this past month:
We had leftover glow sticks from Halloween, so we turned of the lights and he played with them in the tub...light saber noises included
Kyler loves to go to Home Depot and he was really helpful trying to help carry boards to the car with me
We have been enjoying the nice warm weather while we still have it, and Kyler has been getting better and better at his peddle bike
I had a hard time hearing that at school he said that kids were throwing wood chips at him, but when I asked him if he was throwing them too, he said he was...oh kid.
After a long walk in the park I saw that he had been wearing his shoes on the wrong feet since school (he had taken them off when he was not supposed to)
Loves to tell Devin things, and likes to point out traffic lights to his brother
We had a great time picking up McDonalds for a picnic and later playing at Rosewood park with cousins after BSF
Kyler makes new friends at the playground and soon him and a boy close to his age were running around pretending to be ninjas on the playground
Loves to tell me things he learns at school "Did you know that a squirrel's teeth never stop growing?"
Often likes to take a stick to pretend it is a light saber to battle milkweed plants on our walks
When we were watching a movie and I asked if it was going to be scary, Kyler told me, "Don't worry mommy, I will protect you."
After grocery shopping he often pretends to do it himself with the shopping cart downstairs
We are working on snaps and zippers with clothes
Kyler works well out in the yard and helped me pull up all the hosta for the winter
At church there was no Children's Worship and we forgot things to keep him busy, so he just played games on Ryan's phone the whole time
We had our first communion at church and Kyler did really well going up there
When I was really sick, he would often come into my room to check how I was feeling
In the morning I was taking a shower, but Kyler waited to pee because he did not want me to "have hot water when he flushed" (He listens to everything)
At his schools yellow day, he took the "slippery when wet" sign from Devin's play janitor cart
Kyler was diagnosed with rectal strep and a few days later his face puffed up like a chipmunk! The doctor said it was just allergies, but I wonder if it was the antibiotic.
Daddy became a hero when he found and downloaded Angry Birds Star Wars on the ipad
Kyler made a family of dolphins with play-doh naming them Light Saber, Play-Doh, Played, Crayon and the dog was Remote. Strange names for animals
Loves to play a game where he finds something in the play room that begins with letters of the alphabet and for the letter "K" he brought me a goat for "kid"
Has become very good at drawing himself and playing the game of memory
For his 4th birthday we had a great time going out for dinner at Tom + Chee where he got a donut grilled cheese with a candle
At school, for his birthday he got a fun crown and to pick something from the prize box. Kyler picked out a ring with pretend diamonds on it for me because he thought I would like it, rather than anything for himself.
Kyler loves to help me bake, and he did a great job working on his Daddy's cheesecake
One of Kyler's favorite foods are Cheese Kurlz, and his fingers turn orange enough to prove it
Kyler was such a great help putting up the Christmas tree this year and wanted to put ALL the decorations on at once.
We put Christmas lights up in his room this year and he told me that "I think that I can handle this" right before saying "I am not that interested in this"
After the first snow, he walked around with Ryan trying to see if the snow tasted different in any of the yards
At the doctor's office, he told the nurse that he was "obsessed with ipad" and due to his reading and language, they believe that his IQ is around 160 or higher...yikes
After visiting with the doctor, Kyler got upset because "I miss him" and told the nurse that he wanted to say "Happy Thanksgiving" to him. The nurse took him back there just to say it to the doctor, how sweet!
Did really well traveling all the way to Princeton on Thanksgiving Day and loved getting to spend time with his cousins.
Had so much fun eating lunch with the Krieger family that he had almost the whole restaurant in tears when he asked why Uncle Dave was old?
Has already begun to drive his own Mario Kart Wii car
We had a great time decorating spritz cookies for Christmas and watching a new favorite movie Wall-E.
