The Bebej Blog: Kyler -- October 2015

Kyler is growing up to be such a sweet boy, and there have been many times that he has said things to me over this month that just make my heart swell with wonder and praise of this little blessing. He is so thoughtful and always thinking about others which I think is pretty rare for an almost 4 year old. He has so much fun and excitement for life that there are times I wonder how he contains it all. Here are some of the fun things that have happened with him over the month.

He loves to go out and get them mail all by himself (I usually watch from the porch)
Love to collect things on walks, often having a great imagination and ideas
Had so much fun picking apples with Grammy and Papa, even eating them too!
Loves to play with light sabers, our toys from back when we got married!
I made chili and he said it was too spicy...sure enough it was REALLY spicy!
One day I was reading after Devin went to bed and he was playing with Daddy. Kyler walks in and brings me my water bottle "just in case you get thirsty mommy," with no prompting at all
Loves to pretend with his cars that they are going to Bible School
Had fun going on his field trip to the Post Family Farm with Daddy and his class
While I put Devin down for a nap, he picked up all the toys on his own without being asked
Had a great time going to the Calvin women's volleyball game and kept saying "you can do it guys."
After one BSF class, he told me that "Jesus is going to come back in the clouds"
While Devin was fussy I asked what Kyler wanted to watch on television and he said "lets watch something that Devin will like"
"I miss them" whenever our neighbors leave or when they move away
Aunt Sharon came by to visit and Kyler sat in her lap and asked her if she missed her husband Dwayne who had passed away.
I was going to put my hair in a ponytail to go to the store and Kyler told me, "mommy, you look pretty just the way you are. I like your hair down."
We had a lot of fun planting tulip bulbs in the front yard together
He LOVES to jump in mud puddles
We found a Woolly Bear caterpillar and had so much fun watching him in his bug cage (and brought it to school for orange day)
Kyler is such a helper, making sure his brother does not trip when going in and out of the slider to the deck
Makes shapes out of pretzels and when I asked if it was an "n" or a "u" he said, no mommy it is pi!
At family pictures he was having so much fun and being a total clown
While eating out at the Chinese restaurant, him and his cousins kept singing "Gotta try new food cuz it might taste good!" from Daniel Tiger's neighborhood.
At the Ubran Hay Day, we had a great time petting animals, riding the hay rides and playing games for small prizes and candy
At school he often tells his teachers"I miss my mommy, but when I go home I miss all of you"
We love to go for walks outside and at Hagar Park after a busy school day, Kyler loves to pretend to have a light saber stick and attacks all kinds of "bad guys" but one day we were actually able to see a deer in the woods...Kyler has never been so quiet!
I was crying in the car and Kyler said "I am sad for you, but I will always love you mommy."
Kyler is becoming a really good artist and making pretty good pictures of people with sidewalk chalk
Had a great time going to Boo at the Zoo, with Ky dressed as a storm-trooper, even though he was a little scared of the Darth Vader there
Kyler helped me to carve his first pumpkin!
He was really helpful when it comes to making cookies, prepping applesauce or anything in the kitchen that I let him help me with
Kyler is actually able to read parts of his Ranger Rick Jr magazines and his Clubhouse Jr mag
Loved helping me to pick out cookies at Ida's pastry shop for people to show them that we care about them
Had so much fun taking Great Grandma Van Dyke to his classroom's Fall Festival. Afterwards they were so cute joking about decorating the cookies together
Kyler told me that we are like pumpkins and that Jesus "takes out all the yucky stuff in our tummy called sin."
Had a terrible fever and very sick for Halloween. After perking up we had a great time trick or treating in the neighborhood and then later with cousins in the rain.
