The Bebej Blog: Kyler -- May 2016

This has been a very busy month with the end of school and the start of summer. Kyler has loved school and made so many great friends and memories. I am so proud of this little kiddo and his love of learning and big heart. We had fun with cousins one weekend and loved going to the Memorial Day parade before going to the pool for the first swim of the season. Kyler always has funny things to say and here are a few more memories from this month

We had Calvin students over and Kyler LOVED showing them all kinds of toys
Playing pretend Angry Birds with his own levels
Made a card for our neighbor so she would feel better

At first Kyler did not want to go on a hike at the Hudsonville Nature Center but later did not want to leave he was having so much fun hiking
At the Walk-a-thon he ran and ran almost the whole time!
Obsessed with Candy Crush and often starts conversations with people by explaining the game. Kyler had to be told a bit about how to properly converse with someone
We found a baby alligator snapping turtle and Kyler loved watching it swim in our tub and later letting it go. He even gave it a nap "Tootie"
Grammy and Papa were here so that Ryan and I could meet our new niece. Kyler kept asking them to sell their house and move to live near us
Loved getting to hear Kyler singing songs in the car, including all the verses of the "Baby Bumble Bee"song.

Kyler can read "Danny and the Dinosaur" all by himself!
Had friend over and after lots of play fighting and imagining, they all thought that they should pee outside! Crazy boys!
We had a sleep over with cousins and Kyler had so much fun staying up late, playing and eating popcorn!
When cousin Sully was here, he wanted so badly to watch anything that Kyler was doing and Kyler thought it was so cute and kept giving him toys to play with
We started to read Charlotte's Web together at nap time

Had a great time at the school picnic, with lots of kids wanting to sit next to him at snack and later enjoying pretend American Ninja Warrior on the playground. This kid also loves to hug his friends and teachers
Kyler and I had fun going to see Angry Birds the movie together and boy can he eat lots of popcorn
During summer we changed bedtimes so that Kyler is now going to bed at 8:30
Loved to do little chores to earn "monies" for his piggy bank
At the Memorial Day parade had fun waving at everyone but we had to explain to him that he could just not ask for candy every time a float went by. Loved getting into the pool and even though he was hesitant, he did start to jump off the diving board.
