The Bebej Blog: Kyler -- October 2016

October is always so much fun with kids. The weather makes it great to be outside. It is fun to point out all the different colors. We get to go apple picking, play in leaves, choose a pumpkin, trick or treat and enjoy the wonderful donuts at Post Family Farm! I cannot believe that we are already to October again, but as soon as it is gone we get to focus on other fun things too. Here are some great things that we did with Kyler this past October

Kyler still loves to make up Angry Bird games over and over again
In church Kyler is starting to remember the words to the songs and sings along, I love it!
When in front of church the kids were asked where God is, Kyler said in our hearts
We love color by number, and Kyler will go and get his "Clipping board" to deal with them
He had a great time doing show and tell at school.
Kyler continues to have fun at soccer and got to be cheered on by both sets of grandparents.
Grammy taught Kyler a new phrase that we heard for a LONG time "Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner"
Kyler likes to "learn his maths"
Daddy and Kyler game time is always fun to watch and after a game of Ticket to Ride they started to sing She's got a ticket to ride too...another phrase we heard a long time
Kyler wanted a challenge so we did color by numbers with math, and he can do the addition and the subtraction all on his own!
We had a great time going to Crane's to pick apples. Kyler's favorite variety this year was the "Mutsu" and he ate a LOT of apples
Kyler loved getting to go with his Daddy out to see the Calvin Women's volleyball team, and they even got him a shirt too!
We were all sad to see Devin's Early On worker leave when he turned three but Kyler told her that if she ever wanted to come and baby sit him that he would ask us to go out on a date so she could.
Kyler had a lot of fun going to the vet with me and Duncan. He loved getting to hold the cats and it is a lot of fun to see how much he loves animals
For Devin's birthday we had Grammy and Papa in town again. Papa joined Kyler and Daddy at the Volleyball game and it was so sweet of the coach to give you a ball and backpack too! You are their unofficial mascot!
We went out to dinner at Red Robin, and you did really well waiting even if the waiter forgot to take our order.
At Target, you fell in love with the Ninjago costume that was there, so we ordered it secretly even though you thought that you were going to be BobaFet
Kyler showed his really kind heart by helping me walk Devin to his first day of school and then told me it was okay when I cried. He was such a great comfort!
Kyler and I had fun running a few errands together, including getting some skeleton dog lights for Daddy's office!
We made a lot of applesauce and Kyler did a great job of cutting up the apples with me with his kid knifes!
Daddy took Kyler and Devin to the hardware store and there were fire trucks there. Kyler loved showing them off to his brother
We tried to do family pictures and they did not turn out the best but Kyler had a great time running around and being a ham for the camera
After a lot of "I can't" Kyler can now put his shoes on himself
Daddy went out of town for a while, so to make a fun evening, we all had TV dinners! Kyler thought it was pretty special!
Complained about his fingernail hurting and it did get pretty yucky and infected so we had to start soaking it in hot water and give him medicine. We both had to do the same thing at the same time!
Now that Devin is at a different school, we were able to go to his school to trick or treat there! Kyler loved seeing all the costumes and going to get more candy
We did head out to Post Family farm to pick out pumpkins and had to have more donuts. Kyler was really helpful pulling the wagon with Devin and the pumpkins! Strong kiddo
Kyler got to trunk or treat at our church on Saturday and had a great time running around with his cousins and their cousins too!
With a fairly new house we have never had a lot of leaves to jump in. Kyler had a TON of fun going to Grandpa and Grandma's to jump and bury himself into the huge piles of leaves
Daddy got home the day before Halloween so Kyler and him made sure to carve pumpkins into Ninjago characters!
Kyler was so excited and surprised when he got to see his Ninjago costume, he loved wearing it
Kyler again loved going trick or treating with his cousins around the Wiersum's house. He was a bit on the wild side but it was great to see him having so much fun.
