The Bebej Blog: Kyler -- December 2016

I love the holidays and it is so special when you get to share it with a kid like Kyler who just sees the wonder in everything. I was able to witness his excitement but also his giving heart too. We had a great time decorating cookies and he loved getting to pick out gifts and make special things for those he loves. Here are a few highlights of the holiday season with this sweet 5 year old!

Has a hard time when people to not want to sit with him or when Devin does not want to hug him when he is picked up from school
Had a great time shopping at the school Love Bazaar with Grandma and he showed off how talkative he is to all that he meet.
Was a huge help decorating spritz cookies
Daddy had a great helper this year putting up outdoor lights
Not good choices up front at church, looked almost like he had pushed a kid down
Kyler loves to help prep candy and cookies, did a great job helping me to unwrap and set up the HUGS and pretzles
At open gym at church did well playing with others and pretending to play "bear cave"
When it was just Kyler and I we had a great time doing a snowball fight. Kyler kept asking how you win and I said "whoever has the most fun!" so he tried to put snow in my pants
Kyler loves to play "real" basketball with Daddy
In school, Kyler is learning about Christmas around the world, including Sinter Claus!
Loves to dance in his car seat to Sleigh ride!
Had so much fun playing with "Nunchucks of Lightening" that I made out of pool noodles
At the Van Dyke party he brought me a plate of treats and did really well picking them out
Kyler loved making star ornaments for his special girls on the Volleyball team
His favorite Holiday Treat is Banket!
Woke up one morning with a green shirt and red pants on saying "Look mom I am Christmas"
Loves to play Alphabetty with Daddy, lots of spelling
One conversation we had, "tripods have three legs but we only have two." When we asked what Duncan had he said, "He only has two the other are his arms."
With the winter weather, Kyler was VERY excited to get to wear his storm-trooper slippers in school
Woke up at 5am with a scary dream about going down the drain in the tub
Did very well at the church and school Christmas concerts
We went to see a very big light show and he loved it! So cool!
Had a great time visiting with Great Grandma and brought her a poinsettia. You also played with a game she had and the ceramic tree that I used to play with too.
Sledding in the backyard is a lot of fun, but once we did go too fast and broke one of our neighbors lights
Santa Tracker was a huge hit and constant excitement for Kyler.
At Christmas he wanted us to open our presents from him first, he really wanted to give!
He bought me a pink yoga mat so that we could do yoga together
Kyler bought Ryan some bungee cords for putting lights up outside (he must have loved doing it)
For Devin, Kyler thought that since he loves music that he would like a musical toy
Kyler was thrilled to get his OWN TABLET!
We made some Ninjabread cookies and they looked pretty cool
Kyler loved getting to play Catan Jr over the holiday break
Had a great time vising in Prineton, seeing Grammy at the library, visiting with Great Grandma Hodge and snuggling with Aunt Britani
Sleep was not easy for Kyler, who said that Devin would wake up and just stare at him while he tried to sleep
Kyler has very good hearing and overheard an adult conversation about a disagreement. Kyler said, "if you hurt someone you really need to say that your sorry."
When Grammy asked Kyler is she should redecorate, he said that she should move her kitchen to the front of the house.
Kyler was pretty excited when I came home from shopping with a tie, he loves to be "spiffy"
