A little glimpse of Tyler


I figured it was about time to update our blog. Especially since the kids are, oh, 6 months older than they were last time I posted! Oh well, I will freely admit that I am a work in progress, and this is just another area that can only improve! For the next few days, I'll try to post something about each of the kids.

Today I thought I'd post a picture from a couple of weeks ago of me and Tyler. He has always been my active child, with endless energy and a very creative imagination. He comes up with unique things that crack us all up each day. He's only 3, but has the spirit of a much older child!! Yesterday he announced to me that I needed to find a school for him next year so he doesn't get bored. He also watched Meghan have a crisis a few days ago, and asked me, "Why do girls always have cows?" Our house would be much quieter and much less exciting without him!

Tyler has been in pre-school 2 days a week since January. He loves school and loves thinking he is as big as his older brother. His teacher and primary teacher tell me what a great child he is and what a pleasure he is to teach - and how obedient he is. This never ceases to amaze me. At home he is constantly into EVERYTHING! I don't think my mom really believed me until she spent a week with him in November. If he wants something or wants to do something, he finds a way. Whether that means climbing up INTO my upper cabinets in the kitchen to get a treat (he is a candy hound and can find it anywhere it's hidden in the house) or tying a blanket around his neck and jumping off anything he can find while announcing he is a superhero that can fly and will catch all the bad guys. But the best part of having Tyler as my youngest is that he loves to climb up on my lap or lay on my bed and watch shows with me. He gives the best little hugs and always makes us all feel happy.
