Growing up...


I'm so proud of Tyler, he is learning so much these days, it's funny to see what he comes up with every day. He has a HUGE imagination, and a hilarious personality. If he's bored he'll pretend his fingers are people, or become a monster/dinosaur...he makes me laugh all the time. He also wants to be part of everything. He wanted to help us build a swing set this weekend and was right there in the middle of it, trying to help, he always has to be on my lap while I nurse Easton, he cooks with me, he cleans with me, and is a very involved little boy. We love our little Tyler boy.

Tyler is awesome at drawing people these days... head first, then 2 eyes, then a mouth, 2 ears, a belly, arms, 2 hands with fingers and a thumb, legs with feet, hair, and then a nose. That's right!

2 1/2 weeks ago we started potty training for the second time. Tyler was partially potty trained and decided he liked his diaper. Well 2 1/2 weeks ago we had a "potty party day" I made cupcakes, we blew out candles, there were a LOT of bribes laying all around the toilet, we had all sorts of sticker charts and pictures...

The day started off great...We opened up all kinds of Undies: Buzz Lightyear, Woody, Cars, Incredibles, Nemo...Then it came time to potty. Talk about learning patience!!! I wanted to pull my hair out and scream and give up as a mother!!! However, after about 3 days...it started to click.

Now he thinks it's fun to potty in different potties, standing up or sitting down. He likes to pee on trees, and he get's so excited to poop that he will go 5-6 times a day (-: We're still working on nap time/sleep time potty.

Tyler's best friend...seriously. One legged BUZZ

Tyler and the Easter Bunny (Grandma Bernie)...YES he is wearing a dress. Grandma has dress ups, and Michele was getting ready for Prom, so Tyler helped get her in the mood.

Tyler does need to work on his Easter Hunt skills... He got about 4 eggs at the community hunt. Good thing for Grandma Ileen, there was much more Easter the following day.
