Big

Tyler is growing up so fast! He is just about 2 1/2 and he has decided he is really a "Big Boy". Two weeks ago we took down his crib and moved him into his big bed. He LOVES this bed! The truck bedding helps, but he is really happy to cozy in with his blankets and pillow. He likes to snuggle in for a while here and there throughout the day. Today he wanted to dress up like a train engineer all day. At Fred Meyer, the lady at the check-out line asked him if he was a train engineer. He opened his eyes so wide and gave her a big "she knows I'm an engineer" smile. :) He went down for his nap with his hat on. He ended up cuddling with it.



Ty has deemed himself too big for his booster seat at the kitchen table and too big for his bibs and too big for his diapers. He tried to ban the car seat, but I held my ground. We are into potty training, but he really just wants to hop on and off and flush the toilet 20 times. He is talking up a storm (I love this!) and he loves to sing the ABC's.

Tyler has to be just like his big brother. He wears his Lightening McQueen backpack to see Justin on/off the school bus. He likes to run errands with me during the day and cries when we drive home. Ty loves to "Help, too!" when I'm making dinner. He's getting really good at setting the table, too, by color-coordinating the dishes. He says, "Let go of me" and "Mom do it" one hundred times a day. I don't know whether to help him or not. :)

I am happy to see him excited about trying new things. I love that he says, "Thanks Mom" and "Big Hug". This afternoon when I was tucking him in bed for his nap, he said, "I'm thinkin' 'bout song." He started singing "Jingle Bells". I didn't know he knew this song. Later I found out that Travis sings it to him all the time to put him to bed. It was a cute little surprise to hear him singing away! I love this boy!
