Tyler's first swimming class!

For Hunnukah Dona and Harvey got Tyler swimming lessons(Thank you so much!). So last Thursday was Tyler's first swimming class! He loved it! We had miss shay as a teacher and she was really nice and good with Tyler but she is leaving so from now on we will have miss sarah who is also very nice and good with Tyler. Miss shay was surprised that he wasn't crying because usually they cry their first time. Well he did kinda cry at the end after diving to the bottom of the pool to get the rings, which according to miss shay kids dont do on the first day. She tuaght him to do 1, 2, 3, bubbles and now Tyler does it non stop in his bath tub. When we were driving to swim class today I told him where we were going and he got so excited. I'm so happy that he enjoys the classes so much! Here are some videos of Tyler at swim class...

        

Thanksgiving

This year we had Thanksgiving at our house and it was tons of fun! For most of he time everyone played rockband upstairs and Tyler loved it! He kept putting the guitar on and playing the drums. When we were all down stairs Tyler kept sneaking back up stairs to play the drums. It was so cute! Tyler even got Papa to play ring around the rosie!

                                            

Tyler's Big Boy Room

Yesterday we changed Tyler's room into Tyler's big boy room! As most of you know Tyler loves animals! Some of his favorite animals are bears, lions, monkeys and elephants and so I was happy to find this bedding with all the wild animals. He helped Daddy put his bed together and then left so that Mommy could put everything together. When I was finally done I took him in his room and he saw all the animals and kept say wow, wow and got on his bed and started jumping. Then he started to make all the animal noises, he loved it! We kept his crib in the room so that he could choose what he wanted to sleep in. When it came time for nap time we read books and I asked him do you want to go night, night in your crib or your big boy bed. He walked over to the crib and looked at it and then pointed to the bed and ran over. So I put him in and tucked him in and said good night and left the room. As soon as I walked out he started to pretend snore. I listened at the monitor to see what he was going to do. I didn't hear anything for about ten minutes and then I heard him get out of bed. He started playing with the door stopper and something else(I could only hear some noise) and then it was quite. I don't know if he fell asleep on the bed or the floor but he went to sleep. Then at bed time we asked him where he wanted to sleep and he picked the big boy bed again. This time we left and I heard no noise at all. After two hours passed I knew he was in his deep sleep and so I opened the door to see if he was on his bed. At first I didn't see him but then saw a big lump in the bed. He was all the way under the covers and the pillow was on his head! I could hear him breathing so it was ok but it was so cute!

Tyler's cute haircut

 Tyler and Cole went to go get their haircut. Of course all they wanted to do is play with the train set. When the lady was finished cutting Tyler's hair she said oh it would look cute if we spiked the front, so she did it and it looked so cute! It was a pain to do at home but we wore it like that for a couple of days to show our friends the new haircut.

A little late....

If you remember in an earlier blog I said Tyler hated his devil costume so I went and bought a pirate costume that he loved. We wore it for a bit and then I took it off him and he ran and got his devil costume so I put him in it and he didn't want to take it off. Good thing we had so many halloween parties to go to, we got to switch off.

When we went trick or treating he was so excited because he got to be with his friend Cole. They were laughing and being crazy together. Tyler really didn't get the whole trick or treating, he would ring the door bell and then try to go inside. He got really mad at me because I wasn't letting him go inside. So he was in a mood, but then we saw two dalmatians(101 Dalmatians is his favorite movie and we watch it ALL the time) and he got so excited. We went and pet them and then Tyler was out of his bad mood. 

When people told Tyler and Cole to take one and held it for them to choose, Cole would take one and Tyler would try to take as many that would fit in his hand.

We had so much fun this Halloween and can't wait until next year!

Dewberry Farm

Today we went to Dewberry Farm. Tyler had so much fun! He got to feed goats, go down slides, climb haystacks, jump on a bouncy thing, see a whole bunch of animals, go through a corn maze and pick out a pumpkin! He was so excited at the pumpkin patch, he was running to all the pumpkins. He picked out a 20lb pumpkin to take home, of course Daddy had to help him pick it up. Before we left we had to get some kettle korn and now Tyler's new favorite snack is kettle korn, yummy!

"SLEEPING"

  

I dont know where Tyler learned this but recently when I put him down for a nap or to sleep for the night he lays down and snores and pretends to be sleeping. It's so cute and I finally got it on video! I think he must have learned when he was watching TV with daddy and daddy fell asleep(daddy snores!), I'm sure it has happened more than once.

First Day of School!

A lot of Tyler's friends have started school so a few of us said we are going to have "school" at home and teach the kids stuff. Well today was Tylers first day of school and he loved it. We learned about the letter A, the color red, the shape circle and the number 1. He loved painting with the red paint! We had Apples for a snack(since apples starts with the letter A) read books about the letter A, Apples numbers and shapes. We did puzzles and picture searches. After school was over we meet cole at the park and played and got really dirty and wet. Then we went for lunch at El Jarrito and Tyler and cole played in their play area. It has sand so when it came time to eat lunch they were covered in sand! Then we went straight home, took a bath and took a nap. He had a wonderful first day of school. Here are some pictures of Tyler at school and some of his art work he did today.

Animals

Yesterday we went to the zoo with some friends. It's so cute, now that Tyler is older and not sleeping in his stroller while I walk the zoo, he points to the animals and makes their noise. He knows all the animals. Here is a video of some of his animal noises.

He just learned the snake and bee sound the other day.   Apparently the daddy lion just ate a caribou. If you didn't hear I asked him what the daddy lion says and he did his burping noise, obviously he hears daddy burp way to much!

Booo, booo

Tyler is all over the places these days and falling left and right. Since the weather has been so beautiful lately we went to the park everyday this week after nap time and everyday he has fallen on his knee. Poor Tyler, there was blood and everything. He points to his knee and says boooo, boooo in a whining voice it's so cute!!! And he will tell anyone who will listen about his booo, boooo.

Tyler is a devil!

I bought this cute little devil costume for Tyler. When I got in in the mail I opened it up right away and put it on Tyler. It was so CUTE on him, but he hates it! He keeps tugging at it and wants it off. I keep putting it on him so that he can get used to it but he keeps pulling at it and crying! I'm going to have to go buy him another costume now :(

Who needs a towel when you have a dryer!

After Tyler went swimming, Donna was doing laundry and left the dryer door open. Tyler then ran to the dryer and tried to get in. I guess he was just trying to get dry.

Swiming

 Tyler loves the water. He was swiming back in forth all day long. Before we could even grab him and give him a little break he was already throwing himself back to the other person. Tyler got a little creative and started to do a little dance before he jumped into to the pool and of course he fell, but that didn't stop him he kept jumping! He would even jump when you wern't looking. I have been trying to teach him to say 1, 2, 3 mama if he wants to jump to me(he loves to jump off the couch to me when I'm not paying attention) and he will actually say doo(For two) mama and thats it.

OOO I LOVE YOU!

Awhile ago Tyler got into my stamps and started to stamp his whole body. He had ink every where, himself and the carpet. It was hard not to get mad at him because he was so cute. I didn't care that he had it all over him it washed off easy, but the carpet was a different story. He kept pointing to the monkey stamp and making monkey noises.

One of Tyler's favorite books is Snuggle Puppy. It's the cutest book, well it's more of a love song they call it. you give lots of  kisses and Tyler always looks up at me for kiss at the part where you are suppose to give a kiss. Now he sits with the book and reads it. He repeats OOO I love you over and over again. It's like he is reading it and he even gets the words right!

Mommy's Little Helper

The other day we went to Toys R Us to stock up on toys for all of Tyler's friends birthday parties. We brought Daddy along so the boys could go play and I could actually be productive and shop. Since Tyler was such a good boy he got a toy too. I decided to buy him a vacuum cleaner so that he could vacuum with me. He usually helps me vacuum, I push it and Tyler is on the other side trying to push back so the vacuum doesn't really move. When I told Brian I was going to buy him a vacuum he said, a vacuum thats not fun, but let me tell you it's one of his favorite toys. When I say it's time to vacuum he runs to the closet and we both get our vacuums out. He helps me unwind my cord and then he goes to his vacuum and pushes the on button(it has a light and makes the vacuum noise). He is so cute he really thinks he is vacuuming and loves to do it. When we are done he puts his vacuum right next to mommy's vacuum in the closet. He is so helpful. So now I guess I need to buy him an ironing board and iron so I could iron in peace!
