More Tyler Funnies

Man, if I don't write these down, I'm gonna forget. And then he'll be 15 and I'll have no stories to tell him :) Tyler has been so funny lately!

Today we were on a walk with the double stroller. I stopped to write a text to my neighbor and Tyler climbed out of his seat and told me he wanted to run. So he ran on the sidewalk next to me for a good 3 or 4 blocks! I told him to tell me when he was tired and he could get back in. He said "I tired bamorrow". I laughed and said, "yes, you will be tired tomorrow!" Then he kept telling me, "I almost tired" and when his cheeks were red and sweaty, he finally climbed back in his seat!

The other day I was sitting on the couch and got up to do something. I went right back to my seat and Tyler sat in my spot to be funny. I giggled and sat on top of him and said, "Wait a minute, that's not a pillow. It's not soft!" He said, "Mom, I have bones!" He loves watching the Curious George goes to the Doctor episode where the kids trace their bodies and then draw in bones.

One evening I asked Tyler what he wanted for dinner. I gave him a few chioces, "Macaroni and Cheese, soup, or corndogs?" He got really excited and said "Macaroni and Cheese Soup!" Haha. Those are his 2 favorite meals! I laughed and said, "No just plain Macaroni and Cheese." Then he got even more excited and said, "playin' with it, like playin' toys?"

Last week it was a beautiful day so I decided to walk the outdoor strip of stores from Hobby Lobby to Tom Thumb. Usually I drive if I need to do both stores, but this day was just too nice. In between, there are all kinds of stores like Staples, Petco and Bath & Body Works to tanning and clothing shops. When we passed the clothing store, he took one look at the headless manikins and yelled "Oh, his head broke!"  It must have been traumatizing for him to see, because he just kept talking about it, saying "His head fell off" and "His have no head". Oh, and they were girl manikins :) But everyone is a he/his!

Today Tyler took a late 5:00 nap. I hate it when he wont take a nap, falls asleep so late, and it makes him stay up really late. So I called Jeff to see if he would swim with him when he got home. He texted me to tell Tyler they could go night swimming and it would be fun. I told him, "Daddy said he would take you night swimming when it's dark outside" He thought for a minute and said, "Night swimming? Like this..." and put his head sideways, on his shoulder, closed his eyes and pretended to snore.

Tyler is TOO funny! What a ham, I love the "night swimming" because Makayla has just learned how to pretend snore! Cracks me up!
Great job writing these down, it's so funny the things you think you will remember forever because they are so funny, are forgotten the next day!
You are such a great mom! Your kids are going to appreciate all of the extra hard work you have put in to raising them. The little preschool you have set up, the sewing you do for everyone on the side. How big your heart is! THey are so lucky to have a mom like you, and I am so glad you document it all so well too!
