So I love my little 3 1/2 year old, but I need to document some of his personality so we can laugh about it later. Tyler likes to have things his own way, just like any 3 year old. Every morning he asks to say our family prayer- this isn't so much a bad thing but we have a prayer wheel so that everyone gets a turn. He pulls his morning fit and whines and he usually says his own prayer after whoever's turn it was. Tyler and Damon constantly fight over toys. They both want whatever the other one has. Tyler really struggles with waiting for his turn. The other day we were riding bikes at the church and Tyler wanted to ride. It was Damon's turn and Tyler was pulling a fit and trying to push Damon off the bike. I tried to take him to time-out but he is getting too strong for me to hold. So by the time we got back to the bike Damon had gotten off - good right? no, didn't help. Tyler still was screaming his head off, don't ask me why - he got what he wanted right? Anyway, we left the church and went for a drive - about 20 min. later Tyler finally calmed down. I don't know why he has such a hard time calming down - whew, that was a trying afternoon.Tyler can be super silly and super sweet too. He says "I love you mom" at least 10 times a day for no apparent reason. He had fun making faces this day:
Another story about yesterday. This is a thanksgiving decoration that I put up. I wondered about the suckers, but told the boys we could eat them later and that we would just look at them right now. Well, of course Tyler kept asking about them - so I decided that I would put them away. I forgot. During quiet time Damon asked me where did all the suckers go? I was a little shocked. What did Tyler do with them? Of course he ate them. We saw a nice little pile of sticks and wrappers in the garbage can. Tyler was asleep at time so I decided that I wouldn't say anything until he asked for some more candy. Then it would be 'so sad,' he wouldn't get any more candy because he ate all the suckers without asking. Damon sort of ruined this plan by being the 'mom' ahead of me, but Tyler did say he was sorry and didn't have any other candy that day. I wasn't too upset, it really was funny - of course a kid is going to eat candy if it's sitting right in front of him. At least they were small suckers :)Before:

One last thing about Tyler, he is more particular about his clothes than Damon. He still thinks it's summer and wears shorts all the time ( with or without a shirt). I will usually get him dressed in the morning in pants and a long-sleeve shirt or sweatshirt, but when we get home he finds his favorite red shorts and red shirt and puts on his red boots when we have to go outside. He cracks me up sometimes. He also doesn't like his picture taken right now, as you can see from this look:
So that's a little bit about our lovable, adorable, cuddly, cute little Tyler.
