Lets start with the good: Tyler got a new set of tubes (2/2013), which was a piece of cake. Mommy was thankful for an easy, breezy surgery. Tyler is now 26 months old. His speech is amazing! He has over 50 words and we have stopped counting. He repeats us, even the bad words!! He is currently attending speech therapy and progressing very nicely. He is totally in line with his milestones, and probably a little further ahead than his sisters were at 26 months. He uses sissors correctly, colors (all lefthanded!), motors around on riding toys, climbs ladders and slides. He helps himself to snacks in the fridge. He is nearly 100% potty trained, a full year before his sister Lexi was at this age!
Now for the bad..... lets start with sleep! He is still yet to sleep thru the night consistantly! We are exhausted from his horrible habits! He is still yet to drink from a straw, making clean drinking a challenge. Tyler is a typical boy, loves toilets, water, dirt, throwing things, hitting, kicking. He is a master of laying himself down on the floor to prove a point. He is figuring out how to use his upper jaw teeth, and of course tasting skin with them!!! He writes on walls with sharpies, dumps toy buckets just to see them fall, and eats dog food. He has so many wonderful traits I can hardly them all!!!
There isn't a day that goes by that he doesn't make us laugh by is crazy antics. We argue everyday whether he is mom's boy or "my dad's" as he frequently answers. He has this goofy personality that is the life of our house. His newest love is tractors or trucks with removeable trailers, and in his eyes, they all should be compatible or let the fits begin!!! He is loving the planting season around our rural home. "Big Trucks" are everywhere!!! He stands in the yard with his purple painted toe nails waving to all the equiptment driving down the roads or in the surrounding fields. Tyler is forever keeping us on our toes and showing us how to enjoy every moment of life!! Even a simple thing like taking a bath is very enjoyable,, especially if you are taking cup fulls of water and letting them flow all the way down to the basement!!! We love our Tyler :)
remember
