Tylerisms

I love Tyler. He's not my flesh and blood, but I love him. Usually he can make my day alot happier and add some humor to it, though latley he's been more like an annoying little brother than a son. It must be this whole "almost three" thing he's going through. He doesn't want the responibility of being a big boy, but he doesn't want to be treated like a baby either.

Tyler love, love,loves Firemen. so anything to do with firetrucks, hats, and whatever else he just loves. So for Xmas I got him a fireman playset complete with gas mask, vest, hatchet, walkie-talkie(that of course) works and says like 5 (totally annoying) phrases.



the kid walked around like this for 2 days talking to his "talkie-talkie" and make weird darth vader like sounds in his gas mask. Occasionaly the "talkie-talkie" would be for me or daddy.

I don't where he gets this stuff, but sometimes he just comes off with the funniest stuff, even though we don't always want him to say some of these things, it just cracks us up and we have to hide our faces and choke down our laughs ...you know the drill.

• first theres his thing with singing, which I totally encourage...just not at 7am on saturday morning...He has a Caillou doll that sings the theme song which if you've never heard, count yourself blessed becuase once it's in your head it aint goin nowhere. but if your curious or need to feel my pain click here to listen to it. so he presses the hand and caillou helps sing the song, then dumb ol' caillou has to encourage more pre-dawn singing with "now I want to here you sing my song" so tyler trys to sing most of it but ends up with
  "hm hm hmmmmmmm hm hm hmmmm hm hm hm hmmmmm caiiiiiiilou!"
• then theres Baby beluga seems to be his favorite song right now, but he can only remember the "baaaaby boooooluga oh baaaaaby booooooluga" part as he sings it. he was quite surprised to learn that I indeed knew the whole song, and it it got him laughing pretty good.
• First thing he does when he comes home? Bob the builder.
• Has to talk through EVRY SINGLE MEAL. i mean we must tell him like 15 times during the course of a 5 piece chicken nugget dinner, "no more talking, just eat!" but he talks anyway.
• no matter where he is he HAS ro know what everbody else is doing. from the bathtub we hear "Daddy.....hey daaaaady.....DADDY! whatcha doin'?" from the potty, same thing. we've started putting up the baby gate to his room at night before we go to sleep to that he can't surpise us in the morning with a "whatcha doin'". Private time?! ya right! the kid could be contently watching tv and we'll seek off for a moment, close the door, and not two seconds later theres little hands on the door and a concerned, "hey Juli, whatcha doin' in ner?" Bathroom too..."Daddy? you k? whatcha dooooin?" thank goodness for locks!
• recently hes started talking back but that was comming sooner or later I guess.
• the other day at the grocery store while passing the beer aisle, he says to me, "look juli, daddys soda!"
• I had to walk a couple feet away to put something back on the shelf and saud something to the effect of" i'll be right back baby" to which he firmly stated, "im not the baby anymore!"
• everytime we walkpast baby clothes he says "ooooh look, thats babys stichers clothes huh" or if we go past baby toys or shoes or whatever..it's all for "baby sticher"
• "daddy, daddy look k...es for baby sticher...don't touch, es not yours k?"

oh well....I think the babys first word will be no since we say ti around here so much. i feel bad that we don't say yes enough, but i'ts all about getting straight who the boss is right now, and getting rid of some of his bad habits before the baby comes. Oh hes cute when he's smiling...but when not in front of the camera or asleep, he's hell on wheels!
