Ice Cream

Last night we went out to dinner. When we were finished eating, the waiter gave Tyler an ice cream push up. He loved it! We had to stay till every last drop was gone.

Just like Uncle Tom

Most of you know, my brother, Tom is here with us for 3 months while he does his internship. Tyler loves having him here and likes to be just like Uncle Tom. Uncle Tom was working on his laptop, so Tyler got his and checked his e-mail.

I don't have a picture of this one...Uncle Tom was dipping his pizza in ketchup the other night, so Tyler had to do that too. Gross, huh.

nap & bed time

A few months ago, my neighbor was telling me how his daughter has to have 5 or 6 dolls with her when she goes to bed. I told him that Tyler doesn't need anything. He doesn't even like to be covered up. That has all changed! First, he just needed his little and big Curious George and this striped blanket. I don't have to take the blanket with us places if he's going to sleep, he just likes it in his bed. He also likes to be covered up now. Now he also needs his chap sticks-both of them. You can't see them in the picture because he's holding them. He's also holding a light up toy. He has to have the stuffed dog now, his taggie blanket, his water and OJ...today he is also holding a book we read. In the George backpack are his tools. He put them in there and brought it upstairs so Wrigley would not bother them while he took his nap. He also has to have the penguin ball he got for Christmas and it sings Jingle Bells. He likes to have those 2 brushes laying by his bed too. It's always interesting to see what he has to bring with him to sleep.

e-mail

Tyler got this computer from our neighbors for Christmas. He loves it. The games are still a little advanced for him, but he loves just listening to it, pressing the keys and using the mouse. He also likes to take the batteries out. He was playing with it the other day and when I asked him what he was doing, he said, "checking e-mail." I asked if he had any and he said, "no." I asked if he was going to send out any e-mails, and he said, "yea, to Grandpa Chambers and Grandpa Shobe both." He's a cutie!

Pictures

When Tyler and I were in IL, we got some pictures taken. Here they are.
