Winnie The Pooh and The Great Escape

Tyler has been on a roll this week. Last weekend he came out of Ryan's room with one of the few things that is Ryan's and has always been Ryan's... Winnie The Pooh. Tyler held him up and said "Mama, I don't think Ryan likes this because his name is kind of stinky." Nice try Ty, "Poo" is Ryan's and you can't have him! Hopefully that is as close as we'll get to potty humor for a long time!

Later that day Tyler had been told to dress himself so that we could go out for the day. Tyler was stalling, as usual, so Dan and I were encouraging him by saying he had better hurry up or we were going to leave without him. In true Tyler style, he quipped back "Have you ever seen a little boy home alone while his mommy and daddy go out shopping? No, I don't think so!!" Well, he's right, this little boy would never be left alone. Bluff called.

We enjoy him thoroughly. He is a great kid. This morning Tyler completed his first real homework assignment. Last year he had to fill the Letter Can with items starting with a certain letter, but this is an actual paper and pencil assignment! He completed it with enthusiasm and pride. Only 13 more years of homework to go...

I had to share this picture of the boys together. I think it pretty much tells it's own story. They really enjoy each other.

This picture makes me smile as well. Poor Ryan was so tuckered that he just laid down in the living room and drifted off...

Ryan is really close to crawling. He wants to move so bad. Luckily at school he has access to a walker and yesterday he attempted to escape! We are told that the gate was off the door briefly and within seconds Ryan made a break for it! Off he went, legs running... head swinging... laughing... he made it through the door, but his intentions of cruising the hallways were thwarted... oh well, maybe next time...
