Tylerisms

No pictures today, just a few Tyler stories:

A few weeks ago, we picked Tyler up from Sunday School.  He was playing with a baby doll when we got there.
Jason: "What were you playing with the baby doll?"
Tyler: "Diaper change!"
Me: "Are you going to change the baby's diapers when it gets here?"
Tyler (emphatically): "YES!"
Me: "Even the stinky diapers?"
Tyler: "Eww, that's stinky!"



Jason's parents came to visit a few weeks ago.  Since then, whenever Tyler is whining or gets "hurt" (as in, falls, but could in no way possible be hurt), he'll whine and say "Uhhhh, Nana, PawPaw."  We mostly ignored this.  Now, he throws in the other grandparents for good measure: "Uhhhh, Nana, PawPaw, Grandma, Pa."

It's gone from cute to mildly amusing to annoying.  This morning (after he was throwing a fit about brushing his teeth), the words "They can't help you now" and "No one can hear you scream" may have come from my mouth.



We always used to listen to Caspar Babypants in the car.  Recently, Jason told me that he and Tyler had listened to "Daddy music" on the way home from school.  Since then, Tyler has been requesting Daddy music instead of his own.  Thank goodness, because I couldn't handle hearing those songs one. more. time.

I picked Tyler up from school the other day, so we listened to Mama music on the way home.  That music happened to be the Ting Tings.  Tyler LOVED IT.  He likes to sing the "Drum Song" (Great DJ).

The drums part is in the chorus, starting at about 1 minute.


His personal favorite (and mine, too) is "That's Not My Name."  He finds this hilarious, and at any point, we can say to him "That's not my name!" and he'll giggle and say it back to us.


My kid, Ting Tings fan.  I'm so proud!

Guys

I've talked about Tyler's guys before.  Seriously, best $5 ever.  When we're visiting family or going somewhere where I need to pack entertainment for him, the guys go with us every time.

He likes to stack the heads, switch hats/heads/bodies, and line them up in a row.  I can't really figure out why they're so fascinating to him, but I'll take it!  My favorite thing, and I have no idea how it got started, is that we "play" with them by banging them on a surface (the louder the better) and say "Numma numma numma num."  He'll even request that I play "numma num" with him.

The mind of a toddler makes me happy



Also, how grown up does he look in that first picture?  He's a full-fledged "big boy" now (and tells us that on a regular basis!).
