Tyler says the cutest stuff

This whole speech thing is AWESOME. I can't even begin to tell you how much easier this whole parenting a preschooler is when you have yourself some speech. Seriously, if I would have know I would have made him talk a heck of a lot sooner.

There are things that never get old. I don't think hearing him say momm-e gets old or I love you dad-e. But lately he has been saying and doing the funniest things. Here are a few for your laughing pleasure.

(Please use the potty before. We are NOT responsible for incontinence.)

At Thanksgiving he was telling my Aunt Linda about the pizza story. He gets this pucker on his face and lowers his voice and says " Once upon a time....." Then laughs at himself when everyone else starts laughing.

( the pictures is of him playing at the mall yesterday! he is so stinking cute!~)

He points to his Aunt Nicky and says " Nicky poo poo" Repeats until we can get him to do something else. Like tell us a story.

"Wexi to play baketball" is a big one. He says it like 900 times a day. When I say we have to ask her mom he hands me the phone and says Tammy. I didn't even know he knew her name.

He asks "What da kids doing?" and means he is looking for Kayden and Koy

When Kayden and Koy were over they wanted to get in my big jet tub. Well we knew the boys had gotten water every where. Tyler came down and he was covered from the top of his head to about half way down his back. He looked at me and said " What happened Tywer?" Then laughed.

He totally gets Christmas this year. He keeps asking to go buy a "Christmas wish box for dad-e"

He came trotting down the stairs and said " Tywer hungry." When asked what he wants he does his little Think thing. Responds " Hot dogs" I tell him we dont' have any hot dogs. He said " Go to the tore to get a hot dog." He said the same thing about going to the tore in grandpa's truck to get some toaster struddles too. He really thinks if we don't have it we can buy it.

And my personal favorite. If he isn't asking for Lexi to come play he is asking to go to the store and "get a bwter or sister to play." It is really cute and heartbreaking at the same time. I sure wish there was a store like that!

Milestone moments

Over the last 3 months ( since school let out!) there has been explosions of words. We add words almost every single day. In fact in the last 3 weeks we have probably tripled our vocabulary and random words will just pop out.

The other day we were doing something and his animal fell. I said "What happened?" fully expecting a grunt. Instead I got "happen." Dallas and I looked at each other and gave our praise junkie EXACTLY what he likes. LOUD clapping praise~!

This morning we were making his bed. It is his only official chore and he LOVES it. He has frogs and he said "Ribbit" plain as day!

Since going camping he has asked for Mickey Mouse tent and Fishing. So today we made a tent using chairs. He got up on the chairs and he tipped it over. When the tent fell down he said " Oh no TENT!" He didn't even care he fell over.

The best of the day.... We needed to get out and we went to get Burger King and play. There were 2 little girls that kept asking him if he wanted to play in there "castle." Normally I intervene and let them know he doesn't talk and blah blah, but today I let him go. He followed them and then they asked him if he wanted the red or purple spot. BOTH are words he knows. I was not looking up but in his SWEET little voice he said RED really loud. They went to the red and he kept playing. I was so excited.

The best of the WEEK: We didn't hear the garage open one day and weren't sure when Dallas was coming home. He has had to work late a lot the last few weeks so we are kinda just awesome pals all day. We were telling finger puppet stories and the door opened. Ty hopped up and went running. For the first time EVER he says "Dada, dada" and jumps into his arms. Ty has been able to say dad he just WON'T without some MAJOR prompting. He usually signs it too. This was HUGE. The smile on Dallas face was priceless.

We can't wait for him to start school and head back to Speech. Seeing how much he has progressed this summer makes us really excited for 3 days a week of speech and the interaction with kids.

A friend of our that has a special needs child made a comment the other day. She said " I bet you NEVER get tired of hearing him babble or talk huh." It took me a second, and realized that I didn't ever get tired of it. NEVER. I don't care how much he talks when he is older I NEVER want to tell him shut up or complain about him talking because somewhere there is a mom ( like her) that doesn't get to hear even the smallest word.

It breaks my heart to hear other people complain that their kids talk to much. There is not anything in the world that is better than them having a voice. Hearing that voice put 2 things together is amazing!

(Sorry to Aunt Nicky for calling when we have new words. It makes me happy we can share them. )

Funny things OUR kid SAYS!! ( yes says!)

In the blogging world I am surprised at all the moms that blog the funny things kids say. I was always a bit *gaggy* unless I really liked the kids and then it was funny. I was mostly gaggy cause Ty wasn't talking.

AT ALL.

Not a bit.

Not even a LITTLE bit.

Somewhere in the last six months we have had an EXPLOSION of sounds. That explosion of sounds have the gone into WORDS. Like TANGIBLE words.

Thanks to his Aunt Nicky he even picked up Poo Poo and his Aunt Maegan is getting a run for her money in the toot department.. Oh and the BURPING.. oh my!

Now that we repeat words like toot, poopoo and ewww. Some funny stuff comes out.

A conversation on our bed while getting Ty ready to go to sleep.

Mommy: Oh No Tyler Dad stole your blanket

Tyler: oh no. No No poo poo

Dad: I am not poo poo

Tyler: eww poo poo

eww poo poo went on for a few minutes

Then Tyler would say mom is pretty poo poo... and we laugh.

A whole conversation around poo is pretty good for a non verbal kiddo.

I am not sure we can even call him non verbal anymore. It seems you just have to listen. He will tell you what he wants.

So for tonight.... good night Poo Poo
