<p style="text-align: left;">july 2012: we were getting ready to leave from daycare, and Matthew<br />
 and Evan ran over to give Tyler a "group hug".  then some of the<br />
 little girls joined in.  after a minute of this, tyler was going "no<br />
 more hugging!  no more hugging!"  later, in the car, he said to me<br />
 "mama, they think I am a big old hugging board!".   on another<br />
 occasion, we were heading up for "happy nappy" and kevin said "hey,<br />
 where's my hug?".  ty replied "I'm not a hugging machine!"   poor<br />
 little guy, you'd think he was being killed with love.... :)</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">9/8/12: tyler called for me first thing this morning.  but I couldn't<br />
 grumble because when I went in to his room, he said "mommy, do you<br />
 know why I call for you when I wake up?"  I said, "why?" and he told<br />
 me "because I love you soooo much!".  it was so sweet, it totally made<br />
 up for the early morning wake-up. :)</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">9/10/12: last night when I was going out to kevin's truck to get<br />
 shiner, ty ran after me, holding his little plastic hammer, and said<br />
 "mama, I'll go along and if any bad guys try to hurt you I'll hit them<br />
 in the head with my hammer!"  my little knight in shining armor!</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">~September 2011 - obsession with Angry Birds starts</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">12/6/11 "It is a joy to have Tyler in our class.  He always pays<br />
 attention and gives his best.  He loves to sing songs and play games<br />
 with his classmates while he is getting more familiar learning<br />
 Spanish.  His confidence is growing every week and I am expecting a<br />
 lot from him.  I am delighted to have him in class."  Elisa Sastre</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">5/28 took Tyler to his first parade!  it started at the American<br />
 Legion just up the road from our house.  we sat on the sidewalk by the<br />
 lake.  he loved it when the girl scouts gave out little paper flowers<br />
 to the people watching, and loved it even better when the boy scouts<br />
 tossed handfuls of candy at the watching kids!  plus, his friend<br />
 Jordan was leading the pack of Campfire Girls, she was carrying the<br />
 flag.  Ty was so excited, he said "hey, there's Jordan!  is that my<br />
 Jordan?" :)</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">6/25 mom came over for the weekend; tyler, kevin and frank went fishing</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">6/29 after asking me every day for a week, Tyler and I finally went to<br />
 Great Brook Farm so he could feed the cows; the cows were "eating<br />
 dinner" at the trough, so we couldn't get any to come over to the<br />
 fence, but the goats, sheep and some ducks were more than happy to eat<br />
 the food pellets we had.  Ty had a great time feeding the animals, and<br />
 was totally fascinated by the bees in the glass hive in the barn</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">6/30  on the way home ty saw a car with two kayaks strapped to the<br />
 top, and he said "hey mommy, that car has two kayaks on top of it!".<br />
 I was surprised, a) because he was right and there were two of them<br />
 (he seems to be getting better at counting things), and b) he<br />
 correctly identified the boat as a kayak.  reminds me of the time a<br />
 few weeks ago when he found a whistle, blew on it and then said, "I<br />
 can blow my whistle, just like a cheerleader"  when did he learn about<br />
 cheerleaders??</p>
