Tyler - All Smiles

Tyler, you just have the cutest smile!!  You are such a happy baby, I love it!  You are content to look around and smile at anyone who looks at you, and then you turn in a shy kind of way.  It makes me so happy to see you smile like that, I hope you never lose that trait, my smiley boy!!

Aysia - Big Sister!!

It's been a while since I've posted, but Aysia, you are a wonderful big sister to Tyler!

You are protective of Tyler, and always want to to keep other children away from him at school.  You go visit him in the baby room at school, and the teachers say you are very cute with him.  At home, you always insist on helping with his diaper change and with his baths.  You always want to touch him and rock him, and YOU control his vibrate / music on his bouncy seats!!

I was afraid that you would be jealous, and you are a little bit, but not tremendously so.  I do see how my having to split up my time has affected you, and I feel bad about that.  You thrive on routine, and the regular routine has been disrupted, so that bothers you.  You have become more sensitive and needy, and at the same time, more stubborn and susceptible to temper tantrums.  Not sure how much is Tyler and how much is "terrible twos".  But we'll get through it!

Meanwhile, you are so impressive - reading polar bear, polar bear, and talking to people at school.  Everyone tells me how smart you are.  And I just love you so much!!

Last weekend we took you to the carnival and you had fun.  You liked winning toys!  But you did not like the fun house.  One look in the mirrors and you had enough!  In the end, you didn't want to leave, but it was getting close to bedtime so we left.

Your latest bedtime thing is to have me read the llama llama books to you, and then daddy puts you to sleep.  I like that routine!
