Fun things about Tyler:
*He wears a hooded jacket every day to school b/c it is cold inside, but when it is blazing hot in the afternoon, he still has it on....makes me hot just looking at him.
*He loves the plastic livestrong bracelets and has started a collection on both ankles....when he gets comments from people on how many he has (and there are many comments) he tells them the current number....today it was 10. Mostly Livestrong, a few "I'll follow Him in Faith" from church, and a choose the right one.
*He's only lost 1 tooth so far, but he has 3 loose and when we smilingly wiggles them in front of me, I beg him not to let them come out so he'll still be my little boy...now he does it to tease me.
*At the foot of his bed, he has a collection of books, papers, and his favorite things...its a mess, but he loves it, so I allow it.
*When we are in a group at the park, he is content to go off on his own and swing, climb the monkey bars, etc. but also will run with the kids when he feels like it.
*He LOVES the monkey bars, and is so proud of himself for "conquering" them. He comes home every day and tells me how many times he crossed them. He has calluses on his hands and even blisters have opened, but he doesn't care (even though I urge against it) he keeps swinging on them.
*He still likes the "kids shows" even though friends at school say they are for babies.
*He's been reading chapter books (I have a child who can read?) and loves to practice writing his name in cursive. He loves math and is always saying, "I know how much 7 plus 8 is" and I say, "what?" and he'll say, "15." So pleased with himself.
*I LOVE how he is unashamed of me and will blow me a kiss every morning when I drop him off, and hug/kiss me when I leave lunch/class.
I am so grateful to be his mom.

for some reason the video made me teary. probably thinking of my own little man. love the background school noises, the blowing kiss, and birthday singing. life is starting to move too fast...
What a sweet boy. Happy Birthday Tyler!
Hard to believe that it's been seven years already. And Reilly's five. Time has really flown.
I can tell he's a sweet boy. thanks for sharing all the fun tidbits about him. I was hoping to hear that you get used to having them in school... i still have 2 years till i cross that road, thank goodness.
awww, i just saw this! Great write up about Ty, and the video was too cute! I was happy to see my son singing, he is usually too shy! Is it not crazy that we have first graders? yikes!
Oh sweet little Tyler. Great pictures and stories of him. Hopefully he doesn't get too cool to blow kisses and hug his mom.
