Tyrel is four

Some of my favorite (recent) things that Tyrel has done/said:

1.  I was rounding up all the kids to come inside and couldn't find Tyrel anywhere (he also thinks it's hilarious to not answer when I'm calling him).  I ask all the kids to help me look and we are looking all over outside and in.  A few minutes later, he walks in the door carrying two squeeze-its in his hands.  He had gone over to our neighbors house, let himself in (she was downstairs working and didn't even know he had entered), opened her fridge, grabbed the drinks, and ran back over to our house; also leaving her front door wide open.  Needless to say, we've been talking about stealing at  our house.

2.  I was making dinner for a neighbor while the kids were outside playing on a slip -n- slide when Ty walks in the house and tells me he is done swimming.  I help him out of his swim suit and tell him to get dressed by himself because I'm busy making dinner.  He leaves and I'm just in the kitchen busy cooking and I go over to the sink to rinse some dishes off and I see Tyrel hobbling across the street totally naked except for his pillow case.  He took it off and decided to stand in it to 'cover up' with to go outside, rather than actually get dressed.

3.  "Mom, I just like the pigs....not the blankets. I tried the blankets but for some reason I don't like them so I'm just going to eat the pigs, okay." (talking about when we had pigs in a blanket for dinner).

4.  This is the official difference: "Cuddling is for babies; snuggling is for kids and grown ups."

So Tyrel is my little bundle of energy.  He does the cutest little things (like mentioned above) that just make me smile and laugh, even when I'm furiously mad at him.  He has the smallest attention span of anyone I've ever met and he is the most distracted person!  He is very sweet though and is very good at sharing.  He loves playing with his big brother and sister and all the neighborhood kids outside. He likes to swim, although he is a little nervous about the diving board and slides.  He loves super heroes, diego, and legos, catching bugs and climbing trees.  He likes to color and he loves his sunbeam teacher (who is also our neighbor Chandi).  He also likes to watch (and play) Wild Kratts with Jonah.

(He always smiles with his nose scrunched up like that)
