Ty is 3

Ok I do have 4 other children, I havent forgotten them. But something about this age (3) is so funny and so cute that I want to remember it all. I think part of why I am appreciating it so much it that we missed a lot of this with Ben. Ben has had growths and milestones that are all his own and so much of what we share with him is unique. But Ty is reminding me of my older kids and the funny things he says and does are just..... fun! And it looks like this is the last 3 year old we will have until grandkids.

I was chatting with our nurse Cindy, and Ty just came out and told me... "MOM! me and Cindy BUSY! you clean up the house! Cindy play in the playroom!" Not bossy spoiled last child at all.

It's ME!!!!

Ty thinks that anytime he has any type of item on his face, we dont realize that it is still him. A football helmet, sunglasses, hat, even just making a silly face or being "scary".... he thinks they are all great elements of disguise and he will pull them off with a flourish yelling, "IT'S ME TY!!" and of course we are so thrilled and RELIEVED that our Tybo is back.
I love that he knows, that whenever he walks into a room we are thrilled to see him. He stretches his arms high above his head and is up on his tippy toes as he announces that "It's me!"  Of course you make our day Ty!

He was playing Legos and I had given him some carrots to "build" with. He had lined all the carrots up around the men and I said "oh no! They cant get out!" He looked at them for a minute then put his hands up to his mouth and called "OH TOODLE!"  (Mickey Mouse Clubhouse reference...)

This seems to come in handy in all situations, when he needs a drink , when he wants to get down from somewhere....he calls for toodle. I love this age where the line between make believe and real life is so vague!
