Ky Turns 4

My sweetest boy Kyler. Oh how mommy loves you. You are truly my pride and joy. You are a special boy. You love people. People love you. You are as silly as can be, and live to make people laugh. Sometimes this gets you in trouble, you think rules go out the window when laughter is the goal, but at the end of every day i sure do love your silliness and love for everyone. I love hearing your giggle at your favorite shows or with your friends. It makes my heart sing. You love to be happy. You try your hardest to stay that way.
You have a gift, you love baby's. Its almost magical. You adore your baby brother. Adore him. You always are willing to help your little sister, sometimes which gets you in trouble with her and her independent attitude. She fights back by hitting/biting/or her newest scratching, which breaks your tender little heart. You don't understand why she wouldn't want her big bros help. With daycare here, it never really seems to bother you. In fact, when i have a day off and its just us, you always need to know how many more days till our friends come back. You are a social butterfly.

You love to help. You are my biggest helper. You help with baby Parley, you help with the babys i tend. You love to help make dinner. You help me by trying to make your bed. You love to vacuum the living room and do so without even being asked. You even love to help by tattling on your sister or friends. That part of your helping is less admired, but still appreciated at times. :)
You are a talker. Talk, talk, talk is what you do. You talk so clearly and so mature for your age. You understand far beyond your years. You love for me to read to you. Recently we have been reading simple chapter books and the lack of pictures doesn't seem to bother you...You are growing up too fast. You love stories.

You like to come up with storys of your own too....most of the time its about a wolf or fox that is going to get you, your are kind of scared of them for some reason. You will tell a fib and giggle afterwards thinking your so funny to come up with such a funny lie. You also are always telling me your tummy hurts to get out of things. You also claim that any horse or any cow that you see out to pasture is yours and is at your farm. You love horses and cows, but get very very nervous when we come up close to them. You want to be so brave, but get so leary. With time buddy they wont seem so huge and scary.
You love to watch Curious George. He is your favorite. We have to watch one almost every night as part of your night routine. If we miss, you get upset. You have made your sister love George too. You also love to watch Jungle Book, you think "Blue" Balloo is hilarious. You also enjoy Lady and the Tramp, Ice Age, Tom and Jerry, and really the list can go on. You really enjoy watching TV(Jake and the Neverland Pirates, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and Chuggington) and would do it all day if i let you.
You don't seem to interested coloring or any of the artsy stuff, especially anything that involves scissors. You just have a hard time with those small motor skills. We are working on them to help you along. You do love to get messy though. Finger paining always results in a beautiful brown color all over your paper and up to your elbows. You do love painting with shaving cream in the bathtub...but we get that same beautiful brown color by your constant mixing and smearing.  You do enjoy playing in water/sand or building things and playing with your construction toys or police truck.
You dont dislike any food that i know of. But your favorites as of latley...Apples (grandma Jo puts salt on them for you, you love that, mommy will not cause she thinks thats gross. :) ) You love peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, fish sticks, chicken nuggets, ham sandwiches, spaghetti, you prefer fruits and veggies over cookies, but you are also know to demand chocolate. You LOVE mustard. You would drink it i fear if i let you. You put it on everything from apples to chips to celery to carrots and beyond. You know that milk upsets your tummy and know that you have to limit how much cheese/yogurt you eat.
You are still head over heals for your "B" or blankey. You take it everywhere. When it gets misplaced, its a big problem. Mommy thought you lost it for good just a couple months ago and it was a very sad, very long week until we found it. That blankey sure is special to you.

Mommy loves listening to your prayers at night. You have such an active mind and i have no doubt that Heavenly Father loves hearing your detailed fast talking prayers. We try to teach you to talk slower when praying, but you seem to have so much to say that it all blurs together. You love saying the prayer on the food and beg daddy to let you do it every night. There are times you melt down into tears when we have Brooklyn or one of us say it. Its hard to share that great opportunity, huh!
Kyler Brandon, I love you. I love everything about you. I love watching you learn and develop into a big boy. You have great gifts that will be a huge blessing in your life, i look forward to watching you develop these talents and gifts making you the amazing man i know you will be when you grow up.

Here is a movie of him answering his birthday questions....i hope remember to do this from each birthday here on out.
