Silly Tyler

I have one of those tall Rubbermaid wrapping papers boxes that holds all our Christmas wrapping stuff from year to year. Tyler found the top to it while I was wrapping presents one night and immediately put it on his head. I said "what are you doing?", and he said "This is my helmet!" I said, "Helmet for what?" "For when I'm a race car driver!" If you don't know, this is his biggest dream right now, probably fueled by his obsession with the movie "Cars" for the past year. He then proceeded to get out his goggles and got in it "so he could go swimming" (his hair is wet because he just got out og the tub). Life with a three year old is so much fun (99% of the time!).

Tyler's Christmas Program

As you can see, Tyler and all his friends were dressed up like angels for this year's Christ the King preschool Christmas program. I don't think he sang a single word...he wasn't feeling too well, and looked like he was doped up on cold meds (he wasn't!)...he just stood there with his mouth hanging open, staring at the large audience while his friends sang, did hand motions, etc. But that's Tyler, and he was still cute standing there! They had been practicing every day for several weeks, and the next morning when I went to drop him off at school, he said "Mommy, why aren't you staying to watch us practice again?" They had been "practicing" for so long, he didn't realize that the previous day was the real deal and now they were done!
