Little Buddy

Last night Tyler told me that Patches is his little buddy. That is so endearing because we call Tyler our little buddy all the time.

Who are you talking to Mommy?

Tyler has recently made me aware of how frequently I talk out loud to other drivers on the road while I am driving (e.g. “Pick a lane already!”). When I do this Tyler asks, “Who are you talking to Mommy?”

Leapin' Lizards

Tyler was quite pleased with himself for all the jumping he did in the mall's play area. He particularly liked jumping down the bridge as seen in this video.

Clara's 5th Birthday Party

It was raining out, so Beni the Llama wiped his feet and
came inside the Hirsch house. He was really well behaved!

Clara (in the center in the blue shirt and skirt) was excited
to have Beni the Llama at her birthday party.

Tyler did not want to go near the llama, but Michael,
Ziggy, and I wanted a family photo with Beni.

Tyler had a blast with this car until he rolled it down
the stairs and we had to take it away from him.

The birthday gift opening melee! 5-year olds have no concept
of personal space, hover as close as they can to see better,
and all wanted the birthday girl to open their present next!

Gig 'em Lil' Aggies

The little Aggies seemed oblivious that our football team blew a huge lead against Arkansas and ended up losing!

Monkeying around

Bouncing with Allen

Rolling around with Devin and Dane before getting kicked
out of the "no minors" area of Macadam's Grill.

Crime and Punishment

This morning Tyler told me that his two teddy bears had pushed him. Then he went and put both the bears in his crib for a time out. Later Tyler told me that the bears had apologized to him and so he took them out of time out.

Catchphrases

Lately Tyler has been using the following 2 phrases frequently:

• No problem.
• Oh, sure. (in place of yes)
