Big Brother

I thought I should do a post about Rylen, since I am partly doing this blog as a way to journal for myself. I doubt very much that I will remember many details about this crazy time in our lives.

Rylen has been kind of getting neglected by Mommy lately (although he is getting tonnes of Daddy time which is great!) But the moments I do spend with him, I am always amazed by his cuteness, intelligence and his vocabulary! Wow that kid can talk up a storm!

Here`s what is awesome about Rylen at age 2 years and 10 months:
  • he loves to fall asleep at night while holding hands with Mommy or Daddy
  • he can repeat pretty much ANYTHING you say with almost perfect pronunciation (as anyone with a toddler knows, this is Mommy and Daddy's worst nightmare!) 
  • his favourite song is Life is a Highway, preferably by Rascal Flatts, but he will take the Tom Cochrane version in a pinch
  • he LOVES reading books, particularly Cat in the Hat, anything by Robert Munsch and the Llama Llama series
  • he loves to cuddle, particularly at night
  • after a bath, his hair gets super curly
  • he is in love with airplanes and garbage trucks, one of his favourite games is to pretend any box or bin or laundry basket is a garbage bin, and then proceed to throw all of his toys in it, and then dump them out. Messy, but kills a good half hour.
  • he loves going to museums, the aviation museum being his fave.
  • he is starting to become a better eater...will even occasionally eat a vegetable! Shocking I know!
  • he LOVES babies and is so far very besotted with Rhys and Garrett.  He has been nothing but gentle and loving towards them
  • he loves to bake with Mommy and is really great at cracking eggs!
  • he is at his best when he is helping someone do something...in particular anything that involves tools
  • he comes up with excuses to get out of doing things. His favourite is " I can't, I have babies in my tummy" (hmmm...wonder where that came from??)
  • he loves to sing and can pick up the lyrics to songs very quickly. In the car, he loves to have the music blaring and dance. He'll kick his legs really fast and tell you "look at my flip flops go!" 
  • He calls railway crossing signs "Ding Dings" 
 I could go on and on...there are so many cute and funny things that he does lately. I think the age he is at is my favourite so far. Although, I do say that about every age.
