New Tricks

[*Disclaimer: this blog was written by a very proud mother!]

The newest additions to Tyler's vocabulary are: purple, "Deeder", Bible, wheel, and five. Ok...so I know I need to explain Deeder and probably wheel too. Deeder is what Tyler calls himself - it's how he pronounces Tyler! Anytime he sees a picture of himself or we point to him and say "who's that" he proudly says "Deeder". Tyler's favorite tv show is "Wheel of Fortune" and whenever it comes on he yells out "wheel" over and over. He also claps every time the audience does....he's hooked! Tyler is learning his colors and numbers and so far he likes to say purple and five the best. When he says "five", he holds out all his fingers to show us how many fingers equal 5. He also can identify the colors purple, blue, and green best. When we ask him to show us one of those colors he usually comes back with the correct color block.

Tyler enjoys playing hide and seek. He always picks the same hiding spots, but we act surprised to find him in his spot every time. Tyler is still doing the "Your Baby Can Read" program, which he loves. It's amazing how many words he can read now. I've lost count it's so many. Tyler has learned to recognize the Clemson tiger paw. When he sees it he is quick to point it out to us. We don't think he understands exactly what it is, but he knows it's important....so we're on the right track!
