This past Saturday night I went over to Travis and Heather's to babysit Tyler for the evening. I arrived to a not so happy Tyler lying down on the cement next to his scooter. I thought he looked adorable with his striped shirt and beanie.
They had just taken family pictures. So I ate dinner with them and then Travis and Heather went off to Cold Stone and to the Dollar Theatre to watch Kung Fu Panda. Tyler and I had a blast. He rode his spider man scooter faster than I was expecting so I ended up running to catch up to him. We walked around the neighborhood admiring the many Halloween decorations. People go all out!
I asked Tyler, "What are you going to be for Halloween?" "A pirate" "Tyler, what should I be for Halloween?" After a few long moments of concentration, "A Danielle costume! You'll have hair and arms and eyes." "What? I am already Danielle. I want to be something silly." "OOOOOOK...You should be a HOUSE! With a big smiley face and windows." A house for Halloween it is. Cassie Web, Travis' sister ended up stopping by for a bit. Tyler was playing quietly with his cars a few feet away. I talked quietly to Cassie, "I just love this kid." She agreed and said, "Yeah he's cute." Suddenly Tyler's head pops up as he states confidently, "You do love me." We didn't realize the kid was listening! Lastly, before watching Peter Pan Tyler randomly flexed his muscles for me and proceeded to get down on all fours to show me how to do a push-up. Here's a video of it. It's hard to hear him but he says, "You put your chin down and move your body up...ect." This guy is a little athlete!

This was so much fun to read! The kids is hilarious. I can't wait to see Tyler & Sam together again at Christmas. While talking about our families the other day, Samantha said: "I remember Aunt Danielle."
Sounds like a fun evening, and even if his form on those push-ups isn't perfect, you can't fault his work ethic.
