This kid continues to amaze me. He is full of stories. He is full of goofy ideas. He is full of it!
Casper is apparently still striking as the naughty ghost that lives somewhere in Kyle's shadow. He is (of course!) to blame for the empty advent calendar yesterday.
Kyle's world is full of fantasy and funny words.
His name and identity continue to change.
He knows how to spell his name and tells everyone right after he says it
"My name is Kyle. K - Y - L - E.
He stood on the 'K' at Megan's classroom the other day for a good 20 minutes, repeating "K is for Kyle".
His new middle name is:
Floober Fleeber.
I was kind of shocked (don't know why anymore) when he told me the other day that he had changed his middle name from Andrew to Floober Fleeber.
I asked him why, and he said he just likes it, it's an "awesome" name.
Well, I was cleaning the living room the other day and he was watching Dragon Tales on TV. I heard one of the characters say the words "Floober Fleeber". I looked at Kyle and said "OH, floober, fleeber?"
And he smiled and nodded "Yep, my middle name!"
He has been singing a lot of songs lately and he has his own lyrics to most of them. Here are a couple I've overheard:
"This old man, he played 2, he played knick knack on my power ranger"
and
"You better watch out, you better not pout, you better not whine, you better do your chores, you better not hit or bite or kick anyone either" -- all in tune mind you!
and
"Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells are falling on the house, the horse knows the way to get us out of here before they fall on us and the sleigh"
His favorite thing to play is sword fighting. If he doesn't have a toy sword handy, he'll turn almost anything into a weapon. He does incredibly dramatic stabbing and dies into a heap on the floor. He never drops the sword though! Notice how it's neatly tucked under his arm, even though he's completely unconscious. A very talented knight.
We decided to take the kids to Temple Square to see the lights and go to dinner at Trolley Square on Christmas Eve this year. This has been an annual outing that we usually do earlier in December, but our schedules and the weather this year had us waiting until the night before Christmas. We had a fun time, but the weather, unfortunately, didn't cooperate. We were pretty much in the middle of a blizzard. Here's a few pictures from our adventure.
Connor found his long lost Italian twin at "Tucci's" Restaurant at Trolley Corners. He was so thrilled.
Kyle's tonsils are healed and he was happy and ready to eat some "real" food with us.
Temple Square was lit up beautifully and it was just kind of fun to be there so close to it and feel the holiday spirit. The beauty of the sites made you forget you were cold (for a minute)!
