Toddler

This morning I went in to get Kyle up and he was laying on his pillow with George clutched in his hand, lying right there on the pillow with him. Kyle received a small Curious George stuffed animal, kind of like a beanie baby version, and he has become more and more attached to it over the weekend! I am sooo pleased that he may have found a lovey to comfort himself. He's been running to his crib in the middle of the day to grab George and last night that curious monkey accidentally took a swim in the bathtub, but he's all dried out now.

Kyle is everywhere and in everything lately; I'm almost certain he hit his head at least 4 times this weekend, in addition to running in to a young lady's handlebar at the bike swap on Saturday. Thankfully, he has slept through the night since Thursday, so I'm feeling just about human lately. Yesterday evening, while I was making dinner and Kevin was still out on a bike ride, Kyle started emptying out his cabinet; a very common thing for him to do. Although, lately he's been taking each item and placing it on our kitchen table, instead of the floor. Well, last night he ran out of room on the kitchen table, so he crawled in to the cabinet and emptied the rest of it out on our kitchen floor. It was too funny to see him sitting in that empty cabinet!

As Kyle continues in his toddlerhood, our house is increasingly messy, so we're implementing a "put away the toy you're playing with before you get another one out" policy. It's worked pretty well so far.

And, if you haven't heard, we are staying in Tucson for the holidays! After shuttling Kyle around last year and getting even less sleep than usual, we've decided to forego the holiday traveling and start some traditions of our own.
