Ty; 3 1/2

At three and a half years old, Ty is a sometimes sweet loving boy and others a mischievous and sneaky kid.  He is very active and easy to love.

Ty . . .

loves to throw anything and everything.  He is always willing to play catch outside with a ball or inside with a balloon.

is such a good helper.  He loves to help me around the house doing laundry, cooking dinner, doing dishes, helping with groceries, etc.

lately has been spelling his name Y T.  He'll write the T first, but put the Y on the wrong side.  He does LOVE his name and likes to write it constantly and see it on his blanket.

has a certain side of his blanket that he uses to cover up and will ask for it to be fixed if it's "upside down"

wants to be just like Aiden and do what he does.  He plays the same games that Aiden plays and will follow Aiden around even when Aiden isn't interested in playing.  This usually leads to Ty pestering him for a little while and then Aiden gets annoyed and hits Ty and Ty comes crying to me.  (it happens on a daily basis)

has been making up stories.  He'll tell me "Mom, I stayed on the green light at school" (because Aiden has a green/yellow/red light system at his school).

has really been testing Jeff and I as parents to see what he can get away with lately.  He hates punishment and if he knows he's getting a spanking, he'll cry more before it happens than afterword's.

still loves Team Umizoomi and isn't interested in other shows near as much.

loves to share.  He always offers his food to me or Aiden.

still takes a nap on the days when he doesn't go to school.  On school days, it just doesn't fit into our schedule.

likes to count but usually skips 13 and 16, but he can count to 40 and sometimes 50.

loves being a big brother and likes to "boss" Mark around.  He'll tell him what to do and sometimes will yell "No" at him for grabbing something he's not supposed to.

wants me to play with him on days that Aiden is at school and he's not.  He'll say, "Mom will you play with me?"
