Tyson's Thoughts

Tyson wrote these thoughts about his girls while at work. I love them and I'm sure they will love to read it in the future!


4/24/14
Sydney: I love how you ask daddy and mommy to read a book and as soon as we get done reading it. You say gain, gain! Gain!
I love how you come up and give daddy a big hug (you put your head between my knees grab both my legs) and you grunt Errrrrr and shake back and forth for 2-3 seconds.
You constantly want the ipad or iphone to watch movies or play games.
I love when your so nice to London when she is crying to go over and hug her or rub her back and say. Is ok… IS ok! Then immediately go back to whatever you were doing.
I love singing with you and when you sing along. Do you want to build a snow man? Do you want to run and play. I don't see you any more, come out the door it’s like you've gone _______.... You finish AWAYYYY!!! In your cute off tune voice.
I love when you crawl on my back and want piggy back rides and when you beg for more.
You are really independent now. Your dad does not like this. We used to be best buddies and now you like to do your own thing.
You must be on a streak because you really make dad upset when he asks you to do something simple like: put your plate away Sydney. “NO” I just want to come over and put you across my knee and play a game called wack a mole on your booty! Luckily mom has some how gotten across to you that it is not kind to say “NO” But no thank you. It is really hard not to get upset at you when it is so cute when you say no thank you. Example: Sydney, please clean up your toys “no, thank you.” I almost want to go pick up every toy for you. (key word almost) I still let you pick them up. But I help.
You look so ADORABLE! Mom does your hair and you are one beautiful little girl. Your growing up so fast.
I love how you try to fit in dad’s shoes, or creating different uses for ordinary daily things. Example: wash clothes as shoes.
One of my favorite lines you say is, Mom, where r you?
I love when you come crawl on dad and lay down on me as we watch tv.

You are one brave little kid and give dad heart attacks everyday. Both you and mom laugh at me because I am so protective of you and paranoid your going to hurt yourself.
You love being outside even when it is FREEZING cold outside.
You love to pull everything out of our baskets that have our glasses, books, pens, etc on our nightstand.
You are really good at problem solving. If I have a treat in my hand and I cover it up with my fingers. You will use one hand to move the fingers and then my hand will slam shut so you still can't get the treat. So you use one hand to hold my fingers open and then use the other hand to get the treat.
You throw tantrums and fall on the ground pouting.
So I was playing Titanfall the other day and you woke up from your nap and came downstairs. Instead of turning off the computer immediately, I decided to finish the game. Well every time I would shoot an enemy you would do a high pitch scream. Then London chimed in and I couldn't concentrate and was getting my butt kicked. So I turned it off. Lesson learned.
So we had Marco and Melynda visiting from Utah and they stayed with us. So we moved London’s crib into our room. Well when I was moving her crib back to her room after they left, I broke it. The wood split. So that night we decided to put you in a toddler bed. Dreading what was going to happen… You have done amazing. Staying in bed. You would dangle your feet over the side of the bed or play with the curtains but to this day you have not come off the bed.  I must say I am very impressed.
You have become much more of


London:  I like when we say yes, yes, yes. You shake your head frantically back and forth. More saying no. Looks like you should be getting a headache.
You can't ever get enough strawberries, You are one of the messiest eaters.
Your so cute when you want more. You sign to us by clapping your hands instead of the real signal for it. But that’s ok. It is still super cute.
I love your cute little scoot on your boot! I just love it!!!
I love your cute smile and laugh. Your laugh is the best. At first it is a high pitch scream AHHhhh followed with a short ha ha ha ha..
I don't like it when you pull your socks off. You think it is the most clever funniest thing ever. But really it is annoying. (ok it is a little funny).
When you are done with your food, we know. Because it all of a sudden starts get tossed over board. Which is the funniest thing ever! It really is hard not to laugh at it. Mom doesn't think it is very funny. But I do.
You are starting to share things. Like this morning. You took a bite of your cracker and then you handed it out as if to give it to me. But knowing you, it is just a nice gesture. Not a real offer. Don't worry Sydney went through the same thing.
Your hair is always a mess. We are still waiting for it to grow out a little bit so we can put it in a pony tail.
You get so excited over dogs. To the point you scream and yell as if your being beaten. But your just screaming off the top of your lungs for joy of a dog.
Even though you are so small. YOU ARE A SEAT HOG! Poor Sydney just takes the beating from you and you just hog the whole Burley.
Your teething at night and it is really sad. Mom gets up and she nudges me to get up at other times to help put a binky in or give you water. It is hard to see you suffer through your pain of teething.
Your ducky lips are hilarious.
You CONSTANTLY kick your feet. You are such a happy go little girl and I love that about you. You can't hold still just like your dad.
You love the bath and having water poured on your head doesn't bother you a bit. You seem more of the grown up than Sydney because she thinks she is going to die every time we was her hair.
Did I mention you are the MESSIEST eater EVER!!??
You have the cutest smile. You never used to smile as an infant. You had sad face/mad face baby syndrome but now you just have cute face London syndrome and everyone is attracted to it. You're the best baby ever!
You are pointing at things you want now. Starting to communicate better. Like you pointed at the big bottle of bubbles the other day because you wanted a bubble party!
