Tyler is talking up a storm. So is Gavin these days. The difference is Tyler says words and Gavin just gurgles and coos. He sings oooo so he's got one of the 26 letters down. But Tyler is just on a roll these days saying sentences, telling us he wants, and get this...counting! He counts to six like he's been doing it forever. He doesn't get mixed up and put four before two or anything like that. When he gets to six, you can tell he wants to keep going because he just keeps repeating the word six. So awesome! The only thing that would make it better is if he would do this on command. Of course, we are bragging about this feat to everyone but so far nobody outside of school and home has actually heard him do it. When we ask him to, he just clams up. This is a minor frustration that we as parents must make sure we handle properly so we don't scar him from ever wanting to count outloud again. So, if he wants to be shy-boy that's fine with me. I know he's advanced and maybe he wants that to be our little secret.

This weekend was full of the Wiggles. Tyler has many of their dance routines memorized and is becoming quite the dancer. Lately, everywhere we go there is a song by the Wiggles playing. Yesterday at Target we heard a song and Tyler started waving his arms like Henry the Octopus. At gymnastics they played a song that got us pointing our fingers and doing the twist. When the song stopped, Tyler announced "Dog" because Wags the Dog's song comes on right after the twist on the video we watched all weekend. We just can't get away from the Wiggles! Gymnastics was so fun and Tyler demonstrated a huge improvement over the prior week. He actually jumped! Now he's trying to jump more than once but keeps landing on his bottom. Thank goodness for the comfortable padding in his diapers!
