Tyler has picked up a new thing: Copying others. Last weekend visiting the Roberts', he began copying Uncle Mike; jumping when Mike jumped, squatting when Mike squatted (even though Mike squatted to get down to Tyler's level). Today Ms. Jaclyn told me she saw him copying Carina yesterday. Carina was walking around sucking her thumb and twirling her hair and Tyler was following behind her doing the same. The funny thing was he doesn't really know how to suck his thumb and his hair is too short to twirl. So, he had one hand upside-down on the side of his mouth, the other hand pulling his hair.

One day last week, Ms. Shauna suddenly noticed Tyler & Carina were missing and went off looking for them, only to find them tucked away in a corner away from the playground where everyone else was. Tyler's shoes and socks were off and he was bending over trying to take Carina's shoes off. His socks were on her hands. I wonder if that is at all related to him waking up at 3:00 a.m. insisting we take his shirt off last night. After he ordered it off three times, Shawn groggily complied hoping that would calm Tyler down enough to fall back to sleep. But as soon as the shirt came off, Tyler started insisting we take his diaper off. Uh-uh no way buddy.
