"Hi Thomas!"

We got these new Thomas pj's for Tyson last night. He loves trains! We told him that the train is named Thomas. He was holding the jams in Target and looking at them and kept saying, "Hi Thomas, Hi Thomas!!" He was very excited. He loves these so much that I had to wrestle them off of him this morning to get him dressed for school!! He almost won, but I wasn't going to allow it! After I peeled them off of him, he wouldn't let go of them! So he won that battle, he was allowed to take his PJ's to school with him. He had such a tight grip on them there was no way I was going to attempt that battle! I'd rather him take them with him to school than wear them to school!!! Anyway, he loves his Thomas jams.

The Erwin's came to town!

Double Trouble!

The Erwin's from Topeka made a trip to Lincoln this weekend to hang out with us and watch their beloved KU lose to the Huskers!! It was a really fun weekend! Auntie Becky was here too with her friend, and we got to meet Troy Erwin for the first time!! Tyson had fun holding him and giving him kisses! It was a good weekend and we were sad to see them go back to Kansas.

Bath Time!!

Tyson received letters and numbers for the tub as one of his birthday gifts!! He loves baths and he loves toys, so this was perfect!! As you can see, they stick to the wall! Educational and fun! Can you find his name in the picture??!!

Tyson's 2 year check-up

Tyson had his 2 year well child check today. Boy was it fun. He weighs 27lbs putting him in 45th percentile for weight. He is checking it at 35 inches tall putting him in the 75th percentile for height. Tall and skinny. I can't remember what his head measured in at...it's a big nog that's for sure!
This was our first visit with our new Pediatrician. Derick's long time friend is a nurse at this office and recommended him. Poor Berg had to be the mean one and give Tyson 2 shots; his Hep A and the first of 2 flu shots! We get to go back in 30 days for the second flu shot-if anyone would like to go in my place feel free to call :) Tyson screamed the minute we left the waiting room to go back to the exam room and didn't stop for more than 3 minutes at a time for the entire exam. He hates being poked and prodded, his head, his ears, the doctor listening to his heart. It took me using my entire upper body to hold his legs down and Derick at the other end holding his arms down for the doctor to look in Tyson's ears! You would have thought the kid was being beaten!! Then came the shots, and lets just say they didn't go over well. But he's alive and kicking and most importantly healthy and right on mark for development, so we're pleased!! We don't have to go back until he's 3 and no more shots until Kindergarten! YAY!

Tyson's 2nd Birthday Party!!

We celebrated Tyson's 2nd birthday Saturday along with my cousin's daughter Ava who turns 3 on the fourth. Tyson's birthday is actually the 5th. We had a lot of fun!! Grandma and Grandpa Seberger along with Auntie Becky came up from KC. Grandpa and Grandma Peters along with Great-Grandpa George and Great-Grandma Marion all made the trip from Tecumseh and Fairbury! Some of my dad's side of the family was there as Ava's Grandpa Pat and my dad are brothers. Derick and his mom made about 45 hamburger patties, Michele had all sorts of side items and we had birthday cake! Tyson needed some help with opening his gifts. There was so much going and he wasn't quite sure what to think! He'd open one gift and start playing with the toy and get distracted so I'd start opening another one with him and he'd take over. It wa a fun day! Tyson had so much engery that he didn't even nap! He was up until about 9:30pm with no nap and no major melt downs!! The following are some random pictures from the party.

Tyson and Evelyn on Halloween

Evelyn put her costume on with no fuss. She was a little bear!!

Halloween

Tyson's 2nd Halloween didn't go as I had planned. He refused to put on his monkey costume. We even bribed him with candy and he still wouldn't put it on! We still went over to the Placek's for some trick-or-treating fun! Tyson helped Kristine hand out candy to their trick-or-treaters! He was such a big helper!! He would run to the door when their were kids and Kristine would hand him a piece of candy and he would put it in each child's bag! He never once tried to keep some for himself!! It was so cute! He made his momma and daddy so proud!! When the kids would leave, Tyson would lean out the door and say, "bye kids!!" It was so adorable!!! He carried the bowl of candy around the house and when the next set of kids came he'd run to the door with it and hand more out!! It was a lot of fun!! Next year we'll attempt the costume again!
