New Determination

My baby (ha!) has a new found determination and leadership!

In the past month, it's like he has grown up - physically, emotionally, and mentally. He has a new attitude (less whiny) and asks to help set the table, etc, to be helpful around the house, and picks up without me asking.

Publicly, he is a spitfire. Here are a few recent things:
  • The Juke Joint Jog - this was going to become an annual exercise event for us after our family family run last year. When it came to be the day of the race, Grant said he didn't want to do it, so I sat out with him, and Kyle was still full-force ready to run. He did SO much better than last year. The last .2 of the race, he ran as hard as his little body would take him to the finish line. Of course, everyone was cheering. I got a few pictures but couldn't swap over to video quick enough and still get pics. He was a DOLL!!!
  • Fire Engine - we attend the public library story time every Monday. Being Fire Safety week, the firemen came out. Kyle, while raising his hand, informed everyone that he is supposed to go to the mailbox if his house gets on fire, and then whey they asked what to do if your clothes caught fire, he raised his hand and said "I"ll show ya!" and proceeded to stop, drop, and roll for the entire room. Outside, the firemen let all the kids spray the hose in to the parking lot (that was his highlight).
  • Yoga Master - this is a phrase I am pretty sure would never come out of someone in my family. Kyle's preschool class has a certified yoga teacher, and she sometimes does yoga with the kids. At the Open House on Monday, Kyle was the only kid to go to the yoga area with the teacher and demonstrate for the teachers. Oh, how I wish I had my video camera! He was doing the Sun Salutation, Child's pose, Tree, and who knows what else with just the biggest smile! when we got home that night, he acted like he had never heard of the word 'yoga' and wouldn't do a thing! oh well... baby steps!

just had to document!
