Ping Pong

Playing ping pong with Uncle Seth is super fun.  Kyler was entertained for a long time.

One time after hitting the ping pong ball, Kyler exclaimed, "I hit homerun!"

Favorite Uncle

Hyrum's brothers are each trying to train Kyler to say their name when they ask, "Who is your favorite uncle?"  Kyler is too smart for them.  When asked the question, he responded, "Uncle Daddy."

Funny Things Kyler has Said

*Kyler and I were outside playing when Kyler found a piece of a balloon.  He said, "Eat it" like he often does when he is pretending to eat something, but then he acted like he was actually going to stick it in his mouth.  Not wanting him to do this, I replied, "We don't eat that.  We only eat food."  Kyler responded, "Only eat food, sometimes."

*Hyrum and I had been planning to go to the temple, but hadn't found a babysitter yet.  It was my responsibility to find one, so I grabbed the phone, trying to decide who to call.  Kyler was watching me, so I asked, "Who should I call to babysit you?"  He replied, "President Monson."
(BTW-we don't know President Monson on a personal basis at all)

The Olympics

Hyrum and I really enjoy watching the Olympics, so we have been looking forward to them this year.  Kyler, who is new to the Olympics, thinks it is the coolest thing ever!  He LOVES sports, especially if it involve a ball.  He gets so excited every time we turn on the TV to watch.  I think the cutest part about it is that when he is playing, he now incorporates the Olympic events into his play.

He will run around the room saying he is a runner, going fast.

He will hit a ball with his arms like a volleyball player.

He will stand on a lid (or something else that is near by), call it his diving board, and "jump into the water".

He will lay down on his belly and move his arms and legs while saying, "I swimming".

Kyler will also narrate what he is watching on TV, to the best of his ability.  The other day, Hyrum and I were making applesause and had the Olympics on.  Kyler was sitting on the couch watching.  Volleyball was playing, and Kyler was sitting there saying, "The ball go HIGH!", "They fell down!", "Hit it!", etc.
