Tyler had a great day on Friday. He had two of his best buddies here to play with. Carter spent most of the day with us which was great fun. After lunch Tyler and Carter had the chance to sit on the floor and play. Tyler finally had someone to play cars and trucks with. It was so funny to watch the two of them. Tyler kept crawling over to Carter to give him hugs and would just lay his head in Carter's lap and almost knock Carter over. Carter would get his balance back and just look at him with a look of "what are you doing" and then go on playing. I can't wait to watch them grow up together, hopefully they will be great friends!
As Carter walked out the door, Jacob (another one of Tyler's buds) walked in the door. Tyler gets to see Jacob many times a week and it is so much fun to watch them play together. Jacob does such a great job playing with Tyler. It was so cute on Friday night, Jacob was pushing Tyler around on his new Thomas the Train push toy that he got for his birthday. Of course it makes noise and plays the Thomas song, so Jacob would push the button that made that noise and Tyler would move his body to the music as Jacob pushed it while we all laughed hysterically. Jacob also saved Tyler from the big bad red machine-also known as the vacuum. For some reason Tyler is very afraid of the vacuum, which I have yet to figure out. It isn't like I ran over him with it or anything like I did his sister (that is a totally different blog entry). So while Daryl ran the vacuum(hence the look on Tyler's face)that night Jacob sat with Tyler on the couch and protected him. I wish there was not such an age difference between the two of them, but hopefully Tyler will always look up to Jacob and follow his example.
