TYLER

*Rigo has a little friend named Tyler. He is only 4 years old and he came to our house today. I get such a kick out of Tyler cause he says such cute things! I'm pretty sure that Tyler thinks Rigo is a pretty cool guy. After all, what could be better than hanging out with a 7-year-old boy? They both have Spiderman underwear, they both like Legos, they both LOVE doing stuff with "Dr. Mork" and they even have the same booster seat! Anyway, it is fun to watch the two. Rigo doesn't get much of a chance to be the "leader" (as he calls it) because he is the youngest in our big family. So it is nice for him to show the ropes to this little guy.

Today, as they were eating their Happy Meals in McD Playland, complete with nuggets and apple juice...I saw the cutest thing. All of the sudden, Tyler looked up at Rigo and quietly said...."I love you, Rigo". It was SO cute. I didn't want to laugh, but I came pretty close. At the very least...it brought a huge smile to my face!

* Kristin came home after her anatomy final. I walked toward Tyler asking Kristin..."So, are you going to take a nap this afternoon?" Unfortunately, Tyler thought I was talking to him. He had this concerned look on his face, looked at me and said (very politely, I might add) "I don't want to take a nap!" Poor guy. He had just changed into his swim trunks and was ready for the beach! I think I kind of took the wind out of his sails. Imagine how relieved he was when he realized that I wasn't talking to him.

*Later in the car, a praise song came on the radio. First Tyler started to sing...then Rigo. Again, SO cute and....well...music to my ears! A little off-tune, but none-the-less...music. We had a great day with Tyler!
