True BFFs

This is Tyson and his best friend Paul.  Tyson calls him his Little Buddy.  And sometimes, he even tells people that Paul is his little brother.  It is practically true. They play like brothers.  Bicker like brothers.  And even say I Love You like brothers.  Last night they expressed all of these.  They fought over trucks, cried because they were tired, but then said I Love You to each other as they watched crack TV Mickey Mouse Club House.

Tyson seriously asks about Paul 500 million times a day (and I think Paul reciprocates the same).  He wants to go to his new house.  He wants to go to the pool with him.  He wants to drive at the track with him.  He wants to know if he is eating dinner or if he's still napping.  

I always envisioned that we would force our kids to be friends with our friend's kids.  Little did I know that they would become absolute BFFs.  I seriously believe that these two will continue to be two peas in a pod throughout childhood and beyond.  

We can only all imagine what these two will look like in high school together.  I am sure they will fight over a girl (we all hope Ellie), give each other a black eye, and probably get drunk or who knows what in our basements.  Elaine and I joke they will be like Rob and Big.  (Well...minus the fact Tyson isn't a huge black man...but you get the point.)

Either way...these two boys are pretty darn cute and I just love them both! 

Webtastic Spiderman and a Fully Padded Dragon

This Halloween, the Ty Man was Spiderman.  It was as if he knew just what he wanted to be.  We took him to the local costume shop to pick out his perfect disguise.  I was certain he was going to pick out Thomas the Train, Mickey Mouse, or Lightning McQueen (all characters that he is loving at the moment).  But instead...he went straight for the Webtastic Spiderman as if it was calling his name.  He loved his new costume so much and even slept with the mask in his hand. 

Trick or treating went great.  If you know Ty, then you know this little guy will never turn down a piece of candy (or any food for that matter).  And so he caught on quickly that he could grab candy from all the neighbors just by ringing a doorbell and looking Oh-So-Cute.  

He was even lucky enough to Trick or Treat with his BFF, Paul the Dragon.  They ran around chasing each other to the next house, squealed and screamed like these two boys love to do...and even participated in a nice body slam.  No really...as we were finishing up at the last house Tyson took off running full speed ahead.  And with the combo of the dark sky and the Spiderman Mask, he didn't see the Paul the Dragon at all and gave him a full force 39 pound body slam.  Thank goodness Paul the Dragon was fully padded!!!  

Either way it was a successful Halloween and I must admit that I am looking forward to next year when us Mom's can just stand at the end of the driveway and not have to hold the candy bags...or even better, stay inside while the Dad's have their turn  :)
