Earlier this week, I stepped out of the front room leaving Tanner and Ty both alone in the room together. (Mistake number 1). Tanner comes running to find me and is very unhappy about something. Ty had made his way to the Christmas tree and was setting about having his own private Christmas celebration and was opening packages. This did NOT please brother.

Tanner said: “Mommy! I don’t wike him! I don’t wike dat brudder! He got presents! He IS trouble mommy! Trouble trouble trouble YEP!”

LOL!!!

And Tanner had a good point…Ty has been trouble trouble trouble this week LOL but I will go into that in his diary. Rest assured though, I did talk to Tanner about not saying he doesn’t like his brother and he did apologize. I suppose though if you make a list of things that would make a 3 year old very mad at his baby brother, mad enough to warrant an “I don’t wike him” comment, opening Christmas presents in advance is probably high on the list. LOL.

Tanner has been saying “Yep” at the end of every sentence all week to add emphasis to every point he makes. Wonder who else does that? Hmmmmm.. He also has begun saying things in three’s (right right right, trouble trouble trouble). This is not a part of the stuttering issue, he is simply adding emphasis. That’s what happens when you spend all day with a mommy who is very very very (LOL) expressive. Yep!

P.S. I added pictures to the end of the December Album and I did catch Ty in the act.

P.S.S. Grandpa and Grandma Brinkman – we got your presents in the mail! Tanner was so excited! They cannot open them until we have Christmas though (I am such a meanie). Aunt Heidi – your presents came too and I LOVED those little tin boxes and the fudge and popcorn too. As a result of getting both these packages on the same day though, now every time our doorbell rings Tanner is insisting someone is leaving gifts on our doorstep! LOL!
