He still loves his tiger and all animals really. Kelly took the boys to a park a few days ago and Rycie saw a bear statue. Kelly said he just kept roaring at it and it was so cute. Kelly also took Bryce to True Value a few weeks ago. He said they had some giant Webkinz stuffed animals and Bryce was hugging them all. Every time Kelly showed him a different one, he would drop the one he had and reach out to hug the new one. He even tried to put one up on the counter when Kelly was paying for his BBQ pellets. Kelly said he would have bought him one if they hadn't been $30.
He has also become very interested in balls of any type but especially a youth football we have. He has insisted on sleeping with it quite a bit lately and likes to carry it around the house. He also loves the Little Tikes basketball hoop we have. He has played with that more in the past month than Cason has played with it in the past two years.
Bryce loves to imitate pretty much anything he sees. Here he is doing burpees. We never tried to teach him burpees, he just saw us doing them at the gym.
Lately he's been obsessed with belly buttons and the funny thing is he always wants to see Cason's. If a belly button is mentioned or seen, he will then laugh and point to Cason and keep insisting on seeing it until Cason lifts up his shirt. Then Rycie laughs and laughs.
One of the cutest (although sometimes annoying) things he does is he will run and try to hide if it's time to brush his teeth or go to bed. He hates getting his teeth brushed but the past few weeks have been tolerable when I make a game out of it. I make a big deal about getting his tooth brush out and he starts laughing and takes off running. He usually runs as far away as he can and then just stands there laughing while I exaggeratedly come after him. Then he lies down on the floor and I have to straddle him to get the toothbrush in there for a few seconds. Hey, whatever works, right?
On the same note, when it's time for bed or nap, I take him to his room and change his diaper. As soon as he can, he gets up and bolts out of the room. He runs as far away as he can, usually to our bedroom closet or to the side of the clothes dryer. He is super quiet as he hides unless I start being silly calling out for him, then he starts laughing. It's super cute and I think he will be very good at Hide and Seek someday!
I don't know where he got this but he says "Aye" for yes. He doesn't say no either, he just shakes his head and says "Mmm-mmm".
Personality wise, Bryce is still a very intense child. He is either super happy or super angry. But he is usually happy outside the house so people think he is the happiest toddler. He is fairly outgoing with strangers but still a Mama's boy at heart. He is also pretty independent and it doesn't take much to entertain him. He is happy with almost any toy. I can't even really think of a favorite toy of his because he plays with almost everything at this point. He loves to play with coins and small objects like that so I think we may have another rock lover on our hands. I look forward to the day when I don't have to watch him like a hawk around small objects!
He loves his big brother and every now and then Cason will be nice and play WITH him. Bryce has figured out how to tease Cason though. If Cason isn't playing with him, Bryce will grab one of his beloved items like his "Softy Blanket" or "Navy Bear" and run off with it laughing. Already knows his role as little brother! But he can also be so sweet, he knows which items are Cason's favorites and if he sees one laying around, he will grab it and walk over to Cason to give it to him saying "here, here!"
Love you Rycie!
