My Myles

I haven't said much about Myles for a while and had some pictures I wanted to share. Myles brings so much excitement to our family. While the other boys are content to play for hours by themselves, Myles needs constant entertainment and excitement. Aside from computer games and Plants v. Zombies on my ipad, he loves playing Monopoly, Battleship, and counting his money. He is OBSESSED with math and the easiest way to keep him entertained and challenged is to print out 2nd and 3rd grade math worksheets and leave him alone to complete them. He LOVES kindergarten and comes home everyday telling me everything he learned. He especially loves music and every few days he is singing a new song that he picked up somewhere. He and Max have developed a great friendship over the last few months and he has learned to be appropriately gentle with Max. Whenever Max is upset, Myles knows he can get Max to laugh by fake-tripping and Max thinks it is the funniest thing ever.

I've said before that Myles is the most cuddly of my kids and my favorite part of the day is getting hugs from him. He just has a way of wrapping his entire body around me and squeezing just the right tightness!

Last Friday was the 100th day of school and his kindergarten class got to dress as though they were 100 years old. Myles talked about it for weeks and knew he wanted a "grandpa sweater, mustache, and cane" and even practiced walking hunched over and slowly. 

Myles had a great time decorating his valentine's box for school. I first wrapped a box in gold paper for him to decorate, thinking he would object to pink. But he had a big fit and insisted that gold wasn't a valentines color and it had to be pink. Mason, on the other hand wouldn't let a scrap of pink paper touch his box. Myles also loved the Star Wars valentines (printed off of pinterest with glow sticks attached) and carefully wrote his name on 25 of them.
