I've been sick for the last two days. I mean, really sick, like shivers and chills going through my body even with five huge blankets on top of me. Not. fun. I think I'm a bit better today. Thank God.

I just wanted to share two things Tyler said recently.

1. I asked Tyler to finish this sentence, "Tyler loves...." and he said trains of course. Then I asked him "Chase loves..." and he responded bubbles. (Yes, Chase does love bubbles!) Then I said, "Daddy loves..." and he said Thai food. (Yes, that is true, too!) and then I said, "Mommy loves..." and he said "Alone time." I aked him what that was and he said, "When you have mommy time and you are alone." The funny thing about this is I rarely ask for mommy time or alone time, possible like once every two months if that, so it's not like he hears those phrases a lot. I guess he remembered it from the few times I asked for it and he picked up that I love it! ;) I just had a laugh at that. Yes, I do love my alone time! I wish I could get more of it! Actually, the past two day, I got the most alone time in the last three years because I was so sick!

2. At Tyler's party, he hung out most of the time with this girl name Natalie. After the party, I asked him if Natalie was his friend and he said, "Natalie is...." and stopped himself by covering his mouth with both his hands so the words wouldn't come out. I asked him what he wanted to say and he said that he didn't want to tell me. I really had to coax him to tell me. I thought he might say that Natalie is my girlfriend, but when he finally spoke, he said sheepishly, "Natalie is beautiful." Awww...that was so cute. It's the first time he has said sometime like that about someone outside our family. I wanted to write it down so I don't forget it. Later that night, I told Jason and the first thing out of his mouth? "Thank God he's not gay." Men!
