My Dill~

I have never met a child that lives more in the moment than Dylan. He is always thinking, making up new inventions, how to improve things, and creating new companies. I would love to have his motivation and energy! Some examples: JW and I were looking under the hood of the van and no sooner here comes Dill with his Big-O-Tire shirt and hat (thanks to Jackie who works there) his tire gauge and clipboard with a drawing of the van and what things he was going to check for us. Then the other day we had a man come and give us a bid for a fence and here comes Dylan with his clipboard, tape measure, and calculator ready to help the guy out. The man started to chuckle and said, "I better watch out he might take my job". Everyday I have to go to his bank, post office, or Paperworks City and every time I have to fill out these forms that he has made with my name, "money number", items that I want to buy, and I always have to sign it. The other day I had to FED-EX something and I grabbed a couple of extra mailing slips, he was so excited. We got home and Sophie's buggie was now his FED-EX truck and I had to fill out the slip and I had to ship something. We had to make a special trip to the "real" bank the other day (small town, it's down the street) to get more deposit slips because he was out. He is also building a road outside. He has used PVC pipe, and landscaping pipe that he has put underneath the dirt for water and gas lines. He uses little orange cones to direct the other kids off of his road until it is finished. He is too much and the imagination is endless, and I love it!!! And that was just this week!! I never know what he is going to come up with next. I heart Dylan!!!

10 things that Dylan gets REALLY excited about~

1) Paper (he loves it)
2) Envelopes (he cuts them in half so he can have two)
3) Tape (his Grandpa & Grannie Joan keep him supplied)
4) Clip boards (every six year old needs a clip board right?)
5) Pamphlets (any kind, his eyes light up like he is in a candy store)
6) Business cards (I am constantly saying, "It's just for my son.")
7) PVC pipe (he has spent his own money to buy it)
8) Staples and Staplers (can you imagine when I vacuum his room)
9) Home Depot How To books (ie: Decks, flooring, roofing, ect.)
10)Flowers (he took 30 minutes to pick out the right ones.)

He cracks me up. He is defiantly one of a kind. I heart Dylan!
