Pilot Wyatt. Copilot Daniel.



It's amazing what fun can be had with a "egg carton" airplane and some string.

DANCE!

 
 
These are from Mary Margaret's Wedding reception back in September. Wyatt's main dance partner is his cousin, Owen.
It goes without saying that they had a blast!

Traces of Wyatt

Keys lined up on the floor, from smallest to largest

 
Cave (first white pillow) into the fort, on to the slide into the "water" (little pillows)
 

"Decorations" for Christmas (blue string)
 

The fact that I have a picture of a tractor on my phone.

Boots with and without

I'm not sure why,
(maybe it's the boots) 
but there is something that is extra cute when little ones get all bundled up,
 as well as when they take most of it off.

Look up there, It's a bird, It's a plane, no, It's Wyatt.





Cats

Two sleepy boys 
 
As most of you know, Wyatt has a pet cat named Daniel. He loves Daniel, and some of the time Daniel will tolerate Wyatt's love. Everyday Wyatt feeds his cat and gives him water. We have a system now where I will pull down the bag of cat food for him with a scoop in it and fill up a watering can that he can then poor in. (This works much better than Wyatt climbing up the stepstool to get in the sink to get the water, or the times Wyatt has poured the whole bag of food out for Daniel to eat.)
At a thrift store, we picked up a tiny notebook of blank pages for him to write on that has a cat on the front of it. The other day, he was "reading" to me about what it says about cats:
"Cats eat food and drink water"
"Cats have shark claws." (no that was not a spelling error, shark= sharp)
"

And while Wyatt says we will have a dog one day, he truly loves cats.
 

Found by chance, Wyatt thinks that this is a hysterical video.

Trick or Treat (otherwise know as "Candy?")

   A few weekds before Haloween Wyatt decided that he was going to be a green dump truck with yellow sand for Halloween. Thankfully, my mind works best for artsy projects (instead of understanding written or verbal instructions) and I knew if we had a box, we could have a dump truck. Wyatt helped transform our box by assisting in the green painting as well as the sand painting.
We went trick or treating with Grant and Reid, because Wyatt thought going with Grant would be great fun. And as expected it was. The first house he went to, he held out his bag and said, "Candy?" In the square, he got to play some carnival games and slide down the big bouncy slide. And we hit the mother load trick or treating at Jack's house.


Dancing in his candy
He really loved being a dump truck, but loved getting candy even more. Since we don't eat much candy it seemed to be an incredible treat. Although it is really more the idea of candy that he likes best, as he would take a lick of more than half of his candy and discard it, saying "not good."
He also sorted out almost half of what he thought he would not like to "give to Ma's children (at school).

    
 
 
 
 
He had just as much fun counting his candy in Spanish as he did eating it :)
