Wyatt

I think it's about time to update all of the kids' latest sayings and doings...surprised that the last post with them was way back in April! So for Wyatt, here are the latest notes I've taken in the past 6 months. I love his zany sense of humor, his laid-back personality, and his loving heart!

Wyatt got tired early on our bike ride/walk with the double stroller. Soon after we left the house he said, “I need to get my energy IN…all of my energy flew away from me at home” and took a seat on the double stroller. J

Wyatt was SO excited tonight that we would be able to look through a REAL telescope when we are camping this summer (I’m bringing mine). He talked to me about it in bed tonight with wide eyes and awe and wonder in his voice. "Am I going to get to see the HEAVENS with the telescope??” “I can’t wait to get to the cabin and look through the telescope!!!”

Wyatt is so cute when we gets up from bed and comes in and out….he always starts out with, “Well, ya’ see, actually, you know, I need to tell you somethin’…” (with a cute little tongue-click sprinkled throughout!)

Wyatt loves to play “accomplished baby” sometimes with me…he pretends to be a baby and then shows me all of the amazing things this accomplished baby can do….like talking, walking, etc.

Wyatt loves to try different foods. Yesterday we gave him a whole artichoke to eat all by himself for the first time, and he actually did a pretty good job eating it! At the store he specially requested corn (he loves to shuck it), peaches, and grapes.

Wyatt: Today at 5-Day Club, Wyatt had memorized John 3:16 so he got to choose a prize. He chose a pair of 80's neon yellow and black big sunglasses. On the way home, he said, "I love these sunglasses so much, I want to keep them until I go to heaven!!"

Wyatt also frequently says he loves everyone in the whole world soooo much! Today he said that he sends it to each person in each state, and made blowing sounds over and over. I asked if that was him sending his love and he said yes. J Little sweetie.

I recently discovered that Garrett and Wyatt have a little game they play that they call the Santa Clause Game – they sneak into each other’s rooms at night and put pennies under each other’s pillows. Garrett says he does it while Wyatt is sleeping, and I assume Wyatt does it before they are going to bed because that’s what he did tonight.

A collection of quotes from the past few months:

Wyatt: “Dr. Vacuum is the friendly sucker-upper!”

“Wade obeyed you! That’s called a baby miracle!!”

While watching me change Wade’s diaper and put Desitin on Wyatt was very sympathetic and said, “A diaper rash is like a fan blade whipping against you.”

I got the kids a learning snake toy that teaches them to fasten different kinds of things, and when it’s all fastened you have a snake toy! I showed it to Wyatt, and let him do it in the living room. Later in the day I realized it was all over the room. He told me he had “cut off its head so it won’t bite us” and that was on the secretary. Another part was lashed to a chair leg with a very elaborate knot!

Me: “Wyatt, what would help you stay dry at night?”

Wyatt: “Well, putting leaves under my pillow.”

On his own after I made him a place to hide out, he came to me and said with a beaming face, “Mom, thank you for making me one of those hide-out covers! ‘Cause I needed one of those!”

“I love you as much as God does! There’s no end to my love! Unless God snips my love wire.”

Wyatt sneezed, and I said, “Bless you, my dear.” He said with a dreamy voice, “I love it when you say that. It makes me feel like you love everyone in the whole world!”

Frequently loves to announce that he loves everyone in the whole world.

Me, reading a book about space to the boys: “Several major countries have agreed that space belongs to everyone.”

Wyatt: “No it doesn’t! Space belongs to the Lord!”

Jim: “Where do the Easter baskets come from?”

Wyatt: “There’s a magic bunny called the Torticollus bunny.”

Likes to talk about “zero” in terms of “zero times,” etc.

Put a thumb in his mouth and said, “This is a musical suck-strament.”

When a miracle happens in one of the Bible lessons in the Children’s Bible, he gets so excited! His eyes light up, he laughs open-mouthed, and yells, “That was a miracle!!!!!”
