Two and a Half

I can't believe it has already been six months since Wyatt turned two.  It is so hard to describe what a fun kid Wyatt is.  He does and says the cutest things.  He seems to cover both ends of the spectrum in a lot of situations, he is shy and social, he is rough and so sweet, he is happy and moody, he is strong and sensitive.  He constantly makes me laugh.  He has started yelling "FINE" a lot (thanks to his two older siblings.) I don't know why, but it makes me laugh every time. He loves to be silly and make Caitlyn and Jonah laugh. When we do family scripture reading Keith will read a verse and Wyatt will repeat it back.  Sometimes when he wants a laugh he will say something weird at the end of each phrase.  Last time he added, "shut the door" onto every phrase.  Last night for prayer he said, "Please bless we don't have sleepy time."

He is a great sport when I take his picture.  He asks me to take his picture a lot.  He loves to sing.  It is amazing how much kids pick up on.  I always hear him singing along to the radio in the car.  He knows all of his letters (thank you Super Why!) He loves to play games.  He loves electronics.  He loves the kids mp3 players, dad's IPAD and mom's kindle.  He will sometimes sneak into our room and play the IPAD.  When he has been quiet I will ask him what he is doing and he will say, "uummm, nothing."  When I tell him he has to ask first he says, "Oh, Okay," like he didn't know and it is the first time he has heard it. He has started asking all of us, "will you be my friend?" He loves to call my mom and my sister to ask, "if they can come over my house."  The other day my dad came over to drop something off and in his sweetest voice he said, "grandpa, will you play with me?"  Grandpa couldn't say no to that.  Wyatt loves to wrestle all of the sudden.  He will go up behind Caitlyn or Jonah and just grab them and try to get them to the floor.  It is so funny to watch. Wyatt is a very positive kid.  He says he loves whatever we are doing.  The other day I was cutting potatoes and he was putting them on the pan and he said, "my love making potatoes."  He says that about whatever we are doing. He has started bringing in his fake keys and saying, "I got to go mom."  Today he said, "I got to go pick up mister potato head, don't follow me, okay mom." He is obsessed with Mr. Potato head.  He is always playing some form of Mr. Potato head.  He also draws him on his magna doodle all day.  He asks me to draw Mr. Potato head and when I try he says, "that's not Mr. Potato head mom."  He is not impressed with my drawing skills, luckily Keith can draw really well.

 He loves when we go shopping at Walmart because we will usually stop at McDonald's and he will get a hamburger.  He loves to sit in a booth and we enjoy a little lunch date.  We have started going to story time at the library and he loves that.  He is always asking to go to the library now.  I am so grateful for this sweet boy.  I love him and I love spending time with him.
