10-years-old

This handsome guy will be 10-years-old tomorrow.  It is crazy how quickly he has grown up.  He is looking older and more handsome every day. 

Wyatt and I went to Nelson's grove to take pictures this week.  Wyatt hates taking pictures so I promised him that it would be short and sweet.  He was so cooperative and we were done in record time.

Wyatt is such a fun kid.  He loves to laugh and have fun.  He especially loves to laugh and be goofy with Jonah.  He looks up to Jonah so much and he feels so special when Jonah spends time with him.

Wyatt is very intelligent, he loves to learn new things.  He loves to learn facts about animals and he wants to learn how to do complex math problems. He likes to read if he is interested in the book. 

Wyatt is always making goofy faces. This is one of his favorite ones to make when he has said something funny.

This is another face he makes a lot. 

Wyatt is a rule follower.  He really wants to do the right thing and he feels bad when he does something he shouldn't. He used to feel so bad that he would think or say bad things about himself, but he is getting a lot better about that.  We are always reassuring him that he is a great kid.  It makes me happy that I can see that he is starting to know that.

Wyatt loves break dancing, it has been such a great fit for him.  He loves to go to class each week and he works on his moves at home.  He doesn't like a lot of attention so he has to be in the right mood to show us his moves. I love watching him dance and I'm always asking him to show me what he is learning.

It has been so good for him to have soccer and break dancing.  This quarantine has been hard for him. He is a home body, but he has definitely missed the social interactions at school and church. He has been a lot more social lately.  I'm so grateful he has Rockwell so close by!

Wyatt loves animals, especially penguins and dogs.  Jackson is a calming presence for Wyatt.  When Wyatt is sad or upset he will hold Jackson.

Wyatt loves watching YouTube videos.  He loves watching ones with trick shots, pranks and anything with Unspeakable. He also loves to play video games, especially Minecraft.

Wyatt is obsessive.  He gets obsessed with different things and he loves them for a short time and then he moves on to something else.  He loves to exercise.  He loves to use his pull up bar and our elliptical machine.

Wyatt is a kind, compassionate kid.  He worries about other people and their feelings.  He is a great friend and is nice to everyone. He is hard working, when he sets his mind to something he will work really hard to achieve it.  He loves to do big jobs.  He mowed the whole lawn last week and always offers to help me with jobs. Wyatt loves chicken, broccoli and dr. pepper.

We are so blessed to have Wyatt in our family.
