Ummm, details please.

So Wyatt heads back to school last week for 3K.

He is a little nervous. He attaches to the back of my legs like velcro until he sees Kayce, a friend from his class last year.

At the end of the day his teacher tells me he was a little quiet, but he did good.

In the car we ask him, "What did you do in school?"

He says, "I made a funny hat."

Later he adds one more detail. "I raised my hand."

"Why?" I ask. "Were you answering a question, or volunteering for a job?"

"I just raised my hand," he said.

Ok, then.

Aunt Who?


So we discovered during a recent visit with family that a certain Aunt has a very difficult name to say.

Colt repeatedly asked where Penguin was.

Penguin?

"Aunt Engwin," he says.

Ahhh, Aunt Ingrid. He's still talking about he days after coming home!

Getting His Wings


So we are on airplane headed for Detroit.

Wyatt has the window seat.

After the captain turns off the "fasten seatbelt" sign Wyatt gets up on his knees to look out.

He turns to me with amazement and says, "Mommy we are above the clouds."

He sits back down and says with satisfaction, "We really are flying!"

(Yes, the picture is from the airport bus, but you get the point!)

The Disciplinarian



So we are at Yogurt Mountain for our weekly Saturday ice cream. GG and Pa joined us for the fun and the calories.

So midway through his birthday cake yogurt topped with sprinkles, mini m&ms, sour nerds and fruity pebbles Wyatt announces that he needs to use the potty.

I take him.

When we come back Colt is standing on his chair shaking his finger at GG. He tells us that she has been "naughty." He says, "GG in time out. Five minutes!"

What has GG done, we ask. "GG eat Mommy ice cream. GG eat Wyatt ice cream."

Apparently while we were away, GG has decided to sample everyone else's treat.

In light of this, I think Colt's punishment was light.

(FYI, GG thought Wyatt's was best!) (Mine was Snickerdoodle cookie with a dash of Rocky Road, cheesecake pieces and crushed Snickers bars.)

Giant Leap For Boykind



















So after two months of refusing to even try the diving board...Wyatt has conquered the deep end of the pool!

He followed a bigger boy who had befriended him off the board. And there was no turning back!

He went off the board dozens more times.

We asked Colt if he wanted to go too. He said, "No, me 'cared."
