Beach Dreams

After four long days at the beach, Wyatt is curled up in his own bed at home. I ask him, "Did you have fun at the beach? Do you want to go back some time?" As his eyelids get heavy he whispers, "Maybe after I wake up."

Tip Tap

So Joe is watching "This Week." Wyatt walks in and seeing the host on camera asks, "Who's that?" Joe says, "It's Jake Tapper." Wyatt responds, "What does he tap?"

Puddin' Head

So I bought some of those new Jello Pudding Mousse cups at the grocery store. Joe and I gagged ours down. Wyatt took one bite and then spent the next five minutes scooping it like mud. I said, "Are you going to eat that or just play with it?" He said, "Just play with it." I wish I'd gone that route too.

Singer/Songwriter

So Wyatt climbs on the coffee table with his electric guitar and says, "I want to sing you a song!" I ask, "What's it about?" He says, "It's about a whale in the water and a dog on the table. His name is Fleck." It was the sweetest song I've ever heard.

Work Zone

So I couldn't find Wyatt this morning. After a few minutes of searching I heard hammering and drilling inside the closet. I opened the door to find him with tools in hand and his safety googles on his head. With a look of extreme irritation on his face he yells, "Close the door, I'm working in here."

Golden Opportunities

So, I'm grocery shopping with just Wy at Bi-Lo. I'm getting apples, Fuji like always, when Wy says," Want to try those yellow apples. Three please." Golden delicious it is. Then, we are in front of the in-store TV screen and a Golden Apple promo comes on, without me in it, Wyatt giggles and says, "Look, Mommy's teachers."

After finishing his chocolate popsickle Wyatt says, "I need someone to wipe me off." You think? At least Mom was smart enough to strip him down to his Pull-ups BEFORE he ate.
