Wyatt at 3 years 3 months

Oh Wyatt, how do I even put into words how to describe you!! Let's just start by saying you are one in a million buddy!! You are now 3 years 3 months and as feisty as ever!

You've really been enjoying having your brother home this summer! You two just play and play and play! You never seemed to play on your own when he was at school, but now that he's home, you two get into the most elaborate (and messy!) games! Usually involving Imaginext, Rescue Bots, and Switch N Go Dinos. There's always Legos, Beanie Babies, and Tinkertoys in the mix as well! You two have your fights, which we  are trying to teach you how to solve on your own- which usually means Grant giving in to whatever you want. You're kind of a bossy and stubborn little brother. You will never know how lucky you are to have a big brother who is so flexible! But you two are the best of friends!

You haven't quite liked the pool like you did last year. You're still very cautious, even with your life jacket on. And you definitely don't like to be splashed or get your face wet. Last year, you were jumping off the dock three feet into the lake, but I can't quite imagine that happening this year. We've probably been to the pool a dozen times already, so hopefully you'll warm up to it sooner than later.

You are still such a mommy's boy. You need to be near me or on me, unless you're playing with your brother. But you have to sit on my lap to watch TV, play the iPad, eat a snack. You have to sit on the counter while I'm preparing meals or snacks. You like to stand on the toilet seat as I'm getting my makeup on. You're just a mommy's boy and I still love it!

You still suck your thumb something terrible! And recently, you started chewing on your lovey too. But that lovey is practically glued to your hand at all times. It goes in the car with us, and it goes to friends houses, its everywhere with us!! The worst is when I have to wash it and you just cry and cry until its in your hands again! Sheesh, that is going to be one habit hard to break!!

You still love doing your homework and sitting with us while Grant does his summer homework. You aren't quite adventurous as you used to be in school work- I give you something and you say, "That's too hard for me." Or "I can't do it good enough." Hopefully you'll snap out of that by fall, because you're going to preschool!!

You're a shy guy when people talk to you in public. You always want to be held and tuck your head into my shoulder. You still have your moments at church when you don't like going into your classroom. Some days you walk in and don't even look back, other days you cry and cry and cry. You do like the 3 year old room much better than the 2 year old room! I just hope you like preschool next year, since its in the same room! But having your brother with you next year will probably help alot!

You say the funniest things! You've been playing with expressions, and you use them quite appropriately. You talk in funny voices, walk in funny ways, and you're always the first to tell a goofy knock knock joke that never makes any sense, but we all laugh anyway! You are such a goofball!

You are 29 pounds and 36 inches.You wear 3t shirts and mostly 2t and 24 month shorts, although you do have a few 3t pairs. You finally grew into a size 8 shoe. You like sleeping in only shorts at bedtime, which is so adorable! I just love your soft skin! You've been completely potty trained since a few months before you turned 3, including nights. So that's been totally amazing! Lately you've been so busy playing with your brother, you've been having a few small accidents, so hopefully this is not something you make a habit of. 

You are just an amazing, adorable, and big attitude little boy and we love you so very much!
