My youngest is three today. How in the heck did that happen? OK, quick...before I get all weepy...
A few things about Wyatt:
- Wyatt is so adventurous. He does everything his older brothers do (climbing, skateboarding, swimming) despite being just shy of three years younger than they. I swear he'd get on the school bus and ride it all the way and back again if I let him.
- Wyatt is brave, oh so brave! He is the first to volunteer for anything - no fear baby! He was the first to go off the diving board at my Aunt Karen's house last summer, the first to ride the horses, the first to climb at the Rock Gym a few weeks ago.
- Wyatt looks more and more like his daddy everyday (only with that blond hair).
- Wyatt is funny and so silly. He tells goofy knock, knock jokes. His joke this morning: "Knock, knock?" "Who's there". "Orange". "Orange who?" "Orange you glad you don't have orange juice in your hair?" Yes, I am Wyatt. Goofy kid.
- Wyatt has started ACTING like three as well. And boy is he a great actor. He often gets caught bugging the heck out of his older brothers and then playing the victim after one of them puts him in his place.
- Wyatt loves, loves birds and tells me all the time he wishes he could fly like a cardinal.
- Wyatt's prayer at every meal since S's deployment has been "Dear God, I love my dad. Amen" Every single prayer.
- And finally, he loves his brothers more than anything in the world and still crawls into bed with one of them when he wakes up in the night.
We're waiting to have his party when his papa gets home (which should be soon), but have been celebrating for the past week just between the four of us.
Happy Birthday Wyatt, my funny, sensitive, soulful, snugly bugly, awesome, adventurous, brave...oh, so very brave, beautiful child!!! I cant wait to see what the next year brings. Thank you for choosing me to be your Mama!
