“Back in the 80′s…”

Saturday afternoon Rachel, her sister, Bekah, Wyatt and I were out hanging Halloween decorations on the house. It was a bright sunny day and while I was up hanging one of those goofy witch-ran-into-the-house decorations, Rachel and Bekah were shading their eyes with their hands. Out of nowhere, Wyatt begins talking about how some hunters, “back in the 80′s would put their hands over their eyes like that.”

We looked at each other and our little 5 year old and had the biggest laugh we’ve had in a long time! Just thought I’d share that little story with you all.

Smile!

This morning was really cool. In the few moments while rushing around to get ready for school, Wyatt and I were able to really connect. It was a great morning too. It’d been raining so it was darker and just very mellow. I had to urge him a bit to get him up and ready. We sat down together on the rocker in the front room. We cuddled for a bit and then I started playing with him like we did when he was very little. I asked him where his nose was and his elbows and did that for a bit. Then I told him we used to do this thing where he would be sitting up on my lap. I would hold his hands in mine and while lifing him say, “How big is Wyatt??” Then as he would stand, “Sooo Big!!” It was just fun to remember how little he really was when he was only a few months old. Then we played a quick game that Rachel made up where I take his hands and clap them together while singing, “Clap, clap, clap your hands! Do-da-doo-da-doo!” It was all very cute and fun.

I was finding myself very blessed and grateful that Heavenly Father blessed us with a child before all this garbage with hormones reared its ugly head. I truly love my little guy! He is so fun to play and cuddle with!

Wyatt’s 1st Day!

Life, Main

Kindergarten started yesterday (9/4)! Today is the 2nd day of school for the little fella. From early reviews by WJM, he loved it! His teacher, Miss Sharon, has been teaching kindergarten at that center for many years and from some previous student’s parents opinions, she is just great.

Apparently, one of Rachel’s coworkers had one of his kids attend kindergarten about 5 years ago and was able to test straight into 2nd grade! We hope Wyatt can get into first grade, that would be perfect.

It happened again…

According to KSL.com, another child ran away from the daycare center Wyatt attends. The article mentions Wyatt’s incident and the resulting installation of cowbells on the door. This time, the kid actually ran across the street which is generally busy and a blind curve. Apparently, the mother works at the business across the street. The kid was looking for her room after using the restroom, got lost in the center and went to the place she knew mommy would be. Thankfully, the child was unharmed but what a terrifying experience.
