My Baby is 7

When did that happen? I swear it was just yesterday that Wyatt was born, he was my only child born a week early all the others were late so he was a surprise. He has completed our family. He is quick witted and funny. He "gets' things most 7 year olds wouldn't. I tell "Wyatt stories" on a regular basis to my classes. Favorites and most recent include...

• when he told me "Mom my stripe hurts" what I ask - he them turns around and points to his butt-crack. Well I guess it does look like a stripe in a mirror.

• I am so glad Wyatt came to our family he regularly entertains us and he tries so hard to be good, even though he told me once that "he doesn't know how" (to be good that it). His 1st grade teacher loves him, she says she calls on him a lot because she wants to know what he has to say, but didn't realize how often until another girls asked why she always called on Wyatt.

• The other day I asked his primary teacher how Wyatt did, they had just switched classes, and he said "good, well maybe good isn't the right word. Oh no I thought, his teacher said that he was sitting next to Kami, (Wyatt has a crush on her although he will never admit it) anyway they weren't paying attention like they should and flirting like 6 -7 year olds will and they had gotten reprimanded a few times. The lesson was on keeping the commandments and the teacher had them all write a commandment they will try to keep this week. I was hoping he wrote "honor thy father and thy mother." Nope he wrote, "Stay away from Kami".

• Just today during sacrament meeting, he leans in and tells me "I wish this was only an hour, 30 minutes for this,(sacrament meeting) 20 for class and 10 minutes for that other thing (sharing time) then I can get home and play with my toys. I tend to agree with him on things :) I love this boy of mine.

I think he had a good b-day. it started Friday when he got home from school to find a new horse just for him, Anakin. Wyatt is our cowboy and loves to ride him. Then Saturday Grandma and Grandpa Goodman came out and brought him M&M's and $14, the grand kids get twice their age. He had a few friends over that night for a party, we rode horses, played with the puppies, jumped on the tramp, had a fire and BBQ hot dogs. Then Sunday, his real birthday, he opened more presents and had more cake. Who could ask for more.
