Wyatt's 8 yrs old now!

My little sweetie-pie is now 8 yrs old!  

OMG!  Time flies by so quickly!!!

I was looking at his baby pics on this blog... and missing that baby so much!

I'll bake his cake in a few minutes... have that ready for him for when he gets home from school; although, we won't do anything until his dad gets home from work :)

Today is also the last day before Christmas & New Year's Vacation :)

Oh, we bought him a bow and arrow set from Academy for his birthday :D  He's always talking about wanting a bow and arrow gun (that's what he calls crossbows)... we wanted to get him a basic bow first; let him learn on that before moving to the crossbow :D  I think he'll be thrilled! :D

Update on him:

He still likes snuggling with me on the sofa :)
He wears a 7/8 slim pants
Size 1 shoe
size 7/8 shirt
he's 48.5" tall

weighs 48.5 lbs

(Crazy how those two mmeasurements are the same, huh?)

He still has a hard time with "r" words and words ending with "er"... hehe  He actually probably sounds a lot like I did when I was a little kid!  I used to say, "puss" for "purse" and he does too... He's very aware of it and tries to correct himself and sometimes just says he can't say it.  He gets teased at school because of it.  However, it doesn't seem to bother him.  Everyday, I ask him how was school and everyday he says it was great... ha ha ha  He doesn't come home sad or upset looking... usually he has a smile on his face :D

He's doing ok in school... making about a "C" average... last year he had practically straight "A's" on all his tests... this year.... it's been harder... It's probably because of that Common Core curriculum; no one likes it.

Flea/Fly Football Time

Last night, they had their first practice.  They'll be practicing Tuesdays and Thursdays until the game... which they said will be the first Sunday in November... which means it will coincide with the Voodoo Fest!!!  :( :( :(

Stuff Wyatt Says

So, the other day, while we were in GA, I wake up but stay on the mattress.  Wyatt wakes up shortly and hugs me than says, "I'm going to do what you usually do in the mornings".  I'm thinking that he means to go pee and get coffee... ha ha ha  So, I ask what is it that I usually do?  He says, "I'm going to leave you by yourself while I get up!"  heh heh heh  I tell him I only do that so that he can sleep longer! :)

Another day, he comes up and hugs me.  He tells me, "I like giving you random hugs!"  And I'm like, yeah, I like your hugs :)  Then he says, "You give me random hugs... but, its kind of obvious because I can hear you tip toe behind me." :D  ha ha ha  The words he says...

Update on Wyatt

My sweetie-pie, Wyatt, is doing soooo well in school!  I'm sooo impressed with his education!  He brings home "A's" in spelling!!!  woohoo!  The only thing he may have a slight problem is with math... funny, huh, being a male and all... :D

He's 7 and in 1st grade :)  He still likes to snuggle with me on the sofa; he'll ask me if we can snuggle on the weekends :)  His hair is cut short bc he wanted it that way; wanted it army man style!  So, we didn't do it quite that extreme... tried to modernize it :)

He loves  his Christmas gift; which is a DSi XL :)  It came with Mario Kart preloaded - which is an awesome deal!  You can't buy any Mario games cheap nowadays!!!  For any game system!

He loves to do front flips on the trampoline.  He's attempting back flips too.  What he does is bounce on his back first and try to flip back... doesn't have it yet... but, I don't think it'll take him long to do that. :)

Very social!  Likes showing off...ha ha  Loves hugs... even from his sisters :)  He dances :)  Likes the Ben 10 shows.  He still mispronounces some words... more like mispronounces certain sounds... like the 'er' sound is more like 'or'. Loves our animals (2 Pits, cat, and Guinea Pig).
