Transition From Our Bed...

OMG... its amazing! Wyatt sleeps with his sisters now!!! And it wasn't hard at all to transition him there!!! The first night was the worst... Jeremy told him to go to be with the girls... he cried, tried to cling to me, Jeremy took him from me... we gave him kisses and Calista took his hand and led him to the room. We heard him crying for maybe 10 minutes... probably not that long... and then silence. All 3 were sleeping. The next two nights, he cried/complained but, less time being upset in bed... by night 4, he told us good-night, brushed his teeth, and went to bed with the girls with no fuss whatsoever! Now, there's usually some talking, laughing, etc after they go to bed... but, it usually doesn't last more than 10-15 minutes and then they're all sleeping. We've been having them go to bed at 9:30pm.

Well... last night... it was so crazy... Jeremy & I were watching a movie (Pearl Harbor) and it was quiet... I asked Calista, "Where's your brother?" Jeremy and Calista both got up to look for him... Wyatt had went to the girls' bedroom, laid down in bed, and pulled the covers over his head (light was on)!!! Jeremy lifted the cover to view him and Wyatt pulled the cover back down! hehehe They came out telling me that Wyatt went to bed! So, we went back in there, lifted the cover, and told him good-night, gave him kisses, and left. I checked back a few minutes later and he was sleeping! hehehe It was sooooo cute! And amazing! hehehe Neither Calista NOR Ursula was that easy to get out of bed or bedroom!!!

Side note... this is the first time since Calista's birth we've had the bed to ourselves fulltime!!! wow!!!! Now, sometimes, Wyatt will wake up around 5am and come to bed with us... not bad :D

I'm just sooooo weirded out about it... he he he I feel like Pink... "who knew?" (it would be so easy)... he he he

Trying to get cute pics of Wyatt is not as easy as you'd think... Take a look at the proof below and you'll understand why I take sooooo many pictures... ha ha ha

Wyatt's 3 yrs old (well... for over a month now! lol)

Some stuff about Wyatt:

He says, "That's what I'm talking about" or his version of it... I think he got it from Madagascar... Marty the Zebra says that, I think...
Says: yep!, where did that come from?, pwease!, I said 'pwease!'
Wants to watch DVD after DVD... such as Surf's Up, Cars, Madagascar (1&2), Ice Age the Meltdown, Kung Fu Panda, Hellboy (1&2), Harry Potter, Iron Man, & Star Wars.
Its so great to hear him laughing at the cartoons :D Its soooo cute :D He really is a cutie :D he he
He tries hopping on one foot :D
We bought him a little bicycle with training wheels for his 3rd bday and it didn't take him more than a week to figure out how to pedal it :) He rides that thing all around the house... he's figured out how to make it go faster and then stop pedaling to allow it to coast :D He'll coast around the corners of the kitchen table :D
Oh, how could I forget this... he's the 'flusher'... yes... anytime he hears someone going to the bathroom, he just HAS to flush the toilet!!! LOL He gets all upset if he can't!

Catching up with Older Pics...

Since I took a break (for unknown reasons... why do I do this to myself??? lol), I'm uploading some pics I took of Wyatt since the last entry in September.

Jeremy had to buy a new tire for his motocycle... so, he used his old one to make a little tire swing for the kids :)

Showing how long his hair was at the time... he had gotten it cut since then... but if you look at his newer pics, its almost like this again! lol

Halloween... his 2nd time (and last!) using this cute little costume :)

These pics were taken at the girls' school for cheerleading practice.

Here he is, in action, at Calista's cheerleading practice.

Another 'Cheese Me!' Moment

Sometimes Wyatt will just want me to take pictures of him... lol He'll point at my camera case and say, "Cheese Me, mom" :D I'll ask him if wants me to take a picture of him and he'll nod his smiling head vigorously :D Of course, he wants to see them instantly on my preview screen :)
So, here are some from today:

Throwing signs again... no idea why he does this... but, he's been doing things like this with his fingers for a long time now...

Huh?

Of course, what's a set of pictures without one with a tongue sticking out?

He's an Aspiring Guitar Hero

He came to me with the GH3 guitar (strap around his neck) and the game box... "pwease, mom, pway" :)
So, I put it in :) Of course he only hit notes coincidently... but, he enjoyed himself :)

Peeing in the Grass

Good ole morning pee... lol


"Pee grass, mom" "Sure son, go ahead"
This is most mornings... :)

Another 'Cheese Me!' Moment

Standing on the soloflex... lol

Just Because...

Playing in the Dirt

Its so funny how he lays down to play... the girls never did that!
I thought he was gonna go to sleep! lol

Same pic, obviously... but, I like how it looks in B&W so, I posted it :D

His Personality Right Now

Okay... here's some things he does or says at 31 mths old:

Sometimes, if you ask him something or ask him to do something, he'll lower his head, act like he gives up, and says, "Bine!" (fine!) lol But, he smiles afterward.

He'll act like he's upset and sigh... smiles afterwards... he folds his arms across his chest... smiles when you look at him...

He'll have something in one hand... then put both behind his back and want you to guess which hand he has that 'something' in... but, he'll change hands... and bring out an empty hand... he also teases... goes to hand you something and right before you grab it, he takes it away... ha ha ha

He's still a little charmer. If he sees me fussing his sisters, he'll start kissing me... lol Hard to stay mad when a little one is kissing you and trying to get you to smile. :)

When we say, "I love you, Wyatt" he replies, "a'too, mom/daddy/etc".

Says: My turn, Eat, pee-pee/poo on potty, kitty, tells our neighbor, "bye Jenn", jeep, car, play, me play, me, hey, what doing?, tea?, drink, etc... he's saying a lot of stuff...

He drives that PowerWheels Jeep perfectly!!! lol Its so cute! Like when I am mowing the grass, he'll drive around me.

Oh, I've written how he likes all the typical 'boy' things... like guns, cars, knives, etc... well, his latest thing is to pretend he's dead... he goes all limp and says, "I dead". I pick him up and tell him, "No! You're alive!" and then he'll either say he's dead again or say, "I live?" and I'll say, 'yes, you're alive' :D

You would swear that he was a sniper in a past life... lol He'll take anything, a stick, a pretend gun, his finger, and hide behind something, peek out, and then make a shooting sound...

Potty-Trained

I think I can safely say that Wyatt's potty-trained :D woohoo!
Its so cute when he climbs up on the potty :D
But, he's been in underwear for a few weeks now.

Oh, that was him on his potty... I've put that one up in the closet and he's now using the regular one :)

He just turned 31 mths old... he's actually trained faster than his sisters... and all on his own... meaning, his own idea :D

Wyatt in June 2008

A First!!!

He took a nap all by himself today!!!

This happened after coming home from Curves. He asked to watch Cars. I put it in, he got a blanket and covered himself up. Next thing you know, he was sleeping!!! hehehe
So cute :D

Usually, he takes a nap but I have to nurse him first :)

Paint...

Wyatt decided to paint himself... good thing it was latex paint... came off easily... But, this is what happened when I asked Jeremy to watch him while I paint the girls' bedroom... He actually is totally pink/purple from his chest to his toes... EVERYWHERE... I have pics, but I don't think I should post them... lol

Update on the Potty

Wyatt pooped on his potty today!!! TWICE!!! woohoo!!!

I had left the kid with Jeremy while I went to Curves for my workout... well, when I came back, Jeremy showed me the poop still in the kiddie potty and told Wyatt to come show me... so, Wyatt went to the bathroom, brought out the inner part of the potty to show it to me :D He was all, "poo poo!" :D hehehe

Then, while I was home, he went back to the bathroom, pooped again, but this time, he came out with the inner part, empty... he had already flushed it :D hehe

Had I known he was gonna decide to potty-train himself, I wouldn't have bought the big box of Huggies!!! lol So, so far, I bought him 3 packages of underwear :) His newest has characters from Cars on it :D Speaking of Cars, while picking up the underwear, he spotted a Cars baseball cap, picked up and put it on his head :D It was so cute, that we bought it for him :D hehehe

Going back to the potty... if he's without diaper or underwear, he'll go potty every time. If he has either one of those on, there's about a 50/50 chance of going potty.

Potty Training

Well, it looks like Wyatt's ready to get rid of his diapers! He actively takes them off. And while they're off, he'll go, on his own, to the kiddie potty :D A few times, he has even closed the door... even locked it (its easy to open from the outside, so, that's not too much of a problem).

Last night, he didn't want to put his diaper on... but, I didn't want to wake up to pee (because even though he is usually dry in the mornings... ya never know...)... but, finally consented to me putting one one him. Well, this morning, before he was fully awake and still nursing... he took his diaper off... LOL It was dry.

I'm glad I didn't push him into peeing on the potty! He was so resistant! I'd sit him on it and he'd straighten his legs, scream, cry, and get up... like it was the worse thing I could have done to him! So, I didn't do that too often... I just put him on the potty a handful of times, just so that he knows that where to go if he wanted to pee...

He just decided, on his own (28 mths), that he wanted to pee on the potty :D woohoo! Actually, this is about the time the girls were potty-training too! Funny how that happened... I've read and heard from others that boys take longer to train... guess we'll see :D

As long as he's naked, he pees on the potty. I put underwear on him and he peed in them... but showed me... lol He's not really pulling down his pants yet.

March 6, 2008

Yes, I know... its been a while since I've blogged... :)
Sorry!
But, here's Wyatt from yesterday.
Jeremy cut his hair the day before... but, unlike the first time Jeremy cut his hair, he wasn't quite as still and... well, if you look above his ears... he has that late 80's, early 90's no-sideburns look... yeah... lovely, huh?
I think I'll do it next time... I can't be any worse, huh? Guess we'll see.
His hair still looks like Hitler... LOL Its just growing that way. His hairline is high.

Its still hard to get good pics of Wyatt... he sees my camera and takes off... or looks away.

His likes: guns, punching, cars/trucks, planes, kicking, Cars (movie), Garfield (movie), Happily Never After (movie), horses (calls them "yea ha's")...

His dislikes: rinsing his hair... HATES it!, pepperoni (takes them off his pizza), and gives me a hard time changing his diaper.
