Fire

Wyatt likes fire. In Flagstaff, we gather wood and build fires in our fire pit. We also burn our garbage there.

So we were reading Goodnight Moon tonight and he always likes to point at the things in the book and either tell me what they are or have me tell him.

He points to the fire and says "Fire" (which sounds more like BAR, but I know what it means). I say "RIGHT! And what do they burn in the fire?" expecting him to point to the wood pile next to it and say "Wood".

But he says "Baj" (Garbage). Hahahahhaha. I laughed and laughed.

We went to storytime yesterday. They have a little table with plastic frogs and lizards in it. You hold a magnet under the table and you can make the frogs and lizards move around.

A little girl was playing with it and Wyatt was entranced. He kept yelling "FROG!" FROG" and the girl would make the frogs go into this tunnel on the table. When they went in, Wyatt would ask "Is? Is?" and I would say "They are in the tunnel!" and he would say "YEH!!!!"

It was funny. He also didn't like it when she'd make the lizard go in there. I guess it was for frogs only! Every time the lizard went in, Wyatt would start yelling "MOOF! MOOF! MOOF!" (Move). Today, he was telling me the story again... "MOOF! MOOF!" and I said "What needs to move?" He just kept saying "MOOF!" and I said "OOOHHHHH, the lizard?" "YEH!!!"

Another funny thing. There was a lady outside the library cleaning the windows. She had a squeegee on a stick that must have been 15 feet long doing the top windows. Wyatt walked up to the library looking at rocks and such as usual when he noticed the squeegee. He stopped in his tracks, got all wide-eyed, and said "Wowwwwwww." LOL

He also put a slinky on his arm today, twisted his arm as if showing it off, and said "Watch." I asked "Ohh, is that your watch?" and he giggled and said "Uh huh".

He makes me laugh. I need to remember to record all these silly things he does.

Words

Wyatt now knows most of his colors. He can easily tell you if something is red, purple, orange, black, or yellow. He's starting to get blue and green and white. He loves pointing out what color things are.

Other words that are pretty new:

"All gone."
"Beep" (Jeep)
"truck"
"CAR!!!" (said with enthusiasm if one is coming toward us while we are walking)
"Baj" (garbage)
"Mailbox"
"Chapstick" (easy to decipher because he does the hand movement of putting chapstick on when he says it)
"Earrings" (he loves taking my earrings out for me)
"Couch"
"Bib" (crib)

I am sure there are more.

He is also starting to put words together to form an idea. Like he wanted his red blanket tonight and instead of just saying "Menket! Menket!", he said "Mama! Menket. Red." telling me to go get it for him. LOL.

Singing in the rain, just siiiiinging in the rain!

Ok, so we weren't really singing this time.

But we got a freak rain (of course - since it was the night I was going to go out and look for Perseid meteors!)

I opened the door to show Wyatt and he got so excited (we don't see rain often) so we went outside. It ended up being a nice warm rain, so we hung out there for a while. We walked up and down the street and splashed in the gutters and he LOVED it.

Finally he started saying "Brrr! Brr!" I asked, "Are you cold" "Yeh!" So I started toward the house and he said "No! No! Rain! Rain!" LOL

So we stayed out in it a few more minutes, then went in for a warm bath.

I will buy you a new life (as sung in my car today)

No parentheses = Crystal and Everclear singing.

=================

Here is the money that I owe you (you!)
So you can pay the bills (billll)
I will give you more
When I get paid again

I hate those people who love to tell you (youuu)
Money is the root of all that kills
They have never been poor
They have never had the joy of a welfare christmas (MAS!)

Yeh (YEaaaaah!)
I know we will never look back
Yeh (Yeeeeh!)

You say you wake up crying (cry!)
Yes and you dont know why
You get up and you go lay down
Inside my babys room (ROOM!)

I guess Im doing ok (ooookaaay!)
I moved in with the strangest guy
Can you believe he actually thinks
That Im really alive (lif!)

I will buy you a garden
Where your flowers can bloom (boom)
I will buy you a new car
Perfect shiny and new
I will buy you that big house (house!)
Way up in the west hills
I will buy you a new life
Yes I will

Yes, I know all about that other guy (guy!)
The handsome man with athletic thighs
I know about all the times before
With that obsessive little rich boy

They might think you think you're happy
Yeah maybe for a minute or two (two)
They cant make you laugh
No they cant make you feel the way that I do

=========================

There are about 4 Everclear songs on my MP3 cd, and Everclear sings "YEAH" a lot in their songs and Wyatt matched them yeah for yeah. It was hilarious and I was trying so hard not to laugh as I was singing.

I love that boy.

Wyatt!!!!

Wyatt had a rough night. He kept crying and waking me up all night. I have no idea what was wrong.

But once, rather than crying, I was awoken by this:

"What the?!?"

"What the!?!?!"

"Wyyyaaattttttt!" (in my 'scolding' voice)

"Wyyyyattttt!!!!!"

And then he went back to sleep. I wish I knew what he was doing in his dream that he needed to be scolded for. LOL.

He's been doing that lately. Like he went over to the cat litter box and picked up the scoop, and I said "Wyyyyatttt! No, no no!" About 10 minutes later, he walked over to the box again, reached for the scoop, stopped, and then told himself "Wyyyyyattt! No no no!"

I cracked up!



Anyway, I am going to lie back down. I feel miserable and MIL is hanging out with Wyatt, so I'm taking the opportunity for some extra sleep.
