Sense

I always tell Wyatt when he is being silly "That doesn't make sense!" and he always giggles and says "Sense!!!!"

So tonight during feeding time, he had turned off the ceiling fan and when it stopped spinning, he pointed up and said "Off. Ba-ees (it needs batteries)!" then he giggled and said "Sense!!!!" I laughed and said "No, that doesn't make sense, does it?"

Then he pointed to the air conditioner vent and said "Ba-ees!!!" "Sense!!", just cracking himself up.

It was so funny to see him making a "joke".

The Whee

Wyatt is currently obsessed with the garbage truck. He loves it when I take him outside to watch the garbage truck picking up the cans and dumping them. He asks every day to go watch "ga-tuk! ga tuk!" and I tell him the garbage truck only comes on Tuesdays and Fridays. So anytime I mention ANY day of the week, like telling DH "Oh I have an appointment Monday.", Wyatt whips around and says "GA-TUK!" and I have to say "No, garbage truck comes on Tuesday and Friday, not Monday." and he says "Uh-huh" or "O-tay". LOL.

Last night, we went for our nightly walk and he wanted to go in the opposite direction than we usually go. We walked down about a block and he stopped when he got to the speed bump, or as he calls it, the "whee". He then said "Whee!" and I thought he wanted to walk on the whee, so I took his hand and we walked out in the road... he looked at me and said "No. Cars. Whee." "You want to watch a car go over the whee?" "Uh-huh". So luckily we live on a pretty busy street. We waited a minute or so until a car came and drove over the speed bump. Wyatt said "WHEE! Again! Again!"

So we ended up sitting at the end of the neighbor's driveway right next to the speed bump watching cars go over it for... 30 minutes. That's right. A 2-year old boy sat patiently and waited for cars to come by for 30 minutes. And then didn't want to leave! I finally got up and said "OK, one more and we have to go." When the next car came, I said "Ok, Wyatt that's enough of the whee." He looked up at me, patted the ground next to him and said "No, mama. Sit. Sit. Wait."

Back from Colorado

It was pretty fun. Wyatt is so funny. A couple things I want to remember.

Me: C'mon, Wyatt. Let's go to the elevator.
Wyatt: Alligator! RAWR!
Me: No, not ALLIGATOR. Elevator. Buttons.
Wyatt: Buttons!!!!

Me (reading Goodnight Moon): And a quiet old lady who was whispering...
Wyatt: BEEF!
Me: The quiet old lady was whispering BEEF?"
Wyatt: (giggling) Uh-huh.
Me: Let's try this again. And a quiet old lady who was whispering...
Wyatt: HONK!
Me: AII! The quiet old lady whispered HONK?
Wyatt: Uh-huh.
Me: One more time. And a quiet old lady who was whispering...
Wyatt: WHAT THE?!?!
Me: The quiet old lady whispered What the?
Wyatt: Uh-huh (still laughing)
Me: What did the quiet old lady really whisper?
Wyatt: (whispering) Huuussssshhh.

There's more. But I am so tired. I hope I can remember more tomorrow. We had fun watching the train, walking by the river, driving in the Jeep, and seeing waterfalls and a baby snake!
