Fact or Crap!

Weirdest thing ever. I was downstairs watching tv when I heard Wyatt cry out. I ran to the bottom of the stairs and looked up and he was at the top of the stairs crying. I said "Awww, what's wrong, sweetie?" and started climbing the steps to him. He then pulled down his underwear and proceeded to PEE DOWN THE STAIRS! I screamed "AIII! Why would you do that?" and he didn't look at me or answer, just kept crying. I took him back to his bed and laid him down and he instantly went back to sleep. I think he was sleep walking!

We just returned home from a nighttime scorpion hunt. We took UV flashlights into the desert and searched for scorpions (they glow bright green under UV light). In the hour we were out, we found about 20 of them, including one HUGE one, and one with only one pincher, which Wyatt named Pinchy.

Every night, I read three books to Wyatt, then ask "Should I sing to you?" He says yes, so I sing "Baby Don't You Cry" and "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star". It's been the same routine for several years. So last night, we read the books and I asked if I should sing to him. He nodded yes, and instead of starting "Baby Don't You Cry", I sang...
"At first I was afraid, I was petrified. Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side..."
And he CRACKED UP. Kept laughing and laughing. I finally calmed him down and sang the usual songs.
So tonight, we read books, and I asked if I should sing. He nodded. And I started singing "Baby Don't You Cry."
And he said "NO!" The other one!" So I sang "I Will Survive" before the usual two songs. I hope this doesn't become a new thing. LOL
Oh the other thing is when I sang "Baby Don't You Cry", he sang the whole song WITH me, which he has never done. I was fighting back tears, it was so adorable.


When shopping for a board game, Wyatt really thought it was funny that there is a game called "Fact or Crap". So - I am in a habit of saying "Fact!" when someone says something I agree with. Now every time I say it around Wyatt, he responds with "Crap!" And then we both laugh. I am sure strangers think something is wrong with us.

40 drops

Me: "There's a 40% chance of rain."
Wyatt: "Does that mean there are gonna be 40 drops?"
 
Me: "♪ ♫ You know I can't smile without you ♪ ♫
♪ ♫ I can't smile without you ♪ ♫
♪ ♫ I can't laugh and I can't sing -"
Wyatt: "STOP!"
Me: "What?"
Wyatt: "You said you can't sing, so stop!"

 
Me: "Hey Wyatt, when we go to Texas, Uncle Roger  is gonna take us fishing. He has a white boat."
Wyatt: "A white boat? Not even red? That's so boring!!!"

Wyatt: "I wish we had a buffet in our house." "Wyatt: "Hey Mommy, when I was in your belly.... what if you ate something I didn't yike?"
Me: "I don't think there was anything you didn't like."
Wyatt: (pondering, then scowling) "Did I yike burritos?"
LOL"

Rhymes with Orange

Me: "When you were in my belly, if you were quiet and I wanted to make sure you were ok, I'd just drink some Dr. Pepper, and you'd go like this!" (flailing arms and jumping up and down)
Wyatt: (giggle! giggle!) "Ohhhhh yeh, I remember that!"


Wyatt: "Hey Mommy. You say somefing, and I will say somefing that rhymes wif it."
Me: "Ok... Orange! Hahahahha.... nothing rhymes with orange!"
Wyatt: "Yuh-huh. Worange."
Me: "Hahah... but worange isn't a word."
Wyatt: "So? It rhymes."

Last night while I was trying to get Wyatt to sleep, he kept waking back up to talk about The Wizard of Oz, which they apparently watched at school.
"Mom, what's that girl's name again?" "Dorothy. Go to sleep."
"Are her shoes magic?" "Yes. Go to sleep."
"Hey Mommy... are her shoes shiny?" "Yes, they are ruby slippers. Go to sleep."
"That metal guy kept falling over." "Yes, he's the Tin Man. Go to sleep."
"Do witches have big noses?" "Yes, usually. Go to sleep."
