Wyatt my love! 2 and 1/2 years

Wyatt has started a little habit of waking up around 3 or 4 in the morning and walking over to my bed and saying, "i want mommy." And then when he gets in sometimes he says, "hold me." :) Wyatt has suprised me lately with knowing all the words to the songs, "I am a Child of God", "Jesus wants me for a sunbeam", and "Once there was a snowman." So adorable. He performs it for Grandma's and Grandpa's sometimes and they love it. One night I was singing wyatt to sleep and I sang, "I love to see the temple,"...it's one I have sung before, but this time he said, "No I don't like that one....sing a different one!" I thought it was just a fluke so I have tested it since and tried singing that same song again, and everytime I do he says the same thing.:) Wyatt is excited for Kylie to come. I don't think he fully understands, but he will talk to her in my belly. He wants her to come out my belly button and says, "she's stuck" (referring to her being stuck in there and not able to come out of my belly button!) There have been a couple times when I have slept by Wyatt where he wakes up and starts softly rubbing my face and arm until I wake up. And he says, "mommy" in a very soft little voice after to see if I am going to wake up or not:). Sometimes after he will spontaneously give me a little kiss after too. So precious.
Some characteristics that I see in Wyatt:
Sweetheart
Loving
Determined
Confident
Social with kids, shy around adults
Loves to be with mommy, "I want mommy, I want mommy"
Very active
Go getter
Happy
Good natured

Wyatt has to get a surgery to get his tonsils and adenoids
out on Thursday. We are praying everything will go fine. It will help his breathing at night. He struggles to get oxygen at night and snores b/c his tonsils and adenoids are so big. So Dr. Mellor felt this is the best option. He is a wonderful doctor and we trust him completely. He has been talked highly of by many and served as a Mission President.

2 years and 4 months

You have had huge growth over the past 4 months. You are talking and talking and talking. My favorite thing you say right now is, "not again!" You say that when something goes wrong and it is so funny! I love you at this age! You surprise us all the time with the funny little things you say that we didn't know you knew. You will have a sister in 3 months and I know you don't fully understand that. I think you will be so happy to have another little friend around. It may take a little while for you to warm up to her? We will have to see! I looked throught your baby pics last night and got all teary eyed. You are so special to us Wyatt! Some other things you have been doing lately...you love to eat chicken noodle soup, you LOVE this new bubble blowing gun I bought for you, you love to kick the snow with your boots....I just thought of a funny story. Last night, you had gone out in the backyard by yourself for the first time. I had to get some dishes done and told you to go out there and play while I do them and that I would watch you through the window. You were out there for a while (20 minutes) and it started to get a little dark. You ran inside and said, "MOM, it's DARK, and I saw a guy!" So cute. You say that when it gets dark in our house too, I think its from cartoons or something...maybe from the movie Monsters Inc...which is one of your favorite by the way. "the monster one, I want to watch the monster one..":). "Bye, lub you, c-ya tomowo." That's another thing you say that melts my heart. We are having so much fun with you and love you to peices.
