"I like dragons!"

Today we took Wyatt to his first theater movie. We planned for it to be Toy Story 3 in June but Michael saw How To Train Your Dragon and thought Wyatt would like it so we bumped up the plan by a few months. We figured between the dragons (which are close enough to dinosaurs) and the large bag of buttered popcorn, his attention span could be sustained long enough to somewhat enjoy a Sunday evening at the movies. We only had to get up 3 times for a brief trip to the lobby for a reminder about sitting still. I would call the trip a success.

Like father, like son...killing time in the game room before the movie

ALOT of popcorn was consumed today, that bag was almost as big as Wyatt!

Easter

This was the first Easter that Wyatt really got excited about. He enjoyed egg hunting with his aunts Hope and Rachel and uncle Matt. The Easter Bunny spoiled him rotten with not one but TWO huge baskets!

Grandma Fay sent him a handmade Easter Bunny too, with candy filled eggs too of course!

And Opa sent some confetti eggs which are part of a Mexican tradition that Michael grew up with. They are hollowed out egg shells dyed bright colors and filled with confetti paper. The idea is to sneak up behind someone and smash it over their head. We did smash a few that way but then decided it was probably better not to teach Wyatt to hit people in the head. He did have alot of fun with them and we are planning to make them ourselves next year to carry on the tradition.

Spring Fever

Spring has sprung and we are taking full advantage of the warm beautiful weather! We come home and eat dinner and then play outside just about every night. Wyatt loves his new makeshift sandbox that I threw together for him. He will sit and play with the sand for a while and then he'll jump up and announce that he wants to go run. Mommy and Daddy have to run with him too so we jump up and run to one of the fences and then he tells us to "GO!" and we run to the other side of the yard. Mommy and Daddy are shedding some pounds this spring trying to keep up with little man! I can't wait until next spring when he can play soccer and really burn all that energy!
