Wyatt Turns Four!

Wow. What happened to February? On that note, what happened to the last four years? We can't believe our baby is growing up so fast. He had a wonderful birthday and party with lots of superhero friends--more on that later.

Wyatt is a delightful four-year-old boy. He loves to play board games. Favorites right now are Yahtzee Jr., Memory, Dominoes, Sequence Jr., and others. Wyatt is learning how to read. He likes a book called Fox in a Box a lot because he can read the CVC words (consonant-short vowel-consonant). He loves the book Sammy the Seal and has it pretty much memorized.

Wyatt loves to go to Jump Planet (an indoor inflatable arena), any and all parks (especially St. Edward's castle park), and his preschool, Debbie's Place. He also loves running with his friends. He plays a game he made up called criss-cross-applesauce where each kid starts on the opposite side of a room and runs toward each other then criss-crosses and touches the other side. He could honestly do this for hours!

Wyatt is expanding his menu just a bit lately. He enjoys chicken (orange chicken from Trader Joe's is a favorite) and nuggets, meatloaf and pork, but he also recently tried and liked trout. I was so floored I almost cried at the dinner table. Alas, he does not like pasta. I try and try, but this kid just doesn't like it. Vegetables are still his issue and he will take one bite of almost everything, but continues to only like carrots and an occasional bit of peas or corn. He loves fruit so we have a variety of fruits every day. Mango is his favorite.

We are having so much fun these days. I will try to update a bit more regularly and give some info about his superhero party soon.
