A short update on my favorite little person. I promised that I would capture the "dance" that Wyatt does when he likes food. Seriously, when he hears that we are having pizza, chips or better yet anything he really likes he does this "dance of joy." You know the dance I will be doing when March Madness is over. Opps, did I just say that? Anyway, Wyatt did this dance (view the short video above) after his first taste of Cinnamon Roll (okay might not be his first, but it was the most memorable).

A huge blessing that I enjoy is sleeping in and Ken gets up with Wyatt...okay I don't sleep but rest my eyes and listen to the two of them is heaven to me. Ken often makes pancakes but recently he made waffles and bacon and could hear the excitement in Wyatt's voice while waiting for the desired breakfast to hit the plate. My favorite was his "Mmmmmmmmm Mmmmmm" that was repeated over and over as he ate his waffles and bacon. Of course "more bacon Daddy" was a common request.

Another funny thing Wyatt likes to do especially when we are coloring...he likes for me to make something that is big and something that is "teenie meenie" and he shows me with his fingers just how "teenie meenie" it needs to be. Popular requests are for a big heart and a "teenie meenie" heart or a big sun and a "teenie meenie" sun. He laughs everytime he says "teenie meenie"...too cute.

Do you know a child that has an imaginary friend? Now you do...Wyatt has one maybe more. I have confirmation on a red bunny who pops up at our house and Grandma's house frequently. Grandma and I have noticed that the red bunny (rare bunny in these parts) is always hiding under the dining room table no matter what house he is in. Wyatt either calls him loudly or goes under the table to persuade him to get out. Along those same lines Wyatt has even named his large white teddy bear this week. He was "big teddy" and then out of the blue he started to call him "Archie." I found out that a little neighboring dog that lives near Grandma's house is named Archie; however, they had not seen him in quite awhile. Too funny, but the name fits perfectly.

Today, we ventured to the zoo with Wyatt's three cousins which was fun to see Wyatt run after his 5 year old cousin following her wherever she went...she even got him to go down the slides at the zoo with her (holding hands and in her lap). Priceless. So, cute to see all the cousins running and playing together and looking and laughing at the animals and one another.

It looks like winter may return this week so I hope it will get it out of its system so we can get used to some spring-like weather. May you all have a reason to do the "dance of joy" this week.
