Just a quick post to let you know that all is well here! We seem to have been so busy since the start of school - I have had so many ideas for posts & they have just never made it to the keyboard. But, hopefully with my new iPhone & constant contact with the web world, I should be able to update with a little bit more frequency.
Wyatt is loving school & really enjoying going every Tuesday & Thursday. When I pick him up, in his own little toddler language he tells me about his day - seems like each week he will elaborate a bit more. However, his teacher helped elaborate just how vocal he is, when she told me in the carpool line just last week that Wyatt essentially taught the class the word "penis" - ahh, motherhood moments to be proud of!
As of late, we have become quite fond of the film Toy Story. It all started one afternoon when we made Rice Krispie treats together & watched. He was immediately drawn to "Buzz & Woody," which is what we now call the movie around here. The part that cracks me up though, for those familiar with the film, is that he is MOST drawn to the evil neighbor kid Sid! Not because he tortures his toys & likes to blow them up (I hope!) but because he has braces!! The other night I caught him in the playroom holding a small piece of train track up to his teeth saying "These are my braces" and had a little chuckle to myself. He also LOVES this thing, which he refers to as "The Spider" - have you seen a scarier toy people?? It ends up having a good heart, but come on - if I came across this in our playroom now at night I would probably be frightened.
The obsession came to a head yesterday when we ventured to the theater for the 3D double feature of Toy Story & Toy Story 2. No part of me thought we would stay for even an hour of the first movie, let alone a double feature, but Wyatt managed to sit in my lap & enjoy a little popcorn for the entire first flick. Imagine my delight as he snuggled in my lap (I did have the blankies there for backup support - I mean, I was alone!), ate treats & watched a movie - one of my favorite things in the world & it truly was awesome to share this experience with him. Don't think we'll try it again anytime soon - saving it for special occasions seems to be the best idea.
Until we post again...

M loves Woody & Buzz as well! I totally thought that Sid and the mashed up toys would scare her, but they don't seem to bother her one bit. Should I be worried?
We got to see the movies in 3-D on the cruise, rode the Buzz Lightyear ride at Magic Kingdom, and took her picture with the lifesize Buzz statue at Downtown Disney's toy store. She was thrilled!
