Wyatt Turns 5

I decided to do a little interview with my Wyatt Sanford.

Hi Wyatt!

-Hi. I love you your the best.

You are so sweet.

-I know. Thats what I was born for.

You turned 5!

-I love you you're the best. You are the best in the whole wide world.

Thank you my Wyatt Sanford. You have a gentle soul. You know that?

-I didn't know that till you told me.

Ok so back to turning 5. Wow!!

-Wow. I like being big. 5 is being very big. Hold on I need to set the room up like a movie theater for Gat..... I like going to the movie theater.

Oh ya? What else do you like to do?

-I like to build stuff and ride dirtbikes with dad. When people see my dirtbike track they are like wow.

You are starting school later this year....

-I can't wait! I think the first day will be so fun.

What do you think about being a big brother?

-I have more jobs and chores so I deserve money. Then I can buy whatever I want.

What do you want to buy?

-A bounce house. A Dirtbike. All the fun stuff.

Gatlon says "I want a bounce house I can ride my dirtbike in!"

Wyatt Sanford. I started this blog when you were a newborn and now I'm writing to a 5 year old. How did 5 years go by so fast? I still tear up at random moments whether its a conversation I can't believe I'm having with you or simply watching you with your brothers. You and Gatlon are buddies for the most part. Of course there are little fights here and there but when anyone else is squabbling with Gatlon you are 100% behind him. I just know you brothers will always back each other up. I love that. You are still teaching me things. For example, if Gatlon falls I immediately want to explain why he shouldn't stand on the edge of a chair but you always ask if he's ok first. You have a good heart.

Wyatt the talent you have is amazing. You are riding a dirtbike, learning to swing a golf club, swinging a bat, playing basketball, and riding your bmx bike. You love board games and doing art. I love how active you are and determined you are to be the best. I try to explain to you that its not about being first its about having fun but your dad shakes his head and tells me not to baby you.

Wyatt you are starting school soon!! How did that happen? You are very excited although you have a small fear that there will be bullies. We've talked about that and how there will be other kids who just want to meet nice new friends. I can't wait to pick you up and hear all about your day. I will miss you. I'm not gonna lie this will be hard for me but its so very important for you to start feeling a bit of independence.

I still ask your dad how we got so lucky to have a son like you. Your heart is so kind. You will do great things my Wyatt. -XOXO Mom
