Dawson on the other hand has loved them since he met them (aside from once when I had to bring him in with me to find Kenton, and he was too young and noise sensitive). We have fresh chicks right now, so I brought him in for a visit while Kenton and Wyatt did their chores, and as soon as http://mamasmania.blogspot.com/2009/08/dawson-loves-chicks.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Anjii)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3080298075624047891.post-4464748941536537843Mon, 10 Aug 2009 23:06:00 +00002009-08-10T16:44:24.127-07:00ATVfamilyfunquadwyattYou'd think after living here for 4 1/2 years, I would know my way around the property. But for some reason, I haven't ventured farther than our yard, the barn and the nearest rows of berries, during picking season. Maybe it's because it's not "ours", so my curiosity about what we have here is limited, or maybe it's simply because, although I'm not totally girly, and I don't mind dirt so to speakhttp://mamasmania.blogspot.com/2009/08/my-personal-atv-tour-guide.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Anjii)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3080298075624047891.post-5249832664192528794Mon, 29 Jun 2009 21:21:00 +00002009-07-03T16:04:26.643-07:00campingfishingwyattThat's what Wyatt kept calling himself yesterday, when they got home from camping, with his first prized catch! It's a small 5oz Rainbow Trout, and he basically caught it all by himself! Kenton was paying attention to steering, when Wyatt told him his line was pulling. Kenton told him to start reeling it in, so Wyatt did, and when it was right close, Kenton picked up the line, and pulled the http://mamasmania.blogspot.com/2009/06/fisherman-of-day.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Anjii)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3080298075624047891.post-336788347389765187Sun, 28 Jun 2009 06:44:00 +00002009-07-03T16:07:04.761-07:00campingfishingwyattThe past week, and particularly the past few days have been full of talk and excitement about Wyatt's first camping trip with Daddy. They borrowed a canoe, for fishing, which is another first for Wyatt. He's been practicing his casting for over a year now, but he's never been near water with his fishing rod. His Uncle Kolin will be meeting them tomorrow for fishing.

In addition to the 75+ signs he uses, he's starting to use more and more spoken words every day. Most of them are only understandable in context, or when used with the corresponding sign, but they're words! He's also becoming much clearer about what he wants, how he wants it, and how he expects things to be.

One of the special stations was for them to paint Mama's nails. He did a pretty decent job for a first timer, but there's a fair amount of hot pink polish on the skin around my nails. Tonight was girls night, and I told him I would show off my beautiful manicure. When my nails caught his eye tonight at teethbrushing time, he asked me "Did you show http://mamasmania.blogspot.com/2009/05/wyattism.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Anjii)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3080298075624047891.post-665588966270143385Fri, 08 May 2009 06:31:00 +00002009-05-07T23:36:05.024-07:00This is the bedtime story Wyatt told to Kenton when he tucked Kenton in for bed... (told from memory as best as I can)"Once upon a time, there was a quad. His name was Speed Racer. He had a rider named Wyatt. Wyatt had a family named Daddy, Mama and Dawson. He loved his whole family more than anything, EVEN his quad.

Sometimes they'll come with a story, sometimes they'll just "be". (Dawson will have his own series when he gets into sentences too). It's partly to share them, and partly to document them until I get a chance to record them all in a book.
