wyatt's slight obsession with cars

Wyatt is definitely a little boy.  He loves anything to do with being a boy.  Playing in the dirt, riding his bikes, scraping up his knees, climbing on anything and everything, being loud and hyper, but the one thing he loves the most is playing with his cars and trucks. 

He would pass on eating, sleeping, watching tv, and probably anything else if you offered to play cars with him.  His only problem is he has a hard time playing by himself.  Since he has been the only child around here for two years, he is having a hard time adapting to the fact that mommy can't just get up at the drop of a hat and come play with him anymore.  I try to play with him whenever Max is sleeping and I'm not doing household stuff, but I've been really trying to teach him that he needs to learn to play by himself every once in a while too.

One thing that will be nice once Max is older is how good it will be for Wyatt to always have someone to play with.  I know that will mean he will also have someone to fight with and someone that he doesn't want to share with, but for the most part, I think he will enjoy having a live-in playmate.

I was thinking about how weird it is that I am now the mommy of two little boys.  I'm in still in awe of the fact that I've raised Wyatt for the past two years and he is still walking and breathing which has got to mean something, right?  I feel so proud when Wyatt does something that I've taught him.  Like count how many books we were checking out from the library today, or saying bless you to his little brother when he sneezed.  It's amazing how much they pick up in such a short amount of time.  Wyatt is not even two and a half and he is really starting to speak in sentences that you can actually understand.  And he can spot things and know what they are.  

My heart fills with love every time he accomplishes something he is trying so hard to do.  I love those moments that I get to share with him when something is so new and so exciting to him.  I feel like I get to relive these moments with him and experience new things again with him.  And I'm looking forward to being able to do that with Max, too.  

All in all, I love being a mommy.  It's the most amazing job in the world and I wouldn't change it for the world.  I love my boys, they are my everything :)
