Happy Mother's Day!

I woke up to the sound of Wyatt listing off the things he loves from his bed.
"I love the slide.....and I love.....the slide. I love.....the slide....I love the slide...." And so on. I think you get the picture. :)
Later on he added "peas", "carrots" and "kids" to the list of things he loves. Not sure I buy the last one (he's pretty slow to warm up to other kids), but he does love his vegetables. Peas, carrots, cucumbers, peppers, broccoli, grape tomatoes - even mushrooms! Doesn't get it from me, ha ha.

Just being goofy. :)

Wyatt and Shrek both wanted to play ball in the backyard. I suggested they play together, but you can see how well that went. Shrek has never once shown any aggression towards Wyatt....but he's never really shown any interest him either. It's kind of disappointing, because Wyatt loves that stupid dog.
I made the mistake of not changing the channel when Extreme Couponing came on tonight. I don't think I've blinked since it came on. Disgusting. It's one thing to use coupons to save you money - but what on earth does one person need 110 bottles of Excederin for? The same woman had a stockpile of cat treats....but they don't have a cat. What is the point??

No pictures today - Wyatt has a cold sore. :S Neither Josh or I have ever had one before, so I actually had to take him to a doctor to find out what to do. Apparently I just need to apply the most expensive ointment of all time to his lip 5x a day. And keep him from licking his lips. Right. As soon as I accomplish that, I'll finish up with the whole "world peace" thing.

Do you know how hard it is to take a picture of a toddler doing something they just learned? Very difficult. Wyatt learned how to give the thumbs up last week at daycare. I've been trying to grab a picture of it for a few days, and this was the best I ended up with tonight.
Not sure what was in the water (or chocolate milk) today, but Wyatt has been completely miserable all day. Meltdown after meltdown - to the point where he just bursts into tears and runs into his room (on his own accord!) for a time out. He's winding down with a short DVD, hopefully bedtime is painless. I'm looking forward to an hour of silence before I crawl into bed myself.

Wyatt reading "The New Baby" by Mercer Mayer. Just in the last few days, he has started asking me to read it to him every night. I'm taking that as a good sign. :)
We had Easter dinner/belated birthday celebrations tonight at my parents'. It was delicious, and I got ice cream cake! 3 birthday cakes this year - a new record. :D Wyatt started asking to go back to Grandpa and Grandma S's as soon as we left though.
And even though it is May, we got snow today. The roads to Portage and back were not great, icy and snow packed. Nothing about weather in Manitoba is predictable!
