in case you missed it, i posted about colorado, but in the vein of blogger complications, it is after the passover post. that's what i get for planning ahead.
wyatt crossed the street by himself for the first time today. i stood on the edge of our driveway, watching my little guy make a big move. he is a rule follower, careful and smart, so when i told him he could cross alone he was filled with excitement and caution. once he made it across he smiled his adorable grin and said, "mama! no cars!" i was so proud and so sad. he walked down the sidewalk to harrison's house and kept turning around and waving, saying "bye, mama!" tom watched from the window and hollered out at him, too. when he saw tom wyatt's face lit up again and he waved, proud of his accomplishment and glad his papa saw it.
i don't know what i'm going to do when he goes off to preschool in the fall. i wasn't anxious to put him in school; i love the time we have together and i wish i had more. i must get this from my mother. she wasn't in any hurry to send me off. even though i didn't like having braces up until my sophomore year, orthodontist appointments allowed us to spend some special time together, going to lunch and stopping at thift stores. we have fun memories just the two of us, cutting class.
so in the fall cass and i will walk with wyatt down the street to his new school and for two and half hours we'll find ourselves without our wy-wy. i don't know who will miss him more...

Monday night I was looking at him amazed at how much he has grown.
As I read your blog I had the movie screen going in my head. I was watching Wyatt look both ways before he crossed the street, looking back at you, then the shot went to you watching him. I could even feel his excitement. I could see the cute Wyatt smile cover his face. You're one great Mama.
This picture of gangsta Wy and sister Cass is my favorite ever...they are so awesome.
