So, our resident seven year old is an interesting kid.  Here is what he has been up to according to pictures.  He has amassed a large tiny puppy collection.  The leader used to be a puppy named Mennon.  He was soon outranked by Big Cheeks.  Here is Wyatt with a box full of his pups.

 He later got a second installment (12 more).  I had built a cardboard house, and he used it for his pups to live in.  Calvin was kind enough to help him organize them all.

 Proud father of 17 tiny pups.

 This next picture shows a Mom Fail.  I used spray sunscreen on his back when we went to the mountains, and I didn't rub it in.  He looked striped.  I felt terrible, but in true Wyatt fashion, he didn't complain once.  Wyatt has a high threshold for pain/discomfort, and he rarely complains if he is sick.  

 Wyatt convinced me to take him on a date to Hiyashi (the local hibachi place).  A few years ago on my birthday, I wanted to go there.  Wyatt was not excited about it because he doesn't like trying new food.  However, the flashy fire show and tasty food convinced him that he liked it, and now he is a fan.  In fact, for a few months, he wanted to work there when he grew up.  Here are a few silly shots of our date:

 This week he discovered that he has a loose tooth.  He hasn't lost it yet, but it is a little bit wiggly.  He asked me to take a picture so that he could send it to Dad at work, which we did.

This last picture I had to take.  He was relaxing in the bathtub, and he had his head almost completely immersed in the water.  When he sat up, his hair was half wet and half dry.  For some reason it tickled me.  Wyatt loves to relax in the bathtub.  He will stay in until the water gets cold.  He is often kind enough to let Cyrus jump in with him (as long as Cy promises not to splash).

Wyatt is a happy kid.  He makes us laugh pretty much everyday.  He always has a good joke or impression for us. He is especially good at imitating Nacho Libre.  He is a kind older and younger brother.  He the biggest peacemaker in our family, and he often gives up what he wants if he knows it will make someone else happy.  Wyatt and I share a love of caramel. He doesn't love chocolate, but he has a sweet tooth.  He still is a bit of a picky eater, and would rather go hungry than eat a dinner that he doesn't like.  He builds legos quite a bit, and he has a talent for using his imagination.
