I truly can't believe we have a six year old. It seems like time has passed so quickly. At six years old Wyatt has blossomed in to such a sweet boy. He is amazingly sensitive and has developed a true sense of empathy for other people and animals. In fact, a few weeks ago when he realized that he was eating "animals that were alive" he decided to go veggie because "we don't kill animals to eat them, it's not nice." When I tried to explain that we can be thankful to the animals for giving us food and nutrition he replied, "But they didnt want to, they didn't want to die." And well, he's right. Now, three weeks later, he is still sticking to it, making it that much more difficult to find stuff that he will eat!
He loves watching shows about animals and his favorite show right now is Wild Kratts, about two Zoologist brothers who transform in to animals and demonstrate "creature powers." He and Malcolm frequently transform in to the Kratt brothers themselves...like tonight in the bathtub. Wyatt spends hours drawing pictures of the Wild Kratts and their animal friends.
He also loves his own pet, Max the cat, and he is a big helper when it comes to feeding and changing Max's water.
Wyatt loves his kindergarten class and has a great group of friends who are boys that he hangs with - Luca (his BFF and the apparent class clown, frequently hug in the morning when they see each other) Sam, Ben, Leo, Jake, Felix, Kyle, Lucas. And of course there is his buddy Julia in his class who he pals around with too.
His teacher says he is a joy to have in the classroom, he listens, he follows directions, he is eager to learn and he tries very hard. For the most part, he does all of that around the house too.
He has learned to tie his shoes, but prefers to wear slip ons or velcro. He has learned to read and has gotten through the first two BOB books sets. He is spelling words and writing sentences phonetically.
We are so proud of our little bear!
