Moments with Wiley

Some cute recent Wiley moments:

* When he saw a man with long hair ride by on a bicycle he asked, "Is that a girl or a girl-man?" (Needless to say, Shane was quick to explain that it was a man with long hair and that sometimes men have long hair too.)

* In the car yesterday, Wiley reached over to Evie, tickled her toes, and sang, "The itsy bitsy spider, went to the market." (So cute that he got his spider and little piggy songs mixed up!)

* Every time Wiley watches the Sesame Street movie, Follow That Bird, he cries when it gets to the part where Big Bird flies away on the plane (regardless of how many times he watches it). He keeps wanting to watch it though and we just hug him each time, while he cries as if he's lost his best friend, and explain to him that it is just pretend and Big Bird will return to Sesame Street at the end of the movie.

* Out of the blue the other day Wiley just up and asks me, "Mommy, are you good at sports?" I replied, "Not really." His response, "That's okay, Mommy. You just gotta keep your eye on the ball!"

* Shane is always teaching Wiley that it is his job as a man to protect Mommy and Evie. Today while potty training, Wiley had an accident. After cleaning him up, I asked him what he should do next time he needs to go potty (expecting him to say somthing along the lines of, "Go and potty on the toilet") His answer was, "Protect you and Evie from the potty!" (At least some things are sinking in :)

Here are some potty training photos. (We bought a huge tarp and spread it over the living room floor. It's definitely paid for itself already!!!) He is doing a good job overall though we do have accidents from time to time. This morning in nursery, he stopped playing on his own and went to tell his teacher that he needed to go potty and he held it until he got in the bathroom. Way to go, Wiley!!!) We are so proud of you and we love you very much!!! What a big boy you are becoming!
