In the eye of the beholder... (posted July 24, 2009)

Wyatt just said the best thing in the world to me! I took a shower and came out with wet hair and put Wyatt in his high chair to eat. While I was helping him with his mash potatoes he looks up at me and says, "Mommy you hair pretty." I was so shocked. I looked at Brett and said "Did you hear what he just said? Wyatt tell Daddy!" "Mommy hair pretty," he said it sort of sheepishly like he was a little embarrassed and proud of himself at the same time. "Aww buddy that is so nice," Brett encouraged. I made a HUGE deal out of it saying something about how handsome he was and how much I loved him. I gushed. I guess he must have like the attention becuase he followed up with the whopper, "Mommy you bue-ta-pull!" "What? What? What did you say, you devishly charming little hunk of baby love? You precious little darling monkey-wa-wa (mommy/baby love name)!" He was all smiles. I could have kissed him all over and gobbled him up I was so overflowing with love and pride. My child thinks I am beautiful, Nah-nee, Nah-nee, Nah-nee!! The next morning I watched him kiss Chloe on the head and whisper to her "You bue-ta-pul." So sweet, but the compliment lost a little of its charm after he gave it to the chihuahua!
