a flair for the dramatics

Wyatt's preschool teachers use to tell me that he 'wears his heart on his sleeve'. I admit, when I first heard that I romanced it like a Shakespearean sonnet... Wyatt's just putting himself out there, he's allowing himself to be vulnerable, he's letting the his classmates see his emotional side... that's what they mean by the wearing his heart on his sleeve bit.

But spending this last month or so with him home for the summer, that was just me being delusional.

He's bossy.

Like seriously bossy.

There is no tip-toeing around if Wyatt is mad, you will know it.

And there is an irony to us naming him Wyatt and it rhyming with quiet, because he is absolutely not.

But he has been known to wear his Spiderman costume to the gym, to keep it on while watering the plants, to stay in character even when it it nearly 100 degrees outside. If you are wondering what type of mother lets her child wear his Halloween costume in June, 'hello (waving hands high), it's me!' I'm the enabler to Wyatt's theatrical addiction.

At least being bossy taking the lead and being the loudest one in the classroom lends well to each other when your costumes are hanging at the ready.


Did I mention he's (the not good kind of) dramatic too?

*sigh*
