Growing Too Fast

 The Wee Lad is growing up very fast.  Here are a few photos from this summer.

We got him his own sunglasses but he prefers to wear Gil's.  He always puts them on upside down though.

He still does his own dishes and is getting better at it.

Sometimes he's pretty good about wearing a mask.

My mother gave Wesley her old flip phone and he loves it.  It's not a functioning phone anymore but he still enjoys picking it up and giving whoever he's pretending to talk to a running commentary of what's going on in the house.

The chair in the above and below was mine when I was little and it's been popular since it was pulled out of storage.  I had to wash the cloth seat and Wesley still wanted to use his chair.  So, he used a toy box to sit on and leaned against the couch.  Smart kid!

He walked into the kitchen the other day in Gil's shoes and holding his diaper changing map and announced he was going to work.

At the library, he was immediately drawn to the computer, sat down, and announced he was working.  We're not sure where this idea of "work" comes from, but he's very serious about it.

We visited the splash pad a few times this summer. 

He loves to sing and dance.  When I go during the week to church to practice the organ, he sets up his music stand and sings his way through the hymn book while I play.  This particular day he found these massive sunglasses and was absolutely adorable (notice they are upside down).

He also insists he has his turn to play the organ as well.  In some ways it's nicer than the piano because I can pick only one stop and turn the volume as low as it goes.

We got a train set and he loved it.  We were able to find my brother's old set and the two sets fit together perfectly.  We've had a lot of fun setting up more elaborate tracks.

I love this little boy!
