That's My Boy.

Luggage love: when my mom was here a few weeks ago we made a spontaneous stop at an estate sale and I found this snappy little red suitcase for $1.00! I thought it would be perfect for my boy who didn't have one. I usually toss his things in with mine or squeeze them into a backpack for him to carry. He was so excited when I brought it home and told him it was for him. It's old and it makes that *click* *snap* noise when you slide the latches to open and close it. It's totally a classic!

Saturday, after a swim, he emerged from his room with this shirt, jeans, and clip on tie. I instantly thought of his red suitcase and could not get to my camera fast enough! He was such a good sport too. Can't you just picture him telling me that he is running away and carrying his suitcase down the street with his bare feet?

Saturday morning was so much fun with all the thunder and then the brief downpour with the biggest raindrops I think I have ever seen! As soon as we noticed the rain, Wyatt pulled off his t-shirt and ran around the pool squealing with pure delight, we all were.

He had his first soccer game Saturday. See that lower lip? That helps to sum up his 6 year-old personality; feisty, spunky, fiercely independent, cool, fearless and fun.

Or, to put it another way, I have to keep a close eye on him at all times!
