Dear Wesley,

You sure are a momma's boy! Ever since school started you just cannot get enough of me. You are always sitting by me, or on me if possible, and you just always want to be by me. I don't mind. It makes me feel loved. And I know you love me. Even at church you only want to sit with me. You won't even think about sitting on the bench by me. You are so silly. When you start acting up I ask if you want to go sit with dad. You always say no, so I tell you to stop or calm down or whatever, and you do. It is a little sad that I'm using dad as a punishment, but at this point that is how it is.

You (and the rest of us) just got over the swine flu (H1N1). It wasn't so fun. You actually seemed to do pretty well with it. You just laid around and rested a lot. You ended up missing a week and a half of school (plus the day I checked you out early when you really weren't sick). It was really only 3 days, but that is still a lot when you only go 2 days a week. I had to pick you up again on Thursday because you were sick again. I think you are finally about better. Let's hope you stay that way now.

A few weeks ago Miss Melissa called and told me that you had fallen 4 feet off the jungle gym at school and landed on your face. You were okay, but it was still scary. So we had a meeting on Thursday and got approval to have someone come play with you at recess to make sure you don't fall again. You are too little and important for that kind of a fall to happen any more times. I hope they find someone spunky. You sure like to move.

You give me lots of hugs and kisses. You like to play a game and kiss each side of my cheek over and over and over. It is so sweet. I've never met such a loving boy. I'm glad you get to be in my family and help me understand love. It sure is fun!

Today we talked to my family on the webcam. You loved it. You remembered baby Taylor from when he was here visiting, so you kept wanting to look at him up close and touch him on the computer screen. I'm glad you like him. We get to see him in January again when we go to Utah for Aunt Kim's wedding. I think you will be so excited to see your cousins. They all sure love you a lot.

You know how to feed yourself with a spoon pretty well now. You do it a lot at school and I try to let you do it here. You are getting so good at it. You also learned how to use the urinal at school. I was very surprised to find that one out. I had no idea! You are also learning lots of new words. It is fun for me to see you grow.

I love you!

Love,
Mom
