Thursday Thirteen #76 (Thirteen Things About My Nephew, Wesley)
Wednesday, September 19, 2007 3:08 PM
It is time to continue my TT lists on the wonderful family. This weeks it’s all about my nephew, Wesley. If you are wondering why I have not did a list on my son yet, don’t fear… I already did one! 
- He is my oldest nephew, therefore, my very first!
- Because of that, he is very special to me.
- He was the only nephew that I did not get to see very often when he was a baby because they were living in Chico.
- So I spoiled him by giving him a dollar every time I saw him (he was only a couple months). He still loves money to this day and is good at saving it.
- He ended up having more money than his parents once. Haha.
- I do not give him a dollar every time I see him anymore.
- He is very helpful to me. He can even lift my scooter in and out of my SUV without any help and he never complains about having to do it.
- He is learning the guitar and is doing really well.
- He is a great basketball player.
- He is more shy than my second nephew, Jared, but does have his dad’s sense of humor (it just does not come out as much because of it).
- He does well in school too.
- He was my only nephew who did not use a pacifier, so he talked much earlier than my other two nephews. He actually talked very early, and it was so cute!
- Sometimes, I look at him as see myself in him. We are so much alike, which is one of the reasons why he is so special and that I love him! I cannot wait to see what God has for his life!

Can I borrow him to life Gatorade in and out of my car when I buy it at Costco?
He sounds like a great kid. He’s clearly related to you.
How very nice of you to honor him in this way…
Yesterday I told Wesley that he was getting very tall and he said, “Yup, pretty much as tall as Aunt Chelle, but Ill probably be as tall as you when Im about ten and a half or maybe almost eleven. Aunt Chelle is just really short.”

He’s precious–and he sounds like a great kid.
Sounds like a great kid, those oldest though, we spend so much more time with them talking, lol. You should print this up for his next birthday card, let him know how much you love him.
That is just a lovely portrait of your nephew! If he didn’t know how special he is to you, this will definitely show him! (And what a cutie!)
Thanks for dropping by Snarkypants!

He looks like a fine young nephew! a cute and friendly boy. Happy TT!
I’ve just posted about my family too! You can find it here. I would love to hear what you thought of it! It’s so nice to write down exactly what it is that we love about those closest to us, isn’t it?
What a sweet TT. It’s obvious you dote on him.

I love reading about your family! Thank you so much for sharing this.
Another great list. I’ve never heard of a baby not taking to his pacifier. My mother thought I was going to walk down the aisle with mine!
Aww, how sweet! I loved the story about the dollar bills. Fun list! Happy TT! Mine is words that describe me.

What a great list. It shows how much you love your nephew!!
Happy TT!
Very handsome young man!
That’s my twin! In looks and personality. He’s a good boy and the shirt he’s wearing in that picture you posted was mine just a year ago. Wow! The little crying boy sitting behind him in the pic is pretty funny too. Been there…done that. HA!

Aww….what an awesome auntie you are. I love reading about your family. You are blessed.
What a cool list idea! I’ll have to borrow it sometime and write about my niece. Happy TT

Dallas: Thanks! I think he has a great aunt too!
Marcia: I was not insinuating that just because a baby uses a pacifier, he won’t talk early.
Mar: He is friendly, just very shy!
Amy: It sounds like you have a great family too!
Ann: Yes, it was really easy to dote on him, especially when he was younger!
Christine: Thanks! That means a lot to me!
Kell: Brendan did not take one either. He only had it for a week, suck his thumb for a week, and that was it!
Erin: I am sure he would love for me to give him dollar bills today.
Denise: I do love him! Thanks!
Mama: Thanks!
Uncle Mikey: Yes, and when he acts like you, that is the only time he gets on my nerves! Haha. Just kidding!
Lazy Daisy: Thank you! It’s fun being an aunt!
Sue: Go ahead! I stole this idea from someone else!
Uncle Mikey: Yes, and when he acts like you, that is the only time he gets on my nerves! Haha. Just kidding!
Lazy Daisy: Thank you! It’s fun being an auntie!

The guitar is fun to learn although I thought it was a pain to carry till I started learning the euphonium
He sounds like a great kid!
What a nice TT. He sounds like a great kid.
How intriguing, Chelley, to give someone a dollar every time you see him. Imagine different amounts of coin per relationship. You’d really know where you stood….
Thanks for sharing your 13 this week.
Great TT and thanks so much for stopping by …
