William

I feel gypped when it's COLD without snow; my get-up-and-go sorta freezes... for everything: blog, dishes, laundry, mopping (Ugh! Stupid white tile floors!) etc. Snow makes me giddy; cold just makes me... cold. Deep, right? ;) Looks like we *might* get snow next Sunday! I would be so happy!


So. William.




Bless his heart. I love this boy!! He is tenderhearted, and especially loves his mother. Last night I tucked him in bed and he said "Goodnight sweet girl!". He makes me laugh every day, like this morning saying "FELICITY, I'm done with my cereal!"... I guess "mom" wasn't catching my attention. He is getting so much better at sharing with his brothers. Cameron is his best friend and he'll do just about anything to make Andrew laugh. He's a fast learner, he's strong, he's a talented lego builder and artist. I'm so lucky to have this young boy in my life!

Sweet William's ideal is to be in control around this house. Who says the prayer, who is in time-out, what movie to watch, what to eat for breakfast, where people can sit at the table. William is the most adorable little wanna-be-dictator that you'll ever set eyes on. My sweet, beautiful, challenging boy. I make him sound worse than he really is there-- he's actually been making great progress on his flexibility in relation to HIS wants vs what is best for the general population. One of his frequent dictates, that I'm often, but not always, happy to give in to is "Mom! Take my picture!" Haha... I can only blame myself here, for having my camera in his face so often!


"Mom! Take a picture of me sleeping!"


"Mom! Take a picture of me with this picture on my face!"

This is a picture that I colored some time last year (I'm talented, right?!). William found it last week and wanted to color the same picture. He was also greatly distressed that the picture had no eyes (the coloring book has eyes on the back page to go w/every page). Loving mother that I am, I traced the picture for him. He spent an hour and half coloring his picture nearly identically to how I had colored mine. My amazing little artist-- he really is talented.


See? This is a fireman! Check out that hat! And those hands. I'm pretty sure I wasn't drawing thing this... obviously human until well into Kindergarten. haha. I need to scan more of his drawing and put up a full post for the blog. :)


THIS unfortunate face (on such a beautiful child) is William's "Angry Face". Fortunately, it isn't there too often. ;)




My silly boy. Can't resist Momma's tickles.
