Where do I start with Will? He has definitely grown up quite a bit this year. He turned four years old, but seems to be going on 13. Seriously. It is really weird. He already has that teenage attitude. On the other hand, he keeps us laughing. He really does have a quick wit about him. He is very funny and comes up with some things that leave us not knowing what to say.











As you can tell, he loves super heroes and Star Wars. Cannot get enough of them. PJs, action figures, movies, costumes, pretend play, conversation... you get the picture? It has been pretty fun to watch him.


Colin is getting older and has become a playmate for Will. He loves Colin very much. It is really cute to see him being protective of him like a big brother should. One time at the doctor's, Colin was getting ready to be swab tested for Strep Throat. Will got upset and tried to cover his mouth so the nurse couldn't get to him. Then another time when Colin was getting shots he said, "I can't watch!!"

They also love to wrestle. Sometimes with daddy, but sometimes just the two of them. I heard them down in the basement one day laughing and carrying on. I kind of wondered what was going on , but didn't hear crying or screaming so I didn't investigate. A little while later Will comes up the stairs shirtless with red marks all over his chest. I asked him what they were doing. He said, "Oh we were just wrestling. I was calling Colin my master." (I am assuming this is related to Star Wars) Then I hear Colin coming up the stairs. Will says, "Here comes my master!" Ok. Just Will calling Colin his master is funny enough to me, but then Colin appears and he is shirtless with red marks all over his chest and back too! I don't even want to know what happened! I do know that Colin does not know how to take off his shirt. Will helped him out with that one!




Will also became a big brother to Jack this year. He was very interested in him from the beginning. He asked to hold him a bunch. The first time he held him in the hospital he said, "Maybe we can we keep him!" How sweet! I'm sure that Jack will get in on the fun with Will and Colin soon enough!






Here is Will with Peter. They are buddies. That is for sure. One day Will looked at Peter and said, "Daddy, you're my best friend!" What a compliment! Peter taught Will how to play computer games this year. Yes, he created a monster! He loves to play and is proud that he can do it all by himself! I'm reluctantly proud too. I can't stand the computer games. There are a lot of buttons to push for different things. I don't know how to do it at all! Too complicated.






Will continues to be a cuddler. He still loves to play with my hair while he sucks his thumb. He's not totally grown yet. Sometimes it is scary how much alike we are! Perfectionists, hot-tempered.... of course I notice the bad traits! I'd like to think that I have taught him some of his jokes, but I'm not sure. I think Veggie Tales has a big influence. He is a fan of the physical humor like me. I sat and watched him crack up at Veggie Tale outtakes. That's something else like me. He loves to watch the special features on DVDs. Drives Peter nuts!






Will tried his hand at WeeBall this year. He did not care for the outfield, but he loved to bat! He really seemed to enjoy himself for the most part. He loves being around other kids and this was a great opportunity for him to meet some new friends. One time as his name was called to go up to bat he told everyone in the dugout, "Ok everyone, you say GO WILL!" What a nut!




Ok. It has taken me all day to write this much which I realize is quite a bit. I'm sure there will be more Will stories in future blogs. I need to get them written down or I will forget. Looking forward to another fun filled year with Will and his adventures!
