Quick update

Will is doing great, and he's keeping us all on our toes. Yesterday, when I went to pick him up from school, I was called into the director's office. She told me all about the fire drill they'd had that afternoon...oh yeah, the one that Will caused when he pulled the fire alarm in his classroom.

Long story short, Will and the other kids in his class were getting ready to go outside, so they were in their rolling crib. (Its easier to get a class full of kids outside, some that walk and some that don't, this way.) The rolling crib was next to the alarm on the wall. I learned today that Will had been keeping an eye on that alarm for a while. When his teacher turned her head, he saw his chance. He apparently scooted the crib closer to the wall, and when the alarm went off, he started laughing. It turns out that he actually broke the lever, so maintenance had to come out to fix it. Luckily the alarm has a mute button!

Everyone at his school thinks the whole story is hilarious. Thankfully. Oh, we love our little monkey!!

Will loves reading. Here he is with some of his favorite books.

This is not a shock to anyone who knows Gus, but Will is quite the mini-techie. He's figured out how to get my iphone out of my purse pocket, and he thinks it is his. Here he is playing Elmo's Monster Maker.

Will started swim classes a few weeks ago. He is a little fish! He loves splashing, floating on his back and putting his face in the water. We're really excited that our friends Tiago and Gabi and Julie and Jacob joined the class, too. We're having such a great time!

We're still here!

Will is growing by leaps and bounds. When I was little, my PawPaw Robert would say that my dad was putting fertilizer in my shoes. I think he'd probably say the same about Will. He's 25 lbs, 30 inches.

Walking has quickly progressed to running and climbing the stairs. Its so cute when Gus chases Will around the house. They're adorable together.

There's nothing Will won't eat. He loves, loves, loves his fruit, and he goes through an entire family sized bowl of mixed fruit from Publix every week. He really loves his veggies, too, especially butter beans. Will likes to share food. He wants to try whatever is on our plates, and he wants to put food from his tray in our mouths. He'll even take food out of his mouth to share with us. That's probably only something a parent could truly appreciate. =)

He loves to read his books, especially a book from Aunt Lydia about farm animals. He loves the dog in the book, and he even kisses it! He's trying very hard to say "dog", and he just cracks up when we bark for him. We're trying to learn the farm animal sounds, and tonight, he said "baa" for the lamb and tried really hard to bark for the doggie, too!

Here are a few pictures...
