Doctor Visit

I was explaining to Will that he'd be going to see the doctor tomorrow...

Me: "Maybe he can fix your runny nose!"

Will: "Yeah, and maybe he can fix that ouch..." while pointing at the monster zit on my chin. Awkward.

Sneaky

Tonight, Will was watching a show on the iPad. I told him I was going to clean the bathroom while he finished his show, then it was time for bed.

When I came back, he had finished the first show and started another. I told him it was time to turn it off and go to bed. His response? "Go away....no, I mean, um...mom? The bathroom is still just a little bit messy..." with a sneaky little smirk! Ha!

What a Morning!

So...we left for work about 7:20 this morning, driving along to W's child care. He grabbed the iPad and was playing "Where's My Water?" I suddenly could hear liquid in the backseat...my first thought was that the game has really awesome sound effects! Ha....Will was throwing up EVERYWHERE! Poor thing. He started crying and saying, "I need a wipe!"
We pulled over and cleaned up a little...then headed into my classroom for some quick sub plans. Poor Will sat in a chair, crying and saying, "I just need some help cleaning up, mom!"
Once we got home, had a bath, washed the car/car seat/clothes/EVERYTHING....W started eating and says he's all better now. He pigged out on corn, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, beef jerky, and applesauce....isn't that just the grossest combination?

When he got dressed he said, "I'll wear something that will make me better!" and chose his "I love Nana" shirt! He's beginning to work the system, "Mom, I need that cereal. It makes me better."
Let's hope this is short lived....I'll be cleaning my car...That SMELL! Ew.

Primary Program

Our church meeting today was the Primary program. The nursery kids had a song to sing. At the practice yesterday, Will was not having it. He stood, saying, "I don't want to do it, mom!" in the saddest little timid voice. So, I didn't expect today to go well! As I gave him a pep talk this morning, he said, "No, mama, you sing. I'll sit on the couches (pews) and read those books (hymn books)." Ha!

But...as the Primary kids got up from their seats to go sing, Will joined in. It wasn't the nursery kids turn yet, but I didn't want to burst his little bubble. He was adamant, saying, "I go by myself, mom. All by myself!" He was so proud!

When it was actually time to sing, he just smiled...but it was cute and of course I was SO PROUD! One lady commented afterward that she had more fun watching me than watching the kids! Ha...I was just so happy watching him up there!

Church Bulletin

Today at church, Will opened the church program and moved his finger across the words like he was "reading" it...

It said: "Get some pizza....Get a treat....Get a snack...."

Will Funnies

Last night, W was brushing his teeth. He finished and let out a big sigh, then said, "Ah, I feel much better!" I said, "It feels good to have clean teeth!" He replied, "Fantastic, baby!"

Today, we were at City Creek looking at the stream. He spotted a fish and yelled, "SHARK!!!" Stopped some mall traffic!

Last week, we went shopping at Target and discovered that W is "so scared, mom!" to walk on the floor there. The reflection of the lights on the shiny linoleum floor freaks him out. I think it looks like the floor is moving? Not sure, but he scales the shelves trying to avoid the floor, or heads right to the carpet. It's actually kinda cute!

While at Target, I was paying and W found a toy by the check stand. When it came time to put it away, there was another customer blocking the way. Will looked right up at him and said, Move." while motioning with his hand. Luckily the guy was nice, because it was really pretty funny...and embarrassing! We had a little chat about saying, "Excuse me"...especially to strangers!

Will has also started calling me Josè! It's pretty funny to see people's faces when he calls his pale-faced, blonde-haired mom Josè! It started when I said, "No way, Josè!" to him, and he replied, "Yes, Josè!" And...it stuck!

He doesn't understand that someone/something can have more than one quality....like today I said, "You are my best guy!" and he said, "No mom, I'm Will!" and the tone he says it in is so cute, it's as if I keep forgetting his name or something!

Speaking of which...we were headed to Salt Lake to see my family. He knew we were seeing "Nana and Bobo", so when I said we were going to Salt Lake, he started crying, "Not go to Salt Lake City, go to Nana's!"

I've been trying to explain to him that "Nana and Bobo" are my parents (despite the circus sounding names!) and that Nick and Paul are my brothers. What an abstract concept! I was talking about it the other day and W said, "Not your brothers, mom. They are my buddies!"

Will has been telling me lately that he wants a baby brother AND a baby sister "at the SAME TIME mom!" Yikes! I asked what their names would be...brother is DooDoo and sister is DooDee!

Love this kid!
