The things he says...

When you first become a parent, you relish every moment and are convinced you'll remember the smell of new baby skin, the coos and goos and all the little moments of this precious creation. Why wouldn't you? How couldn't you? Welllll, you just don't. Life moves every day and you fill your brain with new information and new memories. Not because you don't love your child(ren) but because you just can't store it all. That's why I like to write down the funny things Will says and does, take pictures and some video, how else will I remember? Lately, though, I can hardly keep up with the cute or funny conversations or statements Will makes! I can't catch everything (though Daniel says I sure do try) but I do document as much as I can so one day I can look back on this lovable innocence that is so fleeting. I love you Will!!!! Thanks for making me laugh my sweet boy! :)

Daddy tickled my armpits. That's how I got sick.

W: Here, you can have a drink of mine.

M: No thank you, I don't want to get sick.

W: NO WAY! Then we go back to the doctor and they say "What!? You back?" That's what they will say.

Mommy, I sick. I sick from not eating turkey sandwich.

I didn't poo. That's why I'm sick.

D: Jackahoos love the hoboshack. In fact, the hoboshack is a jackahoo paradise!"

W: I not a jackahoo paradise, you are! That's not very nice, you don't call me that!

D: I didn't call you anything.

W: You just not saying Will.

D: I didn't call you a jackahoo, I just said the hoboshack is a jackahoo paradise. So if you're not a jackahoo then it doesn't apply to you.

W: I'm going to be a jackahoo for Halloween! You know what a jackahoo is?!?

D: A word I made up...

W: It's a bad guy!

10/12-

W: I had a bad dream about tigers!

M: You did?!!

W: When I was at the zoo they broke the glass and scratched me up. And they bit me 'cause they scratched me up. They stuck a stick on my back and elbow.

I was not flying.

Then Jesus helped me. He told the bad tigers to go somewhere else.

-love this! especially 'cause Will is always so animated when telling stories like this-
