So here are a few updates about Will - categorized.
Funny Things
Tonight he came out of bed to the railing and said, "um, I can't get my covers right." That just cracked me up - this vision of just plain not being able to cover oneself with a blanket. Plus, proof that it is colder than normal in the house because he's usually spread eagle without covers.
His voice immodulation syndrome (cut to Will Ferrell's skit on this on SNL) seems to be getting worse. Unless he is in a breathy whisper, EVERYTHING IS THE SAME LOUD VOLUME AND TONE. WHICH IS BAD BECAUSE IT IS HARD TO DISTINGUISH BETWEEN THINGS THAT ARE COMMON DIALOGUE AND THINGS THAT ARE EMERGENCIES.
Impressive Things
He recently read me a pretty long book from memory. This was something Paige was doing long before this and I was sure he knew them, just never expressed an interest in repeating them to me. He was very proud.
Then, tonight he pointed to every letter on his Lightning McQueen bed tent and told me what they were and what sound they made! (Thanks, Nicole, for the Letter Factory DVD).
Today Paige and I were playing a game where were made a rhythm with instruments and the other person had to duplicate it. Will decided to join in and didn't skip a beat! It was awesome!
So Funny It Probaby Shouldn't Be Shared Thing
Tonight while going to the bathroom before bed he was holding himself and asked, "Mom, are these ball bones in here?" You can imagine what he was feeling (I hope) and after the silence necessary to crack up I intelligently answered, "um, yeah, kind of." Will responds, "It's weird that these ones wiggle in your skin." Seriously! This is torture! I wanted to barge in on Rich and Paige (already bedtime reading) and share this with Rich. But instead I said, "yup, that's weird."
I mean, how do you even approach a question like that???!!!

Ok, cracking up. Just think, now you can just refer Cole's awkward questions to his big bro Will since he has just a handle on his body -quite insightful!!
so funny! we have had the "balls" discussion, too, but without the "bones" reference (by "we" i mean each of the two older boys and ME, not their father).
voice immodulation must be something that goes along with the second boy. for a long time, my brothers have referred to bennett as jacob silj (will ferrell's character). then it was shortened to just "silj" and bennett took offense, even though he had no idea what it meant!
Okay, so I'm 41, and the mother of one daughter. I don't understand the "ball bones". Was he referring to the twig or berries? If berries, does he really call them "balls"? Perhaps I need an anatomy lesson from your three year old...
You can stop laughing at me now. Seriously. No. Seriously.
oh, boys and their boy parts. kenny and i have had many discussions over that.
thanks for making me laugh today!
That's funny! Mike just asked me the same thing the other day!! :):)
