I'll never forget the first time I saw this little guy. He looked right into my eyes, as if to say, "oh, it's so bright in here, what just happened to me?" I got to bring him home 2 days later on MY birthday. Those first weeks/months with Will were tough. That child didn't sleep through the night until he was 9 months old. We tried every tactic people would tell us to try. He had acid reflux and colic. So he kept us on our toes, but boy was he ever sweet. He got passed around to dozens of people every Sunday at church and would just smile and make them feel so loved. I have to tell you, Will is a trooper. Paul and I have felt so many times like we are "winging it" as parents. Will has gone along with so many of our new "family plans", or "rules". I'm sure in his little mind, he was thinking....here they go again, trying to figure me out and change things around on me. But he always goes along with it. Even now. Today has actually been a rough day with both my boys. (just before I typed this Will threw dirt all over his little brother, so I had to give Wes a bath before naptime - agh!) They are both in their rooms. Wesley for a nap, Will for time-out. But even now as he's sitting up there, I'm thankful for him and the things he's taught me. I remember my gramma saying that your kids will teach you so much. They really have! Will's birthday is tomorrow, October 8th. I'm going to have a 6 year old. These years have flown by. Will is so much like his daddy. In every way. They look alike, they walk alike, etc...One of my favorite pictures of the two of them is this one from our family beach trip when Will was 2. Daddy and Will walking on the beach together.
Will and his buddy Cobe. Happy birthday Will! (As if he will read this!:)
