Happy Birthday Will!

Today is Will's 2nd birthday! Hard to believe that it's been 2 years since he burst into our lives. Glenn and I bought him a basketball hoop because he's very interested in basketball right now. How fitting that his birthday falls on the first day of March Madness this year huh? Anyway, Will loves to watch basketball and as we discovered this morning, he loves to put the basketball in the hoop. The hoop is low enough that he's only working on the 2-handed dunk right now. Once we move it out of the (newly painted and still in disarray) living room, we'll raise the backboard a little bit so he can practice actual shots. Is it possible to be a basketball savant? Is it too early to start imaging myself 17 years from today sitting in some coliseum watching my son lead the Wyoming Cowboys to a first-round win in the NCAA tournament?

Here he is practicing his turn-around jump shot. Actually he's trying to figure out how to simultaneously hold his basketball and the four matchbox airplanes that Aunt Vicky bought him - so that no one else can play with them.

On Saturday, Will's preschool had a little program and fundraiser. Will's class sang a couple songs. Will, however, did not. He wouldn't go up on the stage unless I went with him and during the songs, he jammed his whole hand in his mouth. I guess we don't have to worry about him ever appearing on "American Idol" or headlining a Chippendale's revue. Of course later that afternoon, from the safety of his own home, he sang all the songs and even did a little dance.
