All about Will

Okay the blog has been a bit Reina-heavy lately and that's primarily because Will doesn't sit still long enough for me to get a picture. This almost-three-year-old is growing by leaps and bounds. Other than the occasional "you're not my best friend Mom," he has a lot of interesting things to say and hysterical comments about the world around him. Will can count to 12 consistently (the "teens" give him a little trouble), knows most colors and shapes and is obsessed with all things robot. The alphabet is still a mystery to him but we are working on it. He saw a map of the 50 states the other day and excitedly informed me "That's 'merica Mom!" When we stop at a red light, Will says "Red means stop." He knows that green means go and I'm know trying to un-teach him that yellow means "go as fast as you can."
The current robot obsession has replaced the firetruck/fireman phase that we went through a few months ago. He still likes firetrucks and Fireman Sam is his favorite tv show. (Check out the link - it's set in Wales and it's a bit weird but delightfully so.) Anyway, Will loooooooves robots. His hand/eye coordination is getting pretty good and he can make a robot of his legos pretty quickly. At school he loves to draw robots, color pictures of robots, and pretend to be a robot. Can you guess the theme for his birthday party next month?
We had another big snowstorm over the weekend and after feeling a bit of cabin fever on Sunday, Will and I ventured outside. No, he didn't do a face plant. The kid just loves to eat snow. I had to include this last picture. Both Will and Reina love to get pony rides on their Dad's knee. It results in lots of giggles and shrieking. A great time is had by all, except maybe Glenn's knees.
