Animatronic
So we are in Wal-Mart and walking past the Halloween aisle, Will notices a very large witch on the top shelf that moves when you walk past her. He does NOT like it.
"The joker is scary mom." Will
"Don't look at it. Just keep your head down." Me
Later, we have to walk past the aisle again....
"There it is!" Will (he quickly puts his head down and looks at the floor)
"Just keep walking Will." Me
Lauren has to show me a decoration...so we stop in the aisle.
Will is sneaking glances at the witch and shaking his head.
"It's animatronic. It's not real." Will (talking to himself)
The lady standing a few feet away gapes at my 2 year old.
I laugh and grab his hand. This kid is so smart!

Summer Vacation
This year we went to Myrtle Beach, SC with my family. My mom and dad rode their motorcycle down. My sister Liz rode in a mini-van with Dan, I and the three kids. My sister Amanda, her husband, their son rode in a mini-van with my cousin Courtney, her husband, and their son. We drove straight through....enough said. We had a great time together. Just check out the pictures!

A cautionary tale...
I came home today to find Will sleeping on the couch in Courtney's lap. I smile and say "What's up with this?" Courtney looks at me (with a scared look) and tells me that Will's dresser fell on top of him. I suddenly feel very sick to my stomach. She proceeds to tell me that she heard a loud crash and went to the bottom of the stairs. She heard him screaming, so she ran up to his room. When she opened the door, she saw just his head sticking out from underneath his dresser. Now this dresser is quite tall and VERY heavy. Courtney said she really had to pull to get it up off of him. Something should have been broken in his very tiny little body, but he is fine. This is the sort of thing that you read about in Parents magazine. I'm just glad that he is alright. I told Dan that he needs to get that dresser anchored to the wall as soon as he gets home tomorrow night! So for all of you out there with kids...anchor their dressers to the wall!!!!!

Big Boy
We changed Will's bed from a toddler bed to a full size bed last week. He was so excited to help out! He kept taking the screws and tools and trying to "fix it". Dan was trying so hard to be patient with him. When we put the mattress on, he wanted to climb up. I told him he had to wait until I put on the sheets. The sheets were Alec's when he was in the bed...Spiderman. Talk about being excited! Will kept calling it his "Spiderman bed". He climbed up and rolled around on it. Then I said, "Time for your pajamas so you can sleep in your new Spiderman bed!" He looks at me and says clear as a bell..."I'm not sleepin in dis bed." Transition can be difficult.
