Two of a Kind: William James

Last night Will told us he likes when we call him Will or William. He doesn't like when we call him William James because that means he is in trouble. This is true....and funny he figured out the pattern.

We love a good dance party. Lately Will puts a flower hair pin on his shirt (like a boutonniere) and will ask me to dance with him. Last night he walked up to me with his chest all buffed up, pointed a finger in my face and said, "Mom... I'm gonna marry you." We acted out our wedding and then danced it out. It was somewhat demanding. I hope when he asks someone for real he does it a little more sweetly, but hey he has time.

Will has gotten really into sports. He digs basketball and tennis the most right now. He is anxious to try football this fall. Will recited to us out of no where that Dark Blue and Orange is Chicago Bears. Light Blue is Lions. And Notre Dame only wears their green jerseys when it's a special occasion. I looked at Billy for confirmation. Apparently the kid was right. He even knows the whole Bear's fight song. (See below).

Will is also the #1 dinosaur fan in the house. He likes the Brontosaurus even though he acknowledges the T-Rex is the king. It's the long neck that he thinks is the coolest. We were lucky enough to be invited to an awesome friend's dino party before getting to see Sue at the Science Museum.
