Now that he is running, he is having more injuries. Here is his carpet-burned nose from falling while kicking a ball at daycare.
Yesterday, I picked Will up from daycare. Heather (his teacher) said, "Will, tell Mama your new word." He just smiled at her. She said, "Tell Mama what your favorite part of the day is." Nothing -- he just grinned at her. Then, he ripped out his pacifier and yelled, "Nack!" Yes, folks - snack is his favorite part of the day!!!!
Then, today, I called to check on him at daycare. I call them everyday around 1:00 so I can see how his morning went, and if he ate a good lunch. When Heather answered, she told me that she had a Will story for me. She said that as soon as the phone rang, she told the other teacher, "I'll bet that's Kristi." She said that Will immediately put his hands up and was looking at the door asking for Mama. She said that she never said mama or Will's mom, just Kristi. So, he apparently knows my first name!!!! Today she said she was trying to teach him to say Heather...so far he just says, "Edder" but she thinks it won't be long!!!
It is stories like this that make our rough nights (like last night) so worth it. Will went to sleep at 8 and was awake at 9 wanting to play. After screaming and throwing a large tantrum to get out of bed, I went in to check on him. He was standing in the corner of his crib hanging onto the rail and crying. As soon as he saw me, he THREW his pacifier across the room. I attempted to rock him twice, and was having to hold him down in my lap as if I were bulldogging a baby calf. On the third attempt, one hour and 35 minutes later, he was "sleeping like a baby." Whoever came up with that term ought to be shot -- they must have never had a baby!!!!
