Wil


I've just got to remember the stage wil is at right now, he drives me crazy but the love for this strong willed mean little boy i have is overwhelming.
He and I have been really butting heads lately, he never.... pretty much never listens the first time, i always have to threaten him with something, and then usually the threats get carried out, he spends alotta time in time-out. He gets frustrated sooo easily and yells alot!! I feel like i am constantly making him do things. Even when i'm trying to do something fun! I know we will get out of this funk eventually, because while he can be so mean he is also the best kid in the whole world! He is too smart for his own good, he is hilarious and constantly doing things to try and make us laugh. He is sooo into the airbender (as we all know too well) lol but its just him, He has an airbender staff that he carries around with him like a security blanket, and he usually sleeps with it. I will go in to tuck him in at night and have to pry it out of his hands and recover him up. He is crazy excited for halloween and his airbender costume, he talks about it every single day, a few times a day. We finally made a paper count down chain for halloween so he doesn't wake up everyday hoping that its halloween. We told him that we could shave his head so that he could have a point on his head like the airbender, so he talks about that constantly, and wants to shave his head today. Everyone he meets he tells that he is going to be the airbender.... apparently not everyone knows who the airbender is.... waitresses, random people at meijer.... lol
He is so completely different that his little brother, Coop doesn't freak out nearly as bad as Wil does, or did at his age. So i know its not all my fault, i just have to stick with it and be consistent, but man does he drive me crazy!!

Oh my Gosh Elise...Kai is at this stage too. He doesn't listen the first time and spends lots of time either in time out or his room (worse of the two). He is so crazy and wild, yet funny and so sweet.We will remember these times and laugh...hopefully;)

But he is so Darn CUTE! Just look at that face:) Great picture of him! This faze will pass. Logan and Tanner were like that at age three and now they are darling and listen all (well most) of the time:)

I love his hair though...and I vote no shaving it for Halloween:)

I can't believe how big he is! Boy can I relate...Maya is such a challenge! She's constantly testing me in every way imaginable. Then there's my sweet lil Jadan who doesn't give me any problems :)

That's SO funny about airbender! Maya is the same but her obsession is with Princess Tiana. I ordered her costume online and she asks me every freakin day for it! Good idea about the countdown calendar...I'm gonna do that myself!

Miss you guys!
