Will is Five!

Five Favorite things about Will on his Fifth Birthday.

1. He still has the cutest smile around.

2. He's really sensitive. He's rough and tough on the outside, but on the inside, he is so caring and worried about others. He checks my PiCC line everyday to make sure the bandages are on correctly. He has also started to gang up on Cort and I when he punish Duke because he wants to protect his little bro.

3. He will stop what he's doing about ten times a day and say, "I love you Mom."

4. He can dress/undress, brush his teeth, potty, get basic food from the fridge, open packs of fruit snacks, buckle his seatbelt...all by himself. So nice for me.

5. Has such a vivid imagination. He was obsessed with air traffic controllers a few weeks ago and created many make believe scenarios from that. Now we're on to fire stations. He runs a ton of fire drills in our house. Right now you trade off from being a fireman to a "struction worker".

Happy Birthday Will! You are such a special kid. You amaze me every single day. The jump you have made from four to five is one of the many examples of how hard you've worked and how far you've come. We're so proud of you! You are totally on board with us having another baby-your brother is not. You are the epitome of a little boy and you come home filthy, with scraped knees, everyday! Just the way we like it.
