Wednesday Williamisms

We had a rare night where William wanted to watch Snow White with me and "cuddle", yes he picked the movie and used the word cuddle.

He likes saying lines from movies after he watches them.  After seeing Snow White singing by the wishing well and watching the prince come up to her William repeated some lines......pretending to be the prince........"Hello, may I enjoy you?".............um son, I think he was saying "May I join you", not may I enjoy you.  Prince Charming might have gotten a slap in the face saying that one!

One Big Step

My little guy officially started preschool in August.  While it isn't a huge change for him since he's been at this school since he was 10 weeks old, it is still a big step. William has been at this montessorri forever, so he knows the kids and teachers well, but he was just moved into the official preschool class.

He also had to start wearing a uniform, which he doesn't seem to mind.  He really enjoys school so far, which mainly takes place in the mornings. His teacher, Mrs. Preeti is very sweet and works with each child at their own speed. 

I asked William what he wants to be when he grows up.  To date, he's only given me three different answers, but one wins out most of the time........TEACHER.  The other two were astronaut and doctor.  But he loves playing teacher at home to his "friends" (Pooh Bear, Tigger and the other stuffed animals).  He can definitely be bossy. 

So here's wishing my big boy a great year of preschool.  I know next year will be a really big step into public school and kindergarten, but for now we will hope this year prepares him for what is to come!

This is the best one yet....

As we are sitting at McDonald's enjoying breakfast one morning (well him, not me, I don't eat their food!), he looks at me and says, "Mommy, I love you." Of course right then a lady was walking by and stopped and just looked at me and said what a great son you have! I know - he's too sweet!

William is obsessed with Monsters Inc. lately.  It is his favorite movie and he watches it over and over. So this morning...."Mommy, the monster comes out of the closet and hides under the bed and then there are screams in a yellow jar to make ecticity."  Yeah, ecticity, not electricity.

After a long week working out of town in Vegas, I came home with my "natural" hair, which is very curly.  I don't wear it curly often and now that it is shorter, it is really curly.  I pick up William from day care after not seeing him for a week and first thing he says, "Mommy, why is your hair so silly?"

The bathroom is always interesting with William.  "Mommy, the big poop eats the little poop."  Gross kid!!!

As we are watching the opening ceremonies for the Olympics and commenting how it looks like the shire from Lord of the Rings.....Alan goes on to say that, "This is crap!"
William responds with "No Daddy, this movie isn't called crap!"

On Sunday afternoon, someone had a craving for a pink iced donut from Dunkin Donuts.  As we sit there eating our donuts, I hear "Mommy, I want to live here."  Me too, kid, me too!

"Mommy, I am obsessed with signs and trash cans."

"Mommy, my poo-poo really stinks."  I can't disagree.

Summer Fun

Summer isn't much different for William since he still stays in day care (Montessori school), but we try and bring in some fun activities on the weekends, plus his school does something fun each week on Wednesdays.  Here's some of the fun we've had this summer so far!

 Enjoying some rides at Sandy Lake Park for my company picnic!

 Checking out SafetyTown in Frisco, where he got to ride a bike through a small town.  He also had his face painted that day at school! He loved the little town with the stop lights he had to stop at etc.  We will definitely go back to SafetyTown.

 Of course there is also fun in the backyard with the water table....or mud table we should probably call it.

 And fun on the iPad with his cousin.

 Fun at the movies- catching BRAVE!

 He got to the ride the choo choo train at school.

 ....and meet an "astronaut" on the week they learned all the planets and about the solar system.

and made some fun fourth of July hats for their parade at school

Yo Ho, Yo Ho, A Pirate's Life for Me

 We took our little pirate to the Scarborough Faire Renaissance Festival back in mid May. It was pirate weekend, so of course William dressed the part.  He met many fair maidens that really loved his outfit, one sorceress even gave him some special stones for his treasure.

 William got his first lesson in jousting and did pretty well! We also visited the maze, saw the jousting tourney and rode some fun rides, all made of wood and human-powered!
