Beach Trip

Will's First "Real" Haircut

After three really bad haircuts, done by yours truly, we decided that I should stop pretending like I'm a hairstylist and take Will to get his haircut, plus we needed to fix a little incident I had with the scissors. We went to our neighborhood Great Clips and the lady did a great job. Will was very calm the whole time and just sucked on his sucker. Here are a few pictures. Now, I really feel like my baby boy is a big boy with his haircut. I'm not so sure about the short-do. Len loves it, but I will probably let it grow a little bit more in the back.

The one weekend that my husband goes out of town

and I locked Will in the car without it running in the 100 degree heat. This has been a crazy weekend. I don't have any new pictures to post but I just had to write about my weekend so I can look back on it one day and laugh. Len went to Charlotte this weekend to be in a wedding and Will and I couldn't go because I just started school and I had inservice and couldn't miss it. When I got home on Friday, I got everything out of the car and put my keys in my purse and shut the door and tried to open the back door to get Will out. All of the doors were locked and I panicked! I called Len and asked him where the other key was and he had it on his keyring. I have NEVER done this before and the one weekend this happens, Len is out of town. I ran over to get my neighbor and he came over with his family and then I called 911. The police officer came over within minutes, siren going and told me that there was nothing he could really do. The locksmith was stuck in traffic and it would take him almost 45 minutes to get there so I started crying. My neighbor and the policeman tried to get in the car but couldn't so he had to bust the window out. I was on the other side with my neighbor's wife and daughter trying to get Will to close his eyes so the glass wouldn't spray on him. My neighbor cut his hand really bad when he busted the window and I felt so bad! Will was sweating so bad and starting to cry but you should have seen the look on his face when the window broke. He looked so shocked but needless to say, I didn't care how much it cost, I just wanted my baby out of that car! After I got Will to bed, I spent forever vaccuming up all the glass. I didn't realize how much glass is involved in a broken car window! Oh, what a night! We couldn't go anywhere all weekend because of the broken window and then Saturday afternoon, Will came down with fever, which he had on and off all day Sunday. He is perfectly fine today and went to Miss Teresa's. She said he was fine. School started today so summer fun as we know it is over. I have to go every day the first week but I will be back to part time next week and then we are off to the beach! I think we are going to have a good class this year and my goal is to stay positive! I will post some pictures of our beach trip when we get back. Have a great week and thanks for listening/reading my sob story about the weekend. Our life never seems to be boring!

Very tired boy

This is one very tired boy on Sunday afternoon. He slept for 3 1/2 hours! He had a busy week and was catching up.

New Pictures of Will

My sister took a few pictures of Will the other day. She is a fabulous photographer and really just does it for fun. She took a lot more and I think they are so good. We are long overdue for a haircut right now, I just can't bring myself to cut the front yet.

Montgomery Update-Will is having so much fun in Montgomery. He hasn't cried for me or Len one time. He won't even talk to me on the phone! I wanted to write down a few of the things he is saying right now so I won't forget. The funniest thing he says right now is I want eat! I want eat! He doesn't say what he wants to eat, just that he wants to. Every morning when he wakes up the first thing he says is "Daddy, bye bye, car" and while he's been in Montgomery, my sister said when he wakes up he says "mommy, bye bye, car." It's the cutest thing. My dad taught him this little hand shake jesture called a bump. It's a high five with a closed fist called a bump. Apparently, Will doesn't like the bump because when my dad asks him to do it he says, "no bump." Ann Welch has all of the Cedarmont Kids DVD's and Allison said that Will has been mesmerized by them. We have a few of the CD's and he loves them. They are great CD's for only $3.99 at Lifeway Christian Bookstore and have all of the classic children's bible songs.
