6 Miles

This morning, Alex came running into the living room saying "Oh no! The monster's coming! Everybody close your eyes!"

James asked him who the monster was and he said "Weel" (Think someone saying "wheel", but really drawing out the "ee" sound–that's how he says Will).

This evening James and I were talking about a dream of some day moving to a new house. Alex told us "I get a new house". I said "Really? How are you going to do that?" He said "I get a new house for my birfday."  I just had to laugh and couldn't think up a good response.  (Can you tell Will realizes he has a birthday coming up and has started to "think outloud" what he might like to have/get?)

I got my hair cut yesterday. Chopped of ALL of it, and I like it a great deal. Will thinks it looks "Boring" and not like his mommy. Alex thinks it looks "Silly". Good thing I don't look to them for affirmation!
