{Sweetness}

Raising a toddler is definitely challenging. Lots of convincing(negotiating), whys and whats but it's also the sweetest age. My favorites at the moment:

• Ask William what do lil boys say? He'll answer: "I love you Mommy" Awww!
• He'll say, Mommy big kiss and leans over and showers me with kisses. I love this!

{William's 1st Trip To The Circus}

Last weekend was special, it was our first family trip to the circus-The Big Apple Circus. I love the big tent set up for this circus. It really made for an intimate experience. Our sits were so close to the acts. William did "decent" throughout the show. The show has a lot of acrobatic performances and it was a lil different from what he was expecting. The books that we read about circus show plenty of animals---zebra, lion, giraffe, elephant, etc. He didn't see any in the show so he felt indifferent. Ed and I on the other hand certainly LOVED the show!Yummy cotton and cracker jacks! Hmmm....the smell of it really reminds you of circus.
Ed and me.

Featured performer, Bello was hilarious! Impressive how skilled he is with all the acts.

Can you say wow!

What was really impressive about the Big Apple Circus is their commitment to both the communities that they perform in. The circus is a non-profit organization and offers a number of outreach programs that sends performers into pediatric hospitals, seniors centers and care homes and school.

{We Got Snow}

Atlanta had 3 inches of snow last Friday. The next day the town was covered in snow and it was so purrrrty :)William and me. Pardon the hair mess it was really early.
William and Ed had so much fun playing in the snow.

William got me (and my camera)!

Here's a fun video of us playing in the snow!

"Reading"

William always loved books. We read about 3-4 books as part of our night time routine. These are long story books too. Amazing how he sit still to all of them. It's also very common to find him sitting in his room flipping thru pages of books. I don't exactly know where he gets this interest (since both Mom and Dad are technical and not big readers :)). But, hey I'll take it!

Lately, he's been big into "reading" the story to us. Technically, it's probably picture recognition, but hey I still think it's pretty cool! Gotta start somewhere :) We are sooo proud of him!

{Big Boy Bed}

Look who moved to his new toddler bed! William absolutely LOVES it! He's been sleeping in his big boy bed since day 1. He's so proud that he can climb in it all by himself. He also enjoys sitting in his bed while reading books. He loves his Toy Story beddings and pillow. All of his stuffed animals (Eeyore, Tigger, George, Mickey, Koala bear) moved to his new bed as well.

William has always done well with transitions. Let's hope the same goes for when his lil sister arrives in May. He's been really good at pointing to stuff for the baby and saying it's for his baby sister!

Oh Daddy

William loves playing chase with Ed. You'll often hear him say, "Get me Daddy". It's hilarious!
