Will is 5!

Oh my goodness, where did my little boy go???
He is riding his bicycle without training wheels! He did the monkey bars once!
He had a Spiderman birthday party with a few friends.
He prefers to only wear shorts and shortsleeved shirts. If he must wear long sleeves, he usually asks us to "sleeve them up" (roll them up.) :) Sometimes he also does this to his long jeans or pajama bottoms!
He is so sweet and loving to AJ and Nina. He is really helpful! He does a great job setting the table and is working on clearing the table too. He writes his name and understands that he has a middle name. Nina gets that part mixed up and has asked to go to Sander Robbs' house! I tried to explain it was William Aleksandr Robbs - all one person. That didn't work. Will got very adamant that HE was William Aleksandr R... But you know her, you can't argue with her. They both are right! Oh yeah, Will can count to - I think 70 or so with just a prompt here & there. We start homeschooling soon. I can't wait to see how he approaches reading. My dad (a reading specialist) has helped me look for curriculum but we just won't know until we start.
Will got his first big finger injury. It involved a shopping cart wheel. The nail wasn't torn completely off so it has to stay covered until it does. He does a great job protecting it. It isn't tender or painful at all, even though he complains and hollers about me wanting to clean it. He never winces! As long as he can't see it, he's pretty good with it! We soaked it in the tub a few nights ago. He complained that it hurt, but once a washcloth was around the finger he didn't complain at all!
I hate that this isn't getting updated more often. He still is growing and changing so much. I'll try to get better at this!
