Karen feels as though she is always leaning something new when it comes to rearing boys. William doesn't cut her much slack either. Coming from all girls, Karen didn't grow up with critters, wrestling, and heaven forbid dirty clothes. William definitely keeps mom and his older sisters on their toes. Karen has learned a few lessons from this little one. The first and foremost lesson is when cleaning his clothes ALWAYS feel the pockets of his shorts from the OUTSIDE before sticking the hand inside the pocket. [I will save the readers with weak stomachs all that has been pulled out.] One of his biggest delights is going to preschool. He absolutely loves playing with other boys. The teacher doesn't bother filling out an accident report anymore. I think she has learned that is going to be an everyday experience with him. He usually has at least 2 band aids on his body at one time during each day. Since school takes in at 7:45 am, mom usually lays out every one's clothes the night before to make the mornings run as smoothly as possible. We are so blessed to get "hand-me downs" from the cousins in Alabama. William has a favorite outfit: camouflage shorts with an orange football t-shirt (you will see it in previous blog pictures if you look). Usually some time after mom and dad go to bed, William sneaks out of bed and exchanges the clothes his mom picked out for his favorite outfit. Surprisingly, he even puts up the outfit his mom desired for him to wear back in his drawers. Usually, he is understanding when he doesn't get to wear it, but it is still a laugh in the early morning hours. I commented that we probably got our last big picture of Anne-Marie with her baby teeth. We are very glad William still has his teeth! (Though we have swollen mouths and had to made dentist calls).
