As I look through the pictures on my phone, the first thing that comes to mind is how much he loves his sisters. He REALLY loves those sisters. His adjustment to having two babies in the house has been as good as we ever could have hoped.
Recently, he has developed a bit of an attitude. Some of the angry phrases are "No way!" "You can't tell me things." "It's mine!" He will sometimes string together all of the words he thinks are mean/bad: "No! Not ever! Never again! Not evermore!" However, the
biggest issue that we have is his angry face. He really enjoys making angry faces and glaring at just about EVERYONE (except his sisters). Below, Will is sternly telling Papa Doug something. It is hard not to laugh.
Still, there are some times when he is the sweetest boy ever. He loves cuddles and massages of all kinds. He will sometimes wake up in the middle of the night and call me in to rub his feet.
He has been fully potty trained for a couple of months now. It was so much faster than I thought it would be. I would like to find some kind of preschool to send him to in the Fall, and I thought we should start the potty training several months before that. He had been talking about going to preschool, so I decided to use that as motivation. I told him that if he wanted to go to preschool, he couldn't wear diapers anymore. About two days later (with a few minor accidents), we were done! He wanted to go to preschool immediately. Oops. I really had thought it would take weeks or even months, so I had to make our own "preschool" at home until he is old enough to actually go somewhere. He loves his "calendar time" that we get to do when the babies are napping.
He is funny and thinks he is very sneaky. When there is something that he wants up on the kitchen counter, he will carry a box (or other suitable climbing object) into the kitchen, and say, "Mom... You go check on the babies..." Ha ha. Sometimes I let him get away with it.
He keeps life interesting and we love him!

that's adorable! I love how preschool was such a great motivator! Michael loves being potty trained and going to school. Good luck with the angry face, if you figure out how to change it let me know, i need it over here!
Those three couldn't ask for a better mom! And those girls couldn't have asked for a better big brother. I've heard boys are harder to potty train so I'm thrilled to hear you prove that one wrong!
