I am acutely aware that these are the precious moments I should be treasuring, as I will miss them one day.
— Sprinklers. He loves to drink from them (“agua! agua!”) He also likes to stand under the spray, point up in the air, and say “rain!”
— Sampling the smells of different candles. Will insists on having equal opportunity to “sniff” each lid. (His sniffs are actually snorts, but he is very intent on doing this with everyone. In fact, if you sniff one without sharing, he’ll point and command a re-visit until he’s been allowed to share in the scent.)
— If he passes a candle, no matter if it’s lit or not, he “blows” on it.
— At the bedside, he puts up his arms and commands “three! three! three!” until he is picked up and tossed into the pillows: “one…two…THREE!”
— When pushing his lil’ tikes shopping cart, he never slows down for corners, walls, people, pets, or other potential hazards. He takes them all head-on, full-speed.
— While getting his diaper changed, he picks up the fresh diaper and tells you who is on the front (Elmo, Ernie, or Grover).
— He loves to run full speed into your legs (you have to be careful to bend a bit, or he’ll knock you right over) and plant a big kiss on whatever part of the body he hits.
— When nursing and cuddling in my arms, he reaches up, honks my nose, and smiles.
