William.... oh how I love you.

It's weird but some of my favorite moments with William are when we are driving in the car, he is SO observant points out everything to me as we are driving along and is so fun to talk with.

Me: "William..."
William: "yeah..."
Me: "Love you."
William: "Love you mommy."

He does it consistently every time I say love you.
Melts your little heart!

It's so funny, when I stop at a stop light William says from the back seat, go mom, go. Momma go!

I say Son, I can't go right now, we have to wait our turn. We have to wait for the light to change. Red means stop and Green means go.

We have had this conversation many times. Makes me laugh He will tell Brandon to GO daddy when he stops at a stop light too.

Today while I was at a stop light and the light just turned green William yells from the back seat GO mommy! I say OK I will the light turned green didn't it? I swear it HAD to be a coincidence, I don't even know if he can SEE the lights from where he's sitting?

William is big on "touch" when he was younger and fussy in his car seat I would hold his hand while I was driving and that helped. Same with when he was little and in the bassinet next to my bed. I would put my hand on him and he would be better. He LOVES to give hugs and LOVES to cuddle. At night when I am putting him to bed and he doesn't want to sleep, he comes walking out of his bed I am mad at him and say get into bed right now! he will say momma cuddle? cuddle momma!? It kills me! I want him to be able to go to sleep on his own and to not have to cuddle him to sleep! but oh how I love that he wants to cuddle with his momma! I know it wont last forever so I should just do it right? ugh, I'm afraid he is going to be like his dad was to his mom and know right what to say!

When I am getting mad at William and scolding him for something he has done he instantly looks at me and either A) gets inches from my face waves his little hand and says "hi mommy, hi mommy, hi mommy, and keeps saying it until I stop scolding him and I say "hi William" It's a pretty smart tactic if you ask me. Or B) he gives me hugs and kisses me on the mouth over and over! ha ha how do you continue to be mad and discipline him when he is doing things like that?the little bugger!

William is also very good at giving praise, Every single time I go to the bathroom and I flush the toilet William stops whatever hes doing puts down whatever hes holding so he can clap for me and say "yeaaa momma! yeaaa momma!" I say thank you William!
