Who's prettier?
We went to our friend Ysabel's house to watch the Gators play yesterday. Yzzie was kind of acting like Will's babysitter. They were sitting on the couch together reading In Touch magazine, looking at the celebrity babies - Yzzie would ask if will thought the girls were pretty (to which he said yes). Then someone suggested he should tell us "Who wore it better" (to those confused, it's something in all those magazines where they put a picture of two different celebrities wearing the same outfit, and then a poll as to who people thought wore it better). Yzzie said, "Who is prettier, her or her?" Will answered with an emphatic "ME!"

Lots of Cuteness
Will said lots of funny things today. so if i can remember them correctly...
1. The morning began with me working on the computer. Will came in and said, "Mommy, you have a happy face!" I turned around and asked why, and he said, "Because I love you!" I squealed and made him come kiss me and love me and then he said, "ummm, maybe i go Uga in my pants?" (which meant he had!!!!) What a little twirp buttering me up on purpose so i wouldn't be so mad at him for going in his diaper.
2. Michael was outside mowing, and Will would go back and forth between the front and back windows to watch him. He detoured once and went back to the window and said in a really slow, high pitched sad voice, "Oh No! Where did Michael go?.... I have a saaad face. :("
3. When he woke up from his nap we had to go immediately to church for handbell practice. While i was unlocking the doors, he walked out into the grass and said, "Oh No! What did Michael do to my grass?!?" He was not very happy. Papa tells me he was having fun falling down into it last night (it was pretty high)
4. On the way home from handbells he saw a building with bricks on it. The only thing Will knows about bricks is that there are brick roads near Kristen's house, and he loves driving over them. He saw it and told me, "There's a brick house!" So i was going to tell him that Gran and Papa had a brick house too, but i was trying to get him to guess who. So first i asked him who his favorite person in the whole world was, and he told me "those ladies at church last night" - which makes no sense since we didn't go to church last night. so then i asked him whose house he always wants to go to, that he always says to them, "i wanna go to your hay-ouse (his accent)". and he told me, "i can't go to TWO houses, mom! i have to go to gran's house to make a scarecrow!" (we were on our way to pick up pizza to have a pizza party at gran's to make a scarecrow).
anyways, it was a fun day!

Monsters?
Will is now very afraid of monsters, and we have no idea why. I don't know how to handle it. I keep trying different tactics, but none seem to have any effect on him. And everytime he tells me the monsters are going to get him, and I have to come up with some response, i freak out. What if I choose the wrong reaction? Will it scar him for life (or childhood)? Should I ignore it and tell him he's fine, the monsters won't get him, there are no monsters (we have tried all)... Or should I proactively teach him how to defend himself against them (i taught him how to beat them up, and to tickle them). we turned on all the lights and scared them away. we locked them outside so they couldn't get in..... Nothing is working! If you have any advice, send it my way. or refer me to someone who can! thanks!
We have lots of teeth!
So Kirstine got her 2 bottom teeth a few weeks ago, but we finally have a good picture of them (thanks to Valerie).
She is also now getting all 4 top teeth in! if you are looking at them and number them 1 - 4 from left to right, #1 and #3 had already broken through, but you could see 2 and 4. that was this morning. When i got her up from her 2nd nap, there was blood all over her blanket, and tooth #2 had broken through. We found no other signs of booboos, so we are assuming her tooth bled when it came through. some of the blood spots on the blanket appeared to be surrounded in drool, so that is more evidence.

Waving and Talking?
Kirstine started waving "bye bye" yesterday at church. I think she first did it to baby Gage (my cousin Adam's son). She liked him a lot! But she did it a lot today, and she is sometimes waving hi"" as well.
She has been saying "DaDa" for a while now, but we weren't positive she was actually saying the word - we thought it might just be the sound. But she often times looks at scott when we say it. And she said "MaMa" once the other night. i can't get her to do it again. but she definitely looks at me when we say it.
Everytime we try with mama, will comes up and yells, "It's not MaMa, IT'S MOMMY!!!" Also he told me the other day that he didn't want her saying mommy or daddy, and i asked him what he wanted her to say, and he said "Bubba". So he definitely wants that to be her first word.
