CARS........the movie

What is it about taking a picture of your child with their new school lunch box that makes them look so old? Will has become a fan of CARS and LIGHTENING MCQUEEN and you can often hear him walking around the house saying phrases like, I AM SPEED, or KA CHOW! Or he'll say mama,,,,,Mack says.......pretty music..... Mader says......and he makes a sound of what the tractors make when he is tractor tipping. A whole new world of boy things have opened up for me. It rained tonight and Will and I were walking the dog walking paths in our subdivision. When we came to the road there was a big puddle. He was of course curious about it and asked what it was. I told him a puddle and he proceeded to check it out. He wasn't sure if it was deep or not by the look on his face so I told him it was not deep. That was the invitation he needed to jump right in.... Then he stuck his hand in the puddle and pulled up some mud and grass clippings and had a good ol time with that. It was pretty priceless watching him jump in the puddle. His lunch box went with him on the walk too. He put it way to the side before he jumped in the puddle. He sure did not want any mud getting on his newest prize possession.
On another note, Will had more immunizations today. 3 of them. We pulled up to the building and he knew exactly where we were. He did not want to go into the dr's office. Well, Jacklyn and I got him into the lobby and we played as we were waiting. Then Jacklyn took him in the hallway bathroom and he pulled an escape artist on her and headed back out to the parking lot straight to our van........clever little guy. After the crocodile tears from getting the 3 shots(he didn't mind the first 2 times getting shots, but now I think he realizes what is going to happen and pretty much is not happy about it) Jacklyn and Mommy went to Target which is across the road and got him a Mack trailer truck to add to his CARS collection. He thought that was pretty cool.
