Happy Birthday Will

It is hard to believe my baby is 4. It seems like just yesterday I was holding him in my arms at the hospital looking at the wonderful creation God had blessed us with. This year for his birthday we were in route to Shreveport so we had several birthday "parties". The first was in his class at school. We took cupcakes & marshmallows for everyone to enjoy. After everyone finished eating Ms. Peach let Will be the class "singer" and he lead a few of his favorite songs which included "The Backwards Alphabet", "BINGO" & "Freeze". We learned several new impressive things about him that afternoon....the 1st being that he could say his ABC's backwards...or would you call it the ZYX"s? And the 2nd thing was that he could actually sing and dance. This is just something he does not do at home for Bill & I. Mrs Peach assures me that we are not the only parents that have made this discovery. And let me be clear about the discovery I speak of, it is not the singing & dancing so much as the fact that there are things she can get him to do at school willingly that he will absolutely not do at home. I was so thankful we had the video camera with us!!!!
On April 5th, his actual birthday, we were in Louisiana at my Grandmama's house. She was so excited to get to spend his birthday with him that she planned a party for him and invited all our cousins to come join in the celebration. It was great getting to see our family and it meant so much to me that they took time out of their busy schedules to spend the afternoon with us. Will had a blast.
