19 months old!
Will is 19 months old today. He's such a big boy!
Insert "pothead" joke here...
He's such a big help in the kitchen. Here he is, reorganizing Mommy's storage bags.
He doesn't like his bananas cut up anymore. He's a big boy, so he'll take it whole, thank you very much.

He's getting better...
He'll hate me for this post some day, but he's just so dang cute.
He's letting us know now.

Is that a Port Wine Stain?
Nah, just Zinfandel.
Rolf poured himself a glass of wine this evening and set it on the coffee table. Will came in, talked to us for a minute (his distraction technique), slyly reached onto the table, and yoinked the glass. A brief tussle later, red wine was all over the coffee table, all over the couch, all over the Christmas cards I was addressing (so now you know what happened if yours is stained purple), all over Rolf's pants, and all over Will. We were afraid Will's hair was going to be dyed. If you look closely, you can see the pink stain over the right half of his face (his right half). Fortunately, Will is stain-resistant.

Can you help?
I don't usually use this blog for things like this, but this is kind of a special project for my students.
The Invisible Children Schools 4 Schools program partners a school stateside with a school ravaged by war in Uganda. The (student) leaders from the top 12 money-raising schools in the country get to travel to Uganda, spend time with their counterparts over there, and generally have a life-changing experience. The video they showed tore my heart out.
My school is currently leading its cluster (beating out several much, much richer schools in Texas). We are, apparently, neck and neck with a couple of the other schools. The girl who brought this cause to my school is a fantastic kid. I would love to help send her on this trip. My classes at school (4 sophomore classes) donated nearly 1900 books to ship overseas (the school is nearing 10,000). Now, they're trying to help Horn High be one of the top money-raising schools in the nation.
I know everyone seems to have a hand out this time of the year, but if you could donate just a couple of dollars, it would go to a good cause and help send one of the most terrific kids I've met on the journey of her life.
Time is running out! They have until Wednesday, December 17 to do this.
Thanks.

Conversation in our car this evening
Will: "Shew! Shew!"
Mommy: "Punkin, did you go poo-poo?"
Will: "Poo-poo. Shew!"
I'm glad he's starting to communicate these events with us, even if it's not always accurate. After we found a parking lot to pull into, there was no smell emanating from his diaper. Maybe it was a toot?
