Well....its been a while...I say that alot!!

I don't really have an excuse for not updating sooner....I am just a slacker! LOL....I can't tell you the times I have thought "I really need to update that blog" and then get busy doing something else and totally forget.  Will has been doing really well.  He recently started tying his shoes (which was a HUGE deal to him), he is playing t-ball (which he LOVES), and is excited about finishing up Pre-K so he can move to the "big boy school" for Kindergarten.  You all know how Will is and you never know what he is going to say....well, there have been so many funny things that he has said or done that I can't remember one thing!!! LOL...I am going to try to post some videos on here so you can see him in the act.  Hopefully the links below will take you to the videos....let me know if they don't work. I will post stuff as it happens from now on....I promise!

Dancin!!

Mr. Smarty Pants!

See this silly face? Well, he thinks he is so cute! On the way to school the other day he looks at me and asks, "Mom, where do I get my smarts from?" I thought I would be slick and I said "oh, you got your smarts from me". He looks at me and says.............wait for it........."so, is that why you don't have any?" I almost wrecked our car! I never know what he is going to say...but he for sure keeps me on my toes! LOL

Just one of the MANY pictures I took of Will on Halloween....He loved it!!!

It's been a while...

Well, I have been a slacker! I really have to do better about updating this thing. Will says and does so many funny things that I really could update everyday but I forget! I promise to do better. Will went on his first hunting trip recently. He was lucky enough to experience his first deer...a doe. He was soooo excited. On another recent hunting trip he was very tired and when Will get tired, you better just hold onto your ears! He talked Daddy and Dwayne to death. Finally, Dwayne said, "if you don't be quiet I am going to spank you"....to that Will responded...."well, that would be a shame"!!! Daddy and Dwayne burst out laughing!





Will is doing very well in school (he gets that from me). He can write his name very well and is extremely proud of that. His teacher walked him to the car yesterday and told me that Will had informed her that he was going to be the mayor and that they should call him "Mayor Will". I swear I don't know where he comes up with these things! He is constantly amazing me with things he knows. He told me and mom that bread had fiber in it last night at Longhorn....he learned that from the nutritionist at school yesterday. He uses words like apparently and ridiculous like he is a grown up!




We had a great Halloween, even though it rained on us a little. Will is so ready for Christmas and has created a Christmas list that is quite impressive for a 4 year old. He gets that from me too! lol....well, and from his Daddy...he didn't really have a chance when it comes to wanting stuff!

I will update again later....

We have ourselves a PRE-K STUDENT!!!

Well, I made it...I never had a question as to what Will would do, but Pre-K is officially started and he LOVES it!!! I had a major pep talk with myself and had convinced myself that I was not losing him forever because he was starting Pre-K so I did a lot better than I thought I would. He was just so excited about being there that I think it rubbed off on me. I got so excited for him!!! Within the first 5 minutes I heard his most country accent saying "hey, you know what" and I knew he was comfortable and that he was going to do great. He was telling his redneck story about a chicken snake we had in the back yard and I was thinking....."these teachers don't even know what they have gotten themselves into" LOL!!! That made my heart happy.

I had a conversation with my aunt Julie yesterday and she said that she just feels like Will has "the favor of the Lord" and that there is something special about him. That really helped me this morning I think because I knew that no matter what he was going to be watched over and protected even after I was not there. People are just drawn to Will. I am not just saying that because he is mine and I think he is special. We go to restaurants and people want to talk to him. Prime example, we went to a Japanese Steakhouse last weekend. Will had never been and didn't have a clue what was about to take place. A complete stranger across the table said, "I am so excited to see his reaction" and she spent the entire night laughing and watching Will! He does that to people everywhere we go. Maybe God is going to use him in some special way...I don't know but for now I sure do enjoy his crazy personality. I prayed for a child with a personality and boy did God deliver! LOL! I can't wait to find out what he has said at school....there is no telling!!!

CT and EEG......Oh Lord!

In case I have forgotten to tell everyone, Will is having a CT and an EEG done to make sure he isn't having seizure activity. Since Will was a year old I have noticed that when he is falling asleep and sometimes when he is waking up, he makes these involuntary movements. It is mostly in his hands and arms but recently he had an episode where it appeared that he was having a seizure. He told me that he felt "tingly" and would then have these episodes of extremely uncontrollable jerking. They almost look like someone with Tourrets Syndrome having really bad "ticks". Once he is asleep it stops. After this last, more extreme episode, I decided to have his doctor check him out. They are pretty sure it is something neurological and for now are calling it "myoclonic jerks". This is what I have found on them:

From The National Institute of Neurological Disorders

Myoclonus describes a symptom and generally is not a diagnosis of a disease. It refers to sudden, involuntary jerking of a muscle or group of muscles. Myoclonic twitches or jerks usually are caused by sudden muscle contractions, called positive myoclonus, or by muscle relaxation, called negative myoclonus. Myoclonic jerks may occur alone or in sequence, in a pattern or without pattern. They may occur infrequently or many times each minute. Myoclonus sometimes occurs in response to an external event or when a person attempts to make a movement. The twitching cannot be controlled by the person experiencing it.

So, this may or may not be anything major but just to be on the safe side, Will's doctor has ordered a CT and an EEG....Will is going to have both at Scottish Rite in Atlanta. His CT is Monday August 3rd. Please pray that we get through the CT alive. He will be sedated for the procedure but he will have to have an IV and anyone who knows Will knows that will not go over very well. He won't have his EEG until the 14th. That test should be a lot easier and hopefully he will do just fine.

I will keep everyone updated as things come up. I am certain that his doctors are being cautious and I appreciate that.

On a brighter note, Will starts Pre-K next week! He is super excited. He will be going to Calhoun (the city school system). Dad is having to adjust to the idea of having a grandchild as a Yellow Jacket but he is coming around! Hehe!!! I will be sure to take BUNCHES of pictures and will post them as soon as I can.

PRAY, PRAY, PRAY that all goes well.

Skinny Dippin!!!

Well, after all was said and done and our cookout was over, Will and Jackson decided that before they changed their clothes it would be fun to go skinny dippin...or as Will said "swimming nekin" I am sure he will LOVE me for this one day but it was too funny not to take a picture of. Will overcame a lot of his water fears this weekend. By the end of our get together he was jumping off the side (with his arm floaties of course). Kelsey's friend, Torri, came with her and both the boys just think she is the best thing ever. They were showing off big time. Will says he loves Torri....Lord help me!
