Swimming and Walls

Will went swimming for his first time (well first time he can remember) Saturday after the picnic.  Thanks to the Burtons for letting us use there pool, it was perfect that they have a one foot pool for the little folk.  Will, TJ and I splashed around and had such a good time.  Will is wearing his new swim trunks complete with a rash guard.  Not sure why babies wear these little swim shirts but he seamed to like it.


After swimming we promptly headed home to get Will bathed and fed before he hit his wall.  Ya'll may have heard of the term "hitting the wall" we use this to describe what happens to our Will on a daily basis, he takes after his dad in this respect.........he's a happy fun loving kid, it's all or nothing with him and there is not much warning.  The "wall hitting" is usually preceded by a spurt of supper silliness.....out of control laughter about nothing, running around aimlessly, or attacking momma and daddy with kisses.  Then out of know where, it happens.  A happy baby Will turns into a very unhappy boy, ready for bed and he means now.  We are getting better at reading the signs.  We are now quick to get him fed, change his diaper and into Jammie's when the signs present themselves so that when he starts to go down hill he is ready to get in his crib, and BAM he falls right to sleep if we play it smart.  Bellow is him eating dinner, going through his silly stage and hitting his wall (oh yes, sometimes hair pulling is involved, his own hair that is).   Le me clarify, when I say he takes after his dad in this respect, TJ does not pull his own hair, run around laughing at him self etc.......but he does get tired all at once and needs to hit the hay.

                                                      come give me a kiss momma
                                                                  Wall has been hit
