Conversations with Lil'Will

To steal a page from Christa's book I have to tell you all about some of the most wonderful conversations that  I have with Lil'Will.

Mommy:  I love you Will-Will.

Lil'Will:  No Daddy loves me!

Mommy:  But can't I love you too?

Lil'Will:  No!!  Daddy love me!

Mommy:  Then who can Mommy love?

Lil'Will:  Baby James

Mommy:  Can't I love you AND Baby James?

Lil'Will:  No!!  DADDY LOVE ME!

Mommy:  What about when you get married, Isn't your wife allowed to love you?

Lil'Will:  NO! DADDY'S WIFE LOVE ME!!

Mommy:  But I am Daddy's wife, so I can love you.

Lil'Will:  NO!!!  DADDY LOVE ME!!!!!

He then turned away and ran out of the room thinking that I must be pretty stupid, 'cause he had only said it a thousand times.  Only Daddy is allowed to love him!

 So in this one Lil'Will is on the other side of a door.

Lil'Will:  knock, Knock!!

Mommy:  Whose there?

Lil'Will:  Will-Will (Then he comes running into the room and either you get kisses or hit over the head with some type of stick)(you always hope it is the kisses).

Tonight while saying prayer.

Lil'Will:  Thank for Mommy and Daddy.  Thank for James.  Thank for Papaw and Cow.  Thank for Doggies.  Thank for toys.  Thank for church.  Thank for BX.  Thank for Cousins.  Thank for Doggies go to BX.  Thank for Nanna.  

Now these things cycled on and on for about ten minutes.  I kid you not.  We lost James about two minutes into it.  He decided to go find some toys.  But the best part was when he said that he was thankful for the BX (base exchange).  You know when you have fully assimilated into military life when your child says thank you for the BX to his Heavenly Father in his prayers!  It took me by shock and I have to admit I started to laugh at that point.

Just a super cute picture of my boy!

I thought since I had done a post on Little Will and his cousins that I would need to do one of Baby James and his cousins.  Baby James liked meeting all of his cousins, he just didn't understand how exciting they were as much as his brother did.  He'd get very upset whenever mommy would hold baby Hudson.  Even to the point that when I was holding Hudson he came over acting all sweet and then he bit him!!! 

No videos!!

So yesterday I tried to post a video of James walking, because Hello!  What could be cuter?  Right?  Put for some reason blogspot wont upload a video from a mac.  They sent me to a help center and from what I could tell there wasn't anyone who knew how to make it work.  When William gets home tomorrow he said he'd look into some way to cheat the system, such as posting the video on You Tube and then copying it from there.  Hopefully we will find a way todo that.  I know that it would be a total bummer not to be able to post videos of the boys here.  Especially with James first birthday coming!  But for the next little bit there will be no more videos.  If anyone else know how to make it happen please feel free to let me know!

Lil'Will and his cousins!

So Little Will is madly in love with idea of cousins.  He has loved is Cousin Trent and his cousins Hunter and Alyssa, when we lived in South Carolina.  Well, ever since we went to New York he has cousin fever.  He can not get enough cousins.  They are friends who love to play as much as he does!  And they are the same size and age as him!  There is nothing  better in this world.  They are almost as good as grandparents!  He is constantly asking if he can go and play with his cousins.  He is also always getting his phone and calling a cousin.  Most of the time it is cousin Mason.  We laugh that his cousin Mason is going to be getting in trouble for going over his cell phone minutes if Lil'Will ever gets a hold of his number!  One day he was on his phone and I asked him who he was talking to and he told me his cousin Myles.  I asked him what they were talking about, because it was a very animated phone conversation, even for  two year old!  He told me they were talking about batman and spiderman, then quickly turned around and continued his conversation!!  So cute! 

This  is cousin Silas with the boys in the bath.

Silas and Lil'Will playing in the rain.  Cousin Ella was kind enough to let Lil'Will borrow her pink rain jacket.

Ella and Lil'Will walking in the Bronx.  Lil'Will went straight up to her and grabbed her hand.  It was very sweet.

All the Juenger Cousins!

It was almost like looking in a mirror!

Some recent pictures of William and the boys

So here are some pictures of William and the boys before he left for his cpec (sniper school)  class.  For those of you who don't know he quit that class after a few days when he discovered that they have to have 270 hours of extra training a year.  This means that you have to do this training on your off time.  There was a man there training with them who was using his vacation days to keep up his certification.  When William realized how much time he would have to devote to it he decided that he didn't like it that much.  So he quit.  It came as a surprise to all of us.  He had a perfect score when he left so he was given some slack from the instructors.  I was glad to have him home though.  We only had him for a week before he left again. This time he is gone for a week.  He is basicly there so the teachers can be certified to teach them when they go for their actual training before they deploy.  We miss him terribly.  Lil'Will is having the hardest time because his daddy always puts him to bed.  It is their own private time.  Well, Tuesday night was an especially hard time so yesterday I went through some of the pictures and printed them out and put them right next to his bed.  He told me that they made him very happy.  Since I was going through them I thought that I would post some of them here.

Lil'Will and his favorite person in the whole world!

Baby James and his daddy

They love to drink out of daddy's camelbak!

It is a constant fight.  Who can drink from it more?  As you can see Lil'Will usually wins.
