Gettin Smart!

Will has been making leaps and bounds with his words the last few weeks. He can almost have a conversation on the phone now. Maybe not the most intelligent conversation but probably more intelligent than some conversations I have had. He is also starting to recognize books by name and identify things on flashcards, it is very exciting. On the negative side he loves to slam doors, tries to lock you out of the house if you put him in and don't get in the door quick, and he is climbing everything. He doesn't seem to understand "No" which is odd because I am sure we say that word to him more than most other words. We will keep trying....

Here is a video of a phonecall we had with Grandpa Bill and Grandma Barbara. Will is a bit suprised when Petey the dog joins the conversation.

Yankees Win Number 27!!!!!!!

After a long WS drought by the Boss's standards, the Yankees get WS title 27! For the Wright crew in Boston this seemed like an eternity. Was it the move to Boston that brought the Yankees down? Probably not. Washed up superstars like Kevin Brown, Randy Johnson, and Carl "American Idol" Pavano had something to do with it. For awhile Red Sox domination made Boston a tough place to live. Now the universe has order again, and there isn't so much tension up here.



This post is a little late but we were waiting for Will's gear to arrive from NY. Sources tell me Grandpa Bill and Grandma Barbara picked this shirt up from the stadium in the Bronx. Thanks for the great shirt and thanks to all our friends and family for keeping Will stocked with Yankee gear.

Happy Halloween!!!

This was Will's second Halloween and although he is very cute he let me down a bit. He doesn't really have that candy grab working well yet, and I got some looks when I put my hand into the candy bowls. Someone had some Charleston Chews and I was trying to get him to go for those but he grabbed something lame. I am probably being a little hard on him since he doesn't eat candy yet, how can he possibly know how good it is. Training starts today learn what candy Dad likes and doesn't like at age 2 failure isn't an option.

Will was a red fire breathing dragon, and there is a good story behind the fire breathing. About 2-3 weeks ago Will got a cold and was pretty congested, so he started making this really furrowed face and he would snort. We thought it would be great for Halloween and we encouraged it. The cold cleared out about a week ago but he was still snorting. He also learned how to blow his nose (sort of). He takes the tissue puts it up to his nose and breathes out but he also inhales so not sure how effective it is. Well Halloween came and our fire breathing dragon didn't really breath much fire. We got a few out of him but he didn't want to put on a show I guess. He was a trooper though, considering it was 70 degrees out and we put him in this costume that was probably a bit stuffy.












Yanks up 3-1 will they get it done tonight?
