Memories

I probably don't utilize this blog enough period, but I definitely don't use it enough to jot down and remember some of the cute/ridiculous things William does on a day to day basis. This is by no means a promise to change that behavior, because let's face it, I never have as many hours in the day as I would like, but I can't resist recording what William did last night because it was just too cute.

Just about every night last week Darrell went outside after dinner to do some yard work (before the inevitable first snow falls). Most nights William went out with him because A) William is not content to be in the house if someone is outside and B) I wasn't around because I had soccer so Darrell had no choice but to take William with him. Well, Saturday night Darrell and I were both home, and we were enjoying the opportunity to chat over dinner. William finished before us and was playing in the other room while we continued to chat, when all of the sudden William walks into the kitchen dragging Darrell's jacket. He carries it over to Darrell, puts it on his lap, and then walks to the back door and picks up Darrell's shoes. He then proceeds to bring those to Darrell as well, and even makes an effort to put them on, a la Cinderella-style. Apparently he had decided that we had been chatting long enough and that it was time for us to go outside and do more yard work--despite the fact that we hadn't exactly been planning on going outside because the weather wasn't kind of yucky and we didn't really have anything to get done. But after William was so cute about wanting to go out, we really couldn't tell him no. So outside we went. And what do you know--we enjoyed ourselves plenty despite the cooling temperatures and even found a few projects to work on. I guess William really does know best (just don't ever let him know that!).
