Will really enjoys dressing himself now, which consists of: setting his socks on the top of his feet, putting on mom's shoes (he has yet to figure out how to get into his own shoes), draping any type of clothing item on his head, putting on one arm of his jacket, pulling shirts over his head, hanging overalls over his neck (this one is closely supervised), and putting on sunglasses. He will work at putting his pants on for about 10 seconds, then he throws them at me in frustration, and replies "yeah" when I ask if he needs help. These are a few of our favorite fashion statements of which I know there will be countless more to come.
Will is also becoming more independent in his play, which you think would be a wonderful change for me, however, this independence usually emerges during outdoor playtime. This creates more work for mom & dad when we are in the front yard (which we do to avoid the potential playing with Maggie's messes) because Will enjoys walking down the street, into the neighbors yards, and running up and down the paved ramp next to the stairs by himself. William has also decided that he prefers not to hold onto mom or dad's hands while he is running across the bridges on the jungle gym at the park (which really freaks out grandma & grandpa). Will also loves to watch all the other kids playing at the park which could turn out to be a good or bad thing-we're starting to be more selective about our park choices. Here are a few pics of our most recent trip to the park.
