William is a genuinely good boy. He just worries too much sometimes. William likes to know what is going to happen every second of the next year, pretty much. He remembers everything, almost. He is LOVING primary and cannot wait to go to preschool. I think it's mostly because he wants a Thomas backpack. If William had his way, he would play trains all day on my kitchen table with a Thomas movie playing in the background. I have recently discovered that he likes to be call William, not Will. I can't believe how fast this little man is growing up. Sometimes he seems like an older person inside a little body. But, then he goes into silly mode which can be funny, and draining. What can I say? He's a mama's boy.

Lily is such a girl. Don't get me wrong, she can be a tomboy at times too. She likes to play trains with William, but her heart lies with her animals and little figures. She likes to watch me do things, like put on make-up and cook. (Not at the same time). She has recently said that she would like to take dance classes, which I am ecstatic about. Potty training her has been one of the hardest things I have ever done since becoming a mother. Lily has a hilarious sense of humor. She'll act shy on the exterior, but on the inside, she is quite the firecracker and she does like the attention. She has now gotten to the awesome stage of belting out music, mostly in the car. She'll be trying out for American Idol this season. Not really...
