The Story of My Lil Peanut

I have a soft little dolly named Peanut, just like me. I love him very much and care for him like a good Daddy. I care for him the same way my Daddy cares for me.

When I am getting ready to go to sleep I lay down gently and pat-pat-pat on Peanut's back. I give him hugs and kiss his mouth. I want him to know he's special and I love him.

I take my sippy cup and I hold it up to Peanut's mouth. I make slurping sounds as Peanut takes a drink. When he's done I gently wipe his mouth with my blanket, and I pat him some more.

Peanut is so lucky to have a good Daddy. I am so lucky to have a good Daddy too.



Here is a picture of my beautiful smile. Mommy says it makes her day. Do you like my new cowboy jammies?

Love you,

Will

Velveteen Nesbit

I have a new friend! His name is Velveteen Nesbit. He is a little goat that was born prematurely on February 26th. He has funny crooked legs and next to no fur so Mommy said he could live in our laundry room til he gets his "wheels". I really love having this new little friend to play with. I take him for adventures by driving him all around the house. I also hold his bottle for him when he's hungry. I love caring for animals and I know how to pat-pat-pat ever so gently.

Love,

Lil Will

Be My Valentine!

For Valentine's Day I got a really great present! No chocolate for me, no siree. I got a brand new pair of shiny blue rubber boots!! I love to clip-clomp-bang-bang-stomp around in them all day long. I think they are pretty snazzy and I am sure you will agree too. I also figured out how to work the zipper on my sleepers. I don't like to keep it done up anymore, so I strut around with my manly chest and belly button a-blazing.


I hope you had a very happy Valentine's Day too!

Love,
Lil Will

Glasses Aren't So Bad

Well, I've finally decided that my glasses aren't all that bad after all. I will now wear them for several hours without pulling them off and throwing them into a pile on the floor. I ask to put them on by pointing to the shelf where they are kept and saying "Guh-guh". I will wear them for a while, and I even know how to push them up when they slide down my nose. I especially like to read with them on. When I am all done I will take them off, fold them up, walk back over to the shelf and ask a grown up to put them up for me. Its really not that difficult you see. These are just the things you have to go through when you are the world's smallest professor.



Here I am pushing my glasses up on my nose so I can see better. These glasses are for seeing things up close. When I need to look at things far away I look over the rim of my glasses, just the way Grammas do. It makes me look wise and serious. I know the ketchup on my elbow doesn't make me look very serious. Ketchup is one of my favourite foods. I love it on everything (elbows included) and I prefer to dip things myself. I have a special technique. Dip, suck the ketchup off, re-dip. Its quite ingenious, really. That way you give the illusion of eating without actually ingesting any of the real food, leaving more room for glorious ketchup.

I'm a Grancher!

My Daddy says we don't ranch...we Granch. I guess that is what ya call it when you spend a lot of time with goats. Here I am getting to know some of my new little buddies. They are sure curious and playful. I love that they are just my size. I can see lots of fun days ahead of me. I am a great helper with chores already and I know I'll be the best little Grancher you ever did see.

Love,
Lil Will

My New Hiding Place

One of the fun things about adults is that they are soooo easy to amuse. One day I felt a bit silly so I started to hide in the cupboards. Oh my, they simply roared with laughter as though I'd done something marvelous and clever. Oh, it was so cute to see them laughing and jolly. Such simple creatures, those adults! So I continued to ham it up and jumped in and out of the cupboard for them. I simply adore making those silly grown ups giggle.

Love, Lil Will

My Cool Western Belt

Every cowboy needs a good western belt, preferably one with their name on it. I am lucky to be such a cowboy! My Oompa Loompa has recently taken up leather work. One of his first projects was to make me this belt. It has my name on it and silver horse conchoes too! I feel very manly when I wear it. Mom says she's worried about me wearing Wranglers around girls. I'm not sure what that means.

Love,
Lil Will
