Proud of his new haircut

I took Will to get a haircut last night after I got home from work. He wanted to have one like Twist from the Fresh Beats. In case you were wondering yest that is an Optimus Prime Halloween costume he is wearing and yes he did wear it to the barber shop. He is so proud of his haircut it is pretty damned funny, it also gives me pause in light of yesterdays post as I now wonder if his opinion about losing his hair will change now that he thinks it is 'cool'.

This morning Will asked me what my favorite planet is and I told him Saturn. He explained that his favorite was Mars and that he wishes we could live there. I told him that no person could live there and when he said why I said because it was too hot (I didn't feel like explaining that it was freeze to death cold and that the atmosphere is carbon dioxide and would kill us). When he heard it was too hot he said "Lets move there so then I can wear shorts everyday! So we ended up having the conversation anyway! I guess I was too lazy to tackle it without my pot of coffee so we discussed it on the way to the bus stop.

Found this video today going through some of my files from when Will had just turned 2 and it is even more jarring in light of just how different Evelyn is right now at the same age as Will in the video.




Finally, I had forgotten to mention that on Saturday the soccer game had a full complement of team members. This meant that, unlike prior weeks, the playing time was a bit more limited. At one point I looked across to the 'bench' and Will and two of his teammate had started doing sit ups and push ups while waiting their turn.
