Will turned ten on February 5th. Although I'm a little behind, here are ten things I love about this guy!- Will loves to help! He has even learned to do the laundry without any help. My daughter-in-law will love me for that someday.
- Will loves to read! In 1st grade we thought he may never learn to read. Obviously he did and is passionate about it. He tested on three Hank the Cowdog books today alone. Probably a little obsessive but, oh well.
- Will makes me laugh! On the morning of the writing TAKS he called his cousin to wish him luck. When Josh answered, Will asked "What's an adjective?" To Josh's answer he replied, "Okay, just checkin'!" He is such a clown.
- Will loves his little brothers! They look up to him too! I love to hear Bradley laugh at Will's jokes, no matter how goofy they are. He loves his sister too but would never admit it.
- Will has cowboy in his blood! We aren't sure where he got it. Certainly not from Michael or myself. Nonetheless, something in him wants to be outside with animals, working hard.
- Will loves to sing and play the piano! As much as Will loves to be outside, he still loves music and being a part of his Daddy's music ministry. He is working hard at learning to play the piano and has a great solo voice. He sings with great enthusiasm. (Wonder where he got that trait???
- Will loves people. It's so neat to see a kid his age that has a heart for others, not just himself. Don't get me wrong, he has his moments when it's all about him, but overall he is all about loving and helping other people.
- Will loves his Grandad! There is nowhere on earth Will would rather be than on the farm with my Dad. That makes me smile!
- Will loves his momma (& daddy too). One of my favorite things is just before bedtime when he will come snuggle in my bed with a book. We love to read together. I know his hugs and kisses won't last forever so I take 'em anytime I can get 'em.
- Will loves Jesus! Will accepted Christ a couple of years back. He loves his Savior and isn't ashamed to talk about Him.
I am so proud of the young man Will is becoming! Time is passing too quickly. He brags daily about how tall he is (almost 5 feet). I know I'll blink and he'll be in High School. I just pray he keeps his love for God, love for people and strong work ethic. If he does that, there's no telling where he'll end up.
