I'm Letting Go....

I really really wanted to catch up and document all the wonderful things I have missed posting about Wil Franklin. BUT...that obviously isn't happening...so...I'm letting go. I'm letting go of all my OCDness. I'm letting go of perfectionism.  I'm letting go of the past and I am once again becoming a consistent blogger. 

I realized that not having the time to catch up and waiting until I did meant that I was missing posting all these new and so fun things my sweet (read WILD) 2 and a half year old is doing.  So here goes...

Wil Franklin you are just too fun to be around right now. 
You wake up ready to go and you go until your eyes close for good at night. 
You LOVE LOVE LOVE anything that has to do with baseball or golf.  Your daddy says we might have to skip t-ball and go straight to coach pitch because you can't stand to hit a ball off a tee.  You want DaDa to pitch it to you and you hit it so far! Dada walks in from work and goes straight to the backyard so you can hit the ball. 
You are fantastic on an Iphone and your little kid computer the iXL. You amaze anyone that watches you and your focus/attention is incredible.
You have an obsession with gloves - winter ones, athletic ones, yard ones...you would wear "guubbs" all day every day.
You talk talk talk talk talk.  Sometimes you have so much to say that you get frustrated because you can't get it all out fast enough.  You sometimes repeat yourself several times trying to process all that you want to say. 
Your new phrases are, "Mama, who dat?" (You ask me when the phone rings, when we see someone at church you don't know, when I talk to a stranger) "Mama, I do it."(You are sooooo independent)  "Mama, I go outside." (You would live outside if you could...hot or cold)
You're obsessed with knowing names for things...like our neighborhood name, Gigi's neighborhood's name, our church name, people's names, movie names, etc. 
You still won't eat any meat EXCEPT a small bite out of one Wendy's "chicky nuggin".  Dada and Papa are so proud.  You love veggies, fruit, yogurt, pickles, and anything gummy. 
You are just like your mommy when you want what you want, when you want it and that is typically 3 seconds ago.  I'm sorry, Love, patience will be something you always have to work on. 
You LOVE to sing.  Your favorite songs right now are Oh God you are my God, The Days of the Week Song, The "Freeze" Song, and the "Firework Song" (the Star Spangled Banner), and the Super Why theme song.
You know all the Bible stories in your Bible and can tell them back to us.  Your "version" of Adam and Eve is the best!
Your favorite thing in the WORLD to do, though, is mow the grass with Dada.  You pray at night so that you can "mow da gas" and help use "da beeyoer (blower)".  You push your little mower right beside Dad's and stay with him the WHOLE time (front & back yard).  It's hysterical.
Your mommy and daddy are so proud of you and love you more than you will ever know. 

Life is so so good! We are so so blessed!
