A Really Big Boy

My Braun Wee Man

Will started preschool last week.  He is officially a big boy now.  I was actually very sad to have him start because it means that in just a few years he's going to start kindergarten.  Here is a picture of him on his first day...

He didn't have a great first day.  Apparently he's a bit too comfortable in his class because he is surrounded by his best buddies, Logan, Luke, Ellie, Cole and Ella.  I guess he thinks it's just a huge playgroup because he's had a problem "tackling"  people.  Oops.  We're going to have to work on that.  

Will wants to be bigger than everyone.  He is constantly asking me if he's "bigger than..." whoever comes to mind.  The other day he was watching the Little Einsteins in the car (once again, Mother of the Year) and he says to me "hey Mom, I'm bigger than the little Einsteins because I have a pinky!"  This cracked me up because, you see, those poor little Einsteins were created, like so many cartoon characters, with a thumb and three fingers.  He's been bothered by this until he realized that it was just because they weren't "big" enough to have acquired a pinky yet.

Poor kids!  

On the knitting front, I have been working on my Clapotis, which is boring, so I have completed a few pair of fingerless mitts (what else?) for gifts.  I made Will one yesterday and he loves it.  This first picture is of Asher, my nephew, wearing the mitt.  I had to put it on him because he is sooooo fat and his hand just looked so cute in it...

 This next picture is proof that Will has a pinky...

You see.  A very big boy.  Now to my tag (a month overdue!)

Okay, that took forever. If anyone wants to play along, please do, that was really fun! I will officially tag Nicki, and Hege.

So I'm noticing that my list looks crazy when I'm viewing it (words split up weird etc), I have no idea how to fix it. Sorry!
