As with all things in life, sometimes you realize that you've been in a little bit of a negative mind frame, and you need to change things up a little bit.
I would like to say, for the record, that although William comes with a unique set of very large challenges, the kid is absolutely, unequivocally, without a doubt, hilarious. The gift of humor and entertainment is all about timing and delivery, and this kid is the master of both.
Cases in point:
- In the middle of a meltdown, (again, his, not mine) I asked William if he wanted some cranberry chicken that Nickie had made. He abruptly stopped crying, looked up and said through teary eyes, "delicious berries."
- William just completed potty training, which means that any time I go to the bathroom, I have an audience, exclaiming "Good job, Daddy!"
- He loves to sing happy birthday, and blow out candles. So much so that over the course of an evening, we will light one of those glass jars with a candle in it about 50 times, sing happy birthday, all the kids will clap, and William will blow out the candle and yell "CAKE!" Note: it is not wise to attempt to blow out the candle in order to help him. He will attempt to reciprocate by pushing your head down into the Yankee candle jar until your nose hair burns up.
-He's naked 85% of the time. This is cute when he's running around in the backyard. A little less cute out in the front yard, and not so cute when he's at the top of the climbing structure at House of Bounce.
He doesn't have the same blueprint as the rest of us, but at the end of the day, he's a happy kid, he's a loving kid, and he's certainly loved back. At the end of the day, that's all any of us needs, isn't it?
