Working Boy

Jason was gone most of the past week, and between the two of us we'll be gone for work most of August.  That means Will gets to accompany us for more errands around town.  Last week, I took Will to "Tennis Preschool" for the first time.  He usually only goes to the gym when we're swimming together, and he stays home for dinner with Daddy on tennis nights. It took him a few minutes to warm up to it, but he didn't want to leave when I came back at closing.   He has already asked if he gets to go with me this week.

Will also accompanied me to work this weekend.  We made a big adventure out of it by packing his briefcase (i.e. Thomas suitcase) and riding the train.  It's not at all efficient to ride the train on the weekends, but it sure is fun for little boys!  He worked so hard (watching cartoons on my computer) that he slept in my lap the entire train ride home.  The funniest part was all the groupies he got at the train station while we were waiting to ride downtown in the morning.  Three different little boys came up to admire his suitcase.  Will told them about it's features:  "That's Thomas.  This suitcase has wheels!"


We've also been working recently on getting Will to be more "regular."  We're not sure if he's holding it because it hurts, or if he's constipated due to his diet.  He's been getting Miralax in his water the past few weeks and things are moving better and softer.  We've been talking to him about how it's important to drink water (thank you Doc McStuffins for your Engine Number 9 dehydration episode) and to "get the poopy out."
