Boy or Girl
Will is starting to be very excited about our ultrasound coming up next month. He really is curious if the baby is going to be a boy or a girl and his name suggestions change from day to day. His latest ideas are to name a boy "Little Will" and a girl "Menyea" (pronounced menyay) after a girl in his school. I think the name is African but I'll have to check on that.
Oh My God
Yeah, literally!
We haven't told Will about God. I guess I just figured that the whole concept was pretty abstract for him. We haven't talked about things like the Civil War or Gengis Khan either figuring that historical figures would be something that comes later in elementary school. I think our logic breaks down a little bit in that he knows a lot about politics and current politicall figures but then again this is happening in our lives right now and he can see it and experience these things so we explain them to him. But God, well, no, we haven't gone there yet.
So imagine our surprise when Will was zooming his tiny plane around in the air and he said, "This plane is going so fast no one can even see it except for God." Paul said, "God?" Will said, "Yeah, do you know about God?" Paul asked him to explain and he told Paul that God is in the sun and he sees and knows everything. Paul asked him how he knows this and he said, "My friend Jaxon told me about him. Jaxon is six and he knows everything."
Well, all be!

Happy Halloween!
Policeman Will had a Halloween Cookie Decorating Party at his friend Sophia's house this afternoon and then he went trick or treating with some of the neighborhood kids. Downtown Fremont created a Great Pumpkin aglow on top of one of the buildings which we enjoyed and we rented a video (shocker!) and watched together Charlie Brown and the Great Pumpkin Adventure.
Policeman
Ever since our car was broken into, Will has just loved the police. There were two police officers who came to our house for the report and "evidence" and they made quite an impression! Since that time Will and Paul have seen them around town and they pull over everytime to say, "Hello."
