another first for will

william continues to amaze me every day with his athletic abilities.  for most people with boys it probably doesn't seem that amazing!!  i have had one other son and he is not really into sports.  he loves mountain biking, camping and hiking, for example, but he is not competitive nor does he have any desire to compete in sports.  hunter was also a pretty mild kid.  he wasn't rough and tough and if you told him "no" he listened.  william is the complete opposite.  he loves sports, fighting and wrestling, super heroes, all things violent and is a riskier kid.  he started to ride his bike without training wheels last fall when he had just turned 3.  my other kids didn't learn until at least 5 1/2  and issy didn't learn until she was 8.  so this is unusual for me!  

while in richland a few weeks ago, william and i stopped at a park to play.  he LOVES to be outside and is very insistent to go outside and play almost as soon as he is awake.  it is quite tiring some days keeping up with this energetic kid.  while at the park, he was swinging and i showed him how to pump his legs.  after a few tries he had it!!  my other kids were in school before they could do it, so i was quite impressed!!  it is fun to experience all these new firsts for william.  what is funny is that most of them are firsts for me too!!
