William loves...

• wearing his "Braden clothes"


• playing with his 4-wheeler (both the small one pictured here and the one he can ride on)


• popping wheelies on his bike


• turning anything and everything into a motorized vehicle (baby monitors into aircraft, wood-chips into cars, etc)


• Elizabeth. He can't get enough of her and often has to be reminded to love her a little more gently


• playing with Eliana. That is, when they are not fighting


• getting dirty. he's fortunate that we are surrounded by vacant lots, giving him plenty of access to dirt.


• special time with mom or dad (or grandma, or anyone who will give him one-on-one attention. Who would guess he's a middle child?)


• Me! He's been especially fond of me since I've gone back to work for a few hours each week. And I love him so much it hurts--mainly because he's often injuring himself:)
