No beads?!?! He must have learned this from Mom.
Mom gets his attention to ask him to lower his shirt:
To be fair to Will, the Librarian does give fun colored stamps on everyone's belly at the end of storytime.Friday, November 13, 2009

Another Drum Set
Will loves his drum set at home. He loves to bang really hard with the drum sticks, but he also loves pushing buttons that "beep". Well Auntie Marianne and her boyfriend Feelix got Will an electronic drum set that does both! We are keeping it Nana's and Grandpa's house for now. 
Will started out just banging on it wildly, like he does with his drum set at home, but once he found the buttons he got really serious. Thanks Marianne and Feelix! 
He loves those beeping buttons. Yeah, hours and hours of fun!

Halloween
Will was a monkey for Halloween. He really liked his costume. 
He especially liked the tail, and he got lots of chances to wear it. 
Wednesday for Music Together Class:
Thursday for Library Group:
Friday for Dad's work Halloween Party:
This is Dad's friend from work Karl, and his son Theo:
And he wore it Saturday on Halloween Night:
First we went to the neighborhood shops that gave out candy:
Where we met our friend Roman:
That's also where Will ate his first piece of candy: 
There was a big inflatable Jack-o-lantern there that Will liked: 
After that we hit some neighbor's houses:
We spent the rest of the night giving candy out to older kids that came to the door. This is Will's little pumpkin out on the porch:

Train Set
Will got a train set from IKEA last year, but never took much interest in it. That changed when Grandpa Sykes got him a Thomas train. Like most kids, Will loves Thomas. Now he plays with his train set even more.
He even figured out how to put the track together.
Will has not yet grasped the idea of a loop that the train can follow, but he is very creative with his layout.

Mom helped him make a loop with the tracks so that he could run the train around for a long time.

Pumpkin Patch
Will has noticed the bright orange pumpkins that have been showing up all around town. They are at the grocery store, on neighbors porches, in store windows, just about everywhere! Here is one Will found on the way into our favorite restaurant:
Today we took Will out to get his very own pumpkin at Lake View Farms in North Plains. The trip from the car starts with a train ride out to the pumpkin patch!
Will quickly found the perfect pumpkin just his size.
He even insisted on carrying it around himself.
There is a hay bale maze just his size as well.
You return to the parking area by train, or by boat. Here we are waiting for the boat with our pumpkins.
The boat ride has some suprise halloween tricks. There is a pirate ship and a fake shark and dragon that pop up out of the water when you go by.
We all had a really fun morning!

First hair cut!
First, thanks to all those who voted in the April poll. It seems so long ago. Well we finally got Will's hair cut yesterday. We went to Little Clippers in Lake Oswego. They have lots of toys, movies, games, and car shaped barber's chairs to keep kids distracted while they get their hair cut.
Before:
Will picked the red Lexus chair:
During: 
It was a little rough at first, but he settled down:

Nature walk
We made another visit to the trails around the Audobon Society this weekend. It is so nice to have this amenity so close to the city! This time we took the 1.3 mile Collins/Founder's Trail. Here are some pictures:
N-O spells "No"
Will knows his numbers up to 29 and his upper and lower case alphabet, so the next step is learning to read. Every child's favorite word seems to be "No" and that is the first word Will learned to read. He gets so excited and starts screaming "No, no, no!". Sometimes it can be a little startling. And the word is everywhere. Here are pics from a walk to the playground. Will found every "No".

Meeting a little puppy
Will likes to talk about petting animals we see around the neighborhood, wether it's cats, dogs, coyote, etc. But when he actually gets close to them he shys away.
When Will was at the park the other day he met a baby chocolate lab. He was very excited to pet the puppy, but once the dog was loose and wanted to follow him around, Will just wanted to be left alone.
It was pretty cute anyways.

Tanner Springs Park
Will likes to go to Tanner Springs Park in the Pearl District with Dad when Mom has a class at Barre 3.
He likes the spring where "the water comes out!".
He follows the stream to the pool where the fish live.
This week there was a strange little ladder that leads up to the lawn. Will climbed up it all by himself.
Hooray! Good job William!
