Will: You Own My Heart

As you all know, Will lives life at full speed. Right now, I am kind of afraid to take him out in public for fear that DSS might show up at our house. He has a bruise on his left cheek. He was kneeling on a throw pillow from the couch while Ian was swinging him around by his arms. He flew off the pillow and landed cheek down on the hardwood floor. He has a bruise on his right jaw. I am not completely sure how he got that one but I think it he got kicked while on the trampoline. Yesterday, he and Ian were horsing around and Will took off to run. He tripped over his own feet and ran face first into the dining room table. Yep, black right eye. He looks so pitiful. However, it hasn't slowed him down a bit.

We did go shoe shopping today and people asked him several times about his bruises. He showed each off with pride. He probably will be in UFC or something when he grows up!

When we got home from shopping, Will, Maggie and I took a nap. Yay! When we got up, Josh and Ian were across the street at the neighbor's. I asked Will if he wanted to go over. He said not without Mags. We all headed across the street---Will taking the time to hold her hand and instruct her not to cross the street until they looked both ways. He didn't rush ahead of her when the coast was clear either. He helped her across the street and all the way down the driveway.

On our return home, I started walking with the boys while Josh was coming behind with Maggie. Halfway down the driveway, Will suddenly realized I wasn't carrying Maggie. Stopping dead in his tracks, he said, "Where is my Mags?" I told him that she was spending the night with our neighbor's. "Momma, you march right back there and get my baby sister. She is too little to stay by herself. She will miss me." Laughing, I let him know that she was really coming with their Dad. At home, as I am rocking her, he comes in to give me a kiss goodnight. He then leans in to Maggie, whispers "Love you Sissy" to her and kisses her on the cheek. He turns to walk out the room but instead turns back to Maggie, kisses her on the leg, looks her in the eyes and says, 'I love you, Mags. You own my heart." Maggie rubs his head and answers back with "Love." It was the first time she said that word. Such a special moment shared by two of the three loves that own my heart.
