Will, your sense of humor is awesome and we absolutely love it. The other day all three of us were in the bathroom brushing our teeth and when I was finished I was showing you your baby sister in my tummy. The conversation went as follows...
Looking at mommy, "My baby sister is in your tummy?"
"Yes, buddy," I replied.
Still looking at your mommy, "Does daddy have a baby sister in his tummy too?"
With a small laugh I respond, "No, daddy doesn't have a baby in his tummy. Just mommy."
Your glance then shifts to daddy in all seriousness, "Daddy, let me see. Lift up your shirt. Do you have a baby sister in your tummy too?"
Daddy lifts up his shirt and says, "No, I don't have a baby sister in my tummy. Only mommy does."
You respond, still looking at daddy's tummy, "Well...you have a little bit of a baby in your tummy."
Your daddy and I burst out into laughter as you don't even realize the humor you just shared. Then you do your fake laugh and say, "I'm funny."
Why yes, yes you are Will. You are quite the funny, little guy. Mommy and daddy appreciate your sense of humor.

Baby Sister On The Way...(and A Few Other Things)
Dear Will,
I am amazed by you daily. You have your moments, but I realize you are only two and that is okay for you to have your moments. I have my moments too. When our moments collide...well, it's not the prettiest site, but I think that is okay for that to happen too. We could both learn a lot from daddy about how patient he is with everything.
We just moved you to your new room and you are adjusting okay. You love your new bunk bed that "daddy made for you" as you say every day since they have been put together. You have been in your new room for 4 nights now and the first night was great. Since then you have wanted to sleep in your crib, but I think you are slowly getting used to it. I expected this. You still want to be mommy and daddy's little boy, but you also want to be a big boy. Nonetheless, when you do finally fall asleep you sleep soundly and peacefully.
Your little sister is due soon and you continue to talk to her and ask questions about her. You are smart and I think you get it...but at the same time, I know you don't get it. I worry about what will actually happen when your baby sister arrives. I know that you are going to be extremely helpful, something that you have always been since you were able to. I am excited to see you interact with your baby sister, kiss her, hug her, and just love her as you love everything and everyone else. We might have to set some boundaries on your "big hugs" because your baby sister won't be ready for that yet. You are going to be an excellent big brother.
I have a lot of worries about the arrival of your baby sister...more worries then when you were going to arrive. I worry that I am not going to have enough time for you. I worry about the logistics and timing of how we are going to get to and from places. I worry about your reactions to me, your baby sister and daddy. I worry about the timing of naps, meals and coinciding that with our day to day schedule that we already have in place with you. I worry about how daddy and I will work together to make you feel okay--just to name a few. All valid worries, I suppose, and I'm sure there will be a bit of a learning curve, but we will figure it out. After all, clearly we aren't the only parents in the world who have been in our situation.
Mommy and daddy love you and we look forward to having an even more complete family when your little sister gets here. We're proud of you for how smart, helpful, loving and funny you can be. You truly are the best little-big-brother your baby sister could ask for.
I love you turkey-toot.
Mommy

I walked around the corner and into the kitchen
and found you doing this....
I think you are excited for your baby sister.
Feeling your baby sister kick and move around.
You always take time to talk to her
and are curious about her.
Mommy and daddy love you and we look forward to having an even more complete family when your little sister gets here. We're proud of you for how smart, helpful, loving and funny you can be. You truly are the best little-big-brother your baby sister could ask for.
Little-west-of-the-mountains-boy.
Rain boots and all.
Super Will.

You Are Two...And Going to Be a Big Brother
Will,
You are going to be a big brother. You are going to be a big brother! You are going to be an incredible big brother and I can't hardly wait to see you in action.
We told you about the baby on our way to a camping trip the end of June. The look on your face was priceless and awesome all at the same time. Since then you continue to talk to "your baby" on a daily basis, especially in the evenings when we are getting you ready for bed. You sing songs, kiss and say "I love you, baby" before you go to bed. You are insistent on having a baby sister. For your sake I hope this is true...for me, I don't know if I feel the same.
You recently met your new baby cousin Mckenna and you instantly wanted to hold her. So we let you and you were in awe...and didn't want to stop holding her. You were very patient, gentle and attentive. Mckenna was calm because you were calm. You proudly held your baby cousin and I can only imagine that you will be just as wonderful with your new baby brother or sister.
