Will U. is a very familiar name at our house and I constantly find myself using it -- and feeling bad about it at the same time. Scott was called "Mike-Scott" growing up a lot, because his family would mistakenly call out his brother's name, so he's not offended by being called a different name exactly -- just by what Will U. means -- more to do. I see him and almost immediately feel the words "Will you..." come to my mind, whether it's will you take out the trash, put new batteries in a toy, help with something with the babies, and on and on. So we laugh about it but I also know Scott needs a break as much as I do from the constant demands of life -- but he's my partner and often, my only break! Fortunately, he's a very energetic husband, and has such a giving nature, that even if he says "no" in response, I know in a matter of minutes he'll usually help out with the request. I guess I need to get a little more creative about how I start my sentences!

| My little spit-up man is so determined to be like his big brother. He's good at using a push toy while in the walker. |
