Thanks for my new jacket, Grann!

We've had some beautiul weather the past couple days. Yesterday it was up in the 60s so Will got to try out his new coat that Grann got him. He really likes his new jacket. Phil was working from home today, and after Grandma put him in it, he had to run to show daddy. Phil also has a bright orange coat and I think Will made the connection.

He spent a good portion of the day outside - especially since he has figured out how to unlock and open both our sliding screen door and glass patio doors. I had to make a run to Lowe's to get some additional locking mechanisms that he can't reach. We have a make shift set up now, but I think if he gets any stronger he'll be able to either break the door or rip off the lock. Next project: adding a bolt lock to our front door. I'm pretty sure if he put his mind to it, he could use his stool of mischief to get that door open.

You would think all this activity would lead to great naps - but he hasn't been napping much in the afternoon. All that freedom leads to play! But then he is exhausted at night and falls asleep without any trouble. Last night, we went to peek at him right before we went to bed. He had gotten up to play and then fell asleep resting his head and upper body on the bed - with his feet on the ground. So cute. So we slid him up into the bed and he went back to bed.





















This was taken about 30 seconds before a handul of dirt/mud found its way into Will's mouth.
