Future Career Path

I am assuming that all parents with young children look for possible clues as to what their child might grow up to become. Will he or she be a doctor, a lawyer, a scientist, a professor? The possibilities are endless. Of course, many children often follow their parents into one of their chosen professions. Having just completed law school, I look for Will to object to things or try to haggle over his binky time. But, as of yet, he has shown no interest in the law.

However, there are hints that Will is going to follow his Mommy's path into the plumbing arts. There have been some indications that he would like to grow up to be a man who understands the delicate practice of porcelain sculptures. I don't want to read too much into it, but I feel that the evidence is fairly pointed in one direction, and fortunately, we have that evidence on camera:

I mean, I haven't seen crack like that since we replaced the plumbing in the tub in the master bathroom. If that rear cleavage is any indication, we are going to have a caulking connoisseur in our midst in no time. I think it is quite evident that drains and S-pipes are going to be his lego's. Now he is filling diapers and soon he will be snaking potties.

We promise to fill you in on any more early career developments we see!

The Little Man Groweth...

Forgive me if my typing is less than stellar, I have just had my wisdom teeth removed and I am feeling less than wisdom-y. But, Jenny and I realized that we haven't posted any photos of Will recently, and there are photo's to post! Please feel free to ooh and aah, as well as ogle, at the cuteness that is William. I know I never hesitate to do so. Enjoy!

Out of the Abyss...

Finally, the Texas Bar Examination is behind me! After spending three days staring at the same frightened individuals across the plywood desk in the George R. Brown Convention Center, I am finally free. I have to say, the George R. Brown is a terrible place to take an exam. The proctor sounded like Charlie Brown's mother on a loudspeaker (" Wha Wha Texas Wha Exam wha wha don't worry wha wha wha rest of your life wha...") and the lighting gave me a lovely orange glow when I left the building. All in all, I am thrilled it is over. I also learned that a tort is not just a delicious pastry, but apparently is some sort of legal term. I hope that wasn't important.

Back home, Will had grown lots in three days and can now do advanced math and is reading at a 12 week level, even though he is only 8 weeks old. Next week I am hoping to teach him how to mow the lawn. I figure as long as he can hold on to the handle and dangle his legs, the lawn mower can do most of the work. All joking aside (which is always hard), he has gotten bigger!

Yesterday, we took Will to see his Pediatrician and his needle happy "nurse". The doctor is an amazing guy who does an excellent job. Then the nurse decided it was time to give will his shots. As she put the needle into his thigh, there was a second of shock, and then his face turned into a bright red, wrinkly roma tomato. It was heartbreaking. It was also ear breaking. I didn't know anything that small could make noise that big. I think it measured on the Richter scale in College Station. Then, the nurse decided that was so much fun, she stuck him two more times for show. Will and Mommy recovered while Daddy paid and then the whole family headed to James Coney Island. Will decided just to have milk, so Mommy and Daddy ate chili dogs.

All in all, Will is doing very well and we are adjusting to life after the bar. We are off on a short vacation this week to let Will see Salano Ranch for the first time, and then back to the grind! I hope you are all well and I will post pictures soon!
