William's stories

I've been wanting to keep track of the funny jokes and stories William tells.

Tonight, he was having a hard time settling down after returning from Encompass' babysitting service. He was overtired and laying on the floor being upset with Andrew laying next to him, trying to support and comfort him. While he was laying there being grumpy, he said to Andrew "Woh, there is a crocodile over there by the door. I'm going to catch it". Andrew said, "Where, show me" and they both hopped up and ran towards the front door. William proceeded to hunt for the crocodile under the ottoman cushion, under the foyer table, under the coffee and kitchen table and then found him outside the playroom window playing ball with an owl. Then he looked for him on my phone and found an App called Regator with a crocodile and opened his flashcards App and Andrew found the crocodile card for him. While William was "crocodile hunting", the crocodile turned different colors (yellow and purple) and the hunt continued upstairs as the crocodile was hiding by his bedroom window.

William has also told Andrew a story during storytime that was super cute. He was trying to prolong the time before he was to go to bed so he was desperately trying to distract Andrew from putting him to bed. He began telling Andrew about how there were eagles at Ami and Papa's house that were fishing. The eagles were going to catch fish and bring them back to William so that they could eat fish pizza together.

William knows his "Moose Book" and his "Orca Whale Book" from start to finish and seems to point out the words in the sentence, A is for Auklet, and so on. We are guessing his grandma taught him to point out the words and aren't totally sure he knows how to read "is" and "for" yet. You can ask him which animal goes with each letter of the alphabet and especially loves that N is for Northern Spotted Owl and will inject Northern Spotted Owl before other words such as T is for Tide Pool (T is for Northern Spotted Owl Tide Pool) and X is for Xerophylum Tenax (X is for Northern Spotted Owl Tenax). He also loves the pages where he can count the owls and sea otters. He loves to say that owls eat mice and sea otters eat sea shells. He learned about owls eating mice from a zoo worker who was giving a little presentation while he was at the zoo with his grandparents this weekend. I hear he thought this was the funniest thing ever and laughed about it.
