290. Matchbox

William's hair has grown a lot from the hair cut 3 weeks ago. He went to bed last night at 8 and slept till 8, waking up 2, 3 and 5. I've been listening to a Sangharakshita lecture on sangha (the spiritual community) and there's a baby crying in the background. It's freaked me out a few times, and last night Diana and Virginia heard it too, thought William was crying. Virginia slept over last night, and left early in the morning for Aruba.

William fights with his cousin Emma. Emma is 12 days older. He fights Emma over the matchbox cars. He can't hold more than 2 in his hands, but he wants all of them. When Emma grabs one and runs away, he would run after her shouting and crying.

I picked William up and took him to the park. He walks around. He watches the other kids more complicated activities. He likes to crawl under things and take advantage of his size. He likes balls. He's getting better at climbing up and negotiating everything. But he started crying and I took him home.
