Best hugs ever!!!

I would say that I have a pretty strong argument to say that William is the sweetest boy ever. I love this kid. He LOVES to give hugs. He'll be running around like a wildman, stop, and (usually) very softly (sometimes a "be soft" reminder is necessary) bend over and give the very patient Sadie a big hug. He'll be dancing around with his cousin Thomas and suddenly walk very calmly over and give him a big hug (followed by Thomas giving him a look that says "what are you doing!? I'm dancing here!"). We'll be sitting in church and he'll lean over and wrap his arms around his cute little friend Anya. At any random moment throughout the day I'll be holding him and he'll wrap his arms around my neck and put his head on my shoulder (sometimes followed by a great big slobbery kiss on the cheek!). He'll be playing, pushing his truck around, chasing Sadie, pulling out all the pots and pans, you name it, and he'll stop and throw his arms around my legs. And the very very best part is that he usually says "awwww" or "mmmmmm!" as he does.

Unfortunately all the pictures I have of him hugging Sadie are on a different camera, but here are some cute ones of him snuggling with his bear. He loves stuffed animals lately! A couple in our ward used this polar bear for an object lesson in Sunday School, and afterwards asked if William wanted it. Everytime he sees it, he takes off running and wraps his arms around it's neck. He'll turn it around until he finds it's ears (it's a good thing there are 2 of them... one for each hand) and carry it all over the place, which is hilarious to watch considering it's the same size as him!
He'll insist on holding it in the car, and yesterday in his high chair.

He may be a little wildman, but there is nothing I love more than his sweet hugs (except maybe the big kisses that follow!)
