self portrait challenge - little me

littleme5234.jpg

my captivating and pigheaded mind assimilates names and circumstances like a little sponge absorbing fluid. I know how to charm people with my endearing mug and blooming composure. I have an earnest appetite for attention. and love. I already have an accurate sense of empathy but cannot define the value of the things I own. I lie. I fall asleep as soon as I am belted in my car seat and am unable to endure more than a 5 minutes delay. I distinctively understand two different languages and verbalize my feelings with articulate sentences but express my dissatisfaction only with intense whining. I can sit in a sulk for hours if I don't get what I want. some people say I'm spoiled. and it hurts me. I use my imagination. I have an inner compass that gravitates toward creativity. I watch too much tv. and I long for solitude. I am 3 years old. my name is Will. and I look insanely a lot like my mother when she was my age.

I want to kidnap that little sweetheart and carry her around all day long.

You are so cute it hurts.

My daughter, Ellie, saw your picture and asked if it was a picture of her on the computer. You're just as beautiful as she is. I see some similarities in the personality described as well...

An adorable photo! A close resemblance to my daughter (almost 3 years old). By the way, how many languages do you speak?

You are adorable and so is Will- have I told you how much I love your little guys names-well I do! My Juliana looks just like I did-when I was little- it's too-it's remarkable!

I've just been looking at your blog after you left a comment on mine (for which thank you). I love the picture of the boys and the Eiffel Tower. No wonder you didn't have much time when they were younger - I know what it's like. I had my twins in Frankfurt and when they were 32 months old and we'd moved to Brussels, I had Phoebe. It's really hard work and each day is an emotional minefield. Look forward to reading more.

Your big eyes are so thoughtful- It's easy to see a lot was going on in that head of yours, kind of like now...
