His Name is...Faraway Will
My grandparents-in-law (aided and abetted by my tech-savvy sister-in-law) provided me with yet another addictive timewaster, the massively multiplayer PC game City of Heroes. Unlike another game in the genre that I've been playing for a while, City of Heroes is simple and straightforward. You're a good guy. There are bad guys out there. It's righteous violence time.
Which is why I don't play it when Will's in the room. But the character creation system, which allows you to design your own superhero costume, is as much fun as the game itself. So I invited Will to (with assistance) design his own superhero. So, presenting "Faraway Will" (TM and copyright Cryptic Studios thanks to the end user licensing agreement):
I am told that my friends have speculated that Will has no chance of escaping his father's upbringing. I suddenly understand why.

Dude. Seriously. Make sure that will always brings his lunch to school. It wouldn't hurt to pack him two lunches each day, one he carries openly and one he hides til lunchtime.
At least he wasn't smaller at 3yrs 6 mos, than Oakel was at 1 yr 8 mos.
(Ok, that's it. I guess I can't have a kid now, I have in one innocent post brought down the future wrath of two toddlers.) How do I get myself into these messes anyway???

To all offended parties: I apologize for my husbands lack of consideration, tact, self control, and his over abundance of bucket o'dumbass.
Honestly...

Jake may be small Woody, but he's also the only 3 year old who is in need of his own weapons rack :)

And the trend continues... Will has created "Faraway Mommy", who is very...green. And "Uncle Chuck", who looks more like Riff from Sluggy Freelance than his actual Uncle Chuck.
