Austin's New Friend

Austin has been telling me about his new friend in class, Willie. He told me how he and Willie sit beside each other and color together and play on the playground together. I was so excited for Austin to have a new friend. Most of the time, Austin's friends end up being little siblings of Aidan's friends, so I was happy to hear him talk about Willie. Yesterday in the car, I asked Austin if Willie was at school or if he stayed home, and Austin looked at me, and said, "Mommy! Willie's a GUL (girl)!" As I was telling the story to Jared, it hit me that this was a case of Austin saying his Ls as Ws and that this child's name is actually Lily. So sweet to hear Austin's little voice talked about his friend "Willie." :-)
