At Home With The Francis Family: How funny is this kid!

I just had to write a little more about West...this kid is hilarious!!!! He has so many quirky little idiosyncrasies...so so funny!

So, the latest in the West files are...

he collects anything that resembles money and stashes it
he keeps his money in any handy container, even socks!!!
he regularly changes his 'container' 5 times a day
he hates wearing shoes, socks, pants, undies
his biggest phobia is for BUTTONS!!!! He HATES BUTTONS!!!! Will throw the biggest stink any time I try to force him to wear clothes with buttons - every Sunday morning is a fight between West and Mum as we're getting dressed for church - his first question when I bring out his clothes to get him dressed is 'no buttons?' in the most hopeful little voice! Its so funny when its not completely frustrating!!!
his favourite 'outfit' at the moment is his Spiderman costume - he's gone to the shops, kindy, park EVERYWHERE in this outfit. He has now worn through the feet, there is a rip in the crutch, and the fingers are forever stained with who knows what (interesting fact: I HATE this outfit for the simple reason that it has fingered hands, which means I have to try and force West's 10 little fingers into their individual little finger pockets which is SOOOO hard. If I only had to do it once it would be ok, but then Westie needs to go to the toilet, or eat something, or he wriggles the wrong way and I have to fix them again and again and again and its FRUSTRATING!!!!
he and Madson like the opposite of EVERYTHING! If West wants the light off to go to sleep, Madson wants it on; if West wants to walk Madson wants a trolley, if West wants ice cream Madson wants chocolate, West wants to sing Popcorn but Madson wants to sing Snowman!!! I should have learned by now not to ask for their opinion but to give them limited choices but I don't - it does my head in!!
he loves to sleep in our bed. He'll wake up and do this little wimper for FOREVER until I respond to him
he gets achey legs and says the cutest things like - 'sore peoples get to sleep in your bed don't they mummy'. It just made me melt to hear him say that tonight - he still had to sleep in his bed though
he has mastered potty training all on his own and SOOO quick! He no longer wears a nappy to bed and goes to the toilet on his own - I LOVE HIM FOR THIS!!!!
he has the cutest, cheekiest grin and pulls the best faces in photos
i love to kiss him and tickle him and make him laugh
he is either happy or sad - no in between
i love him more than he'll ever know!!!
