Okay.....

....we just call it "Attitude"

Think he was ignoring us...

.....or just on a mission.

The look that says...

...he's planning his next move!

Sunday afternoon attitude -

 - it's raining and I seem to be getting the blame for it!

"Excuse me William"

"I'm trying to talk to you here....stop ignoring me"!

"Whatever"

....if he could have said that,

I'm sure he would have.

The look of surprise

Not often we can surprise William, but when the tennis ball suddenly appeared, the look on his face was priceless!

Giving way...

....he was so pleased we gave him another 20 minutes on the beach.

....okay, so we give way to his  'Demands'  !

You should have seen William's face....

....when we told him Hamish was going back to his own house.

I think this says it all...

...the face we so frequently encounter!

"Now just look at me lad"

I wouldn't say it's frustrating 

trying to get William to look at me 

for the sketch.

I would say it is VERY  frustrating!

No words are really needed but....

The "I'm not leaving or listening to you" expression.

Strange the reaction when we mention leaving the beach isn't it.

What a fuss....

we often get this ATTITUDE when it's time to go home...

"No William, I am not coming in there to get you."

We don't like to point the finger...

....but sometimes, just sometimes, it is necessary.  The culprit defies us, of course.

"Looking up at me like that William won't get you anywhere"....

...."Oh okay then, here's a piece of my biscuit"!

(the cute look gets me every time)

Mr. Focused mode....

......at high speed he heads off towards his chosen target - often its rabbits.  Luckily the rabbits can run faster (although in all honesty William does slow down when he gets near to them and the rabbits go home laughing at him).

Mr. Naughty mode...

....the look that precedes galloping around the garden like a lunatic!

Mr. Serious

...was not impressed when I told him I would get dinner 'in a few minutes' - he thought I should jump up there and then - so he just stared his hardest stare!

Seriously scary stare!

Now we know what he was thinking about....

planning the great cheese theft - obviously!

"this packet on the floor wouldn't be anything

to do with you would it William?"
