This is William Kai Martin

-- a kid who invents his own games and challenges you to figure out how to play these games

-- an introvert who prefers to observe all that is around him at first whenever he's in an unfamiliar environment

-- an extrovert who is capable of making those who meet him for the first time feel very special

-- an enthusiastic helper who would get angry if you refuse his offer to help (sweeping, vacuuming, moving heavy objects, doing the laundry, doing the dishes, putting stuff on the conveyer belt at the super market, giving your credit card to the next person in line, you name it)

-- a fast learner who knows how to count from one to 10 in English and to 5 in both Chinese and Spanish, in the correct order

-- a linguist who is able to give an answer in Chinese to a question I ask in English... and vice versa

-- a comedian who enjoys a good laugh and making people laugh (i.e., putting on Mommy's sunglasses upside-down on his face). He also makes sure you know it's funny by looking you in the eyes and saying, "Funny!" (as in, "Funny, right?!")

-- a social butterfly who asks his dad to help him call his friends ("Call Jordy", "Call Gemma")

-- a friendly host who makes sure the guests to our house are thoroughly entertained by constantly passing beer bottles to their rightful owners and telling them to "Drink!"

-- a loyal hockey fan who shouts "We Won" every time the game is on

-- a natural politician who says "hi" and "bye" to strangers and is very good at remember people's names

-- an avid photographer who enjoys playing with Mommy's camera and, more importantly, loves looking at pictures and watching videos of himself

-- a narcissist who loves checking himself out and acting in front of the mirror... and he'd ask you to get the camera when he thinks it's a photo op

-- a natural flirt... need I say more?

-- a talented musician who's obviously got rhythm

-- a passionate dancer who dances until he drops... literally... because he gets dizzy from spinning in circles

-- a copycat who'd imitate you because he's a curious almost-2-year-old AND to make fun of you

-- an expressive actor whose face and body language show ten times the emotion he's actually feeling

-- a sly stinker who knows to crank up his charm right before his parents realize the trouble he's gotten himself into

-- a bossy perfectionist who insists on other people doing what he wants done his way and has very little tolerance for error

-- a lover who generously gives hugs and kisses when you need them the most (and you are ever so lucky, you may get a "wa-vu" (love you) with a big squeeeeeeeeze
