Jailhouse Rock, Busch Gardens and BIG NEWS

Liam saw a video on Youtube about a month ago of a little boy dancing the jive. He loves this video, which he calls 'der kleiner Junge der tanzt.' (Click link to view Liam's inspiration http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wt824D1Bqg)

Liam has been trying to learn 'Jailhouse Rock' and dance like the little boy ever since. I caught him the other night dancing. (His lips are blue from a Ring Pop and, yes, his shoes are on the wrong feet.)



Liam went to Busch Gardens for the first time yesterday. It was a great evening. Since he gets in free, we decided it's easier to go up in the evening when the park isn't as crowded and stay for a couple of hours instead of trying to do everything in one day. Liam LOVED the water park, trains, and rides.

Dinner at McDonald's on the way in

Liam's first ride
First roller coaster - Liam's reaction, first thumbs up then 'I was scared!'

Great day, but it was HOT. Time for a break!

The water park - checking things out
This looks like FUN



First funnel cake

At least they are sharing

The Anheiser Busch Clydesdale

Last train ride before going home (at 2130!!!)

And, finally, our BIG NEWS!!!! Liam is potty trained. Like all other things, when he finally decided he was ready it didn't even take a week. The trick? I finally just told him I was sending him to school in 'big boy underwear'. We did that two weeks ago and had two accidents in the first 3 days and that was it. He tells us when he has to go and we have had no accidents on 10 days. He even stayed dry at Busch Gardens!!

We told Liam when he was potty trained he could ride on Nanna's and Poppa's boat (because the boat is not for babies.) Here is Liam getting ready!!
