Starting to catch up

I won't feel that I have caught up at all until I  get Christmas onto the blog. That being said, here are some random pictures from January and February. If I keep working backwards I will start catching up!

 Liam helping in the kitchen

Liam FINALLY got to pick the lemons!!

This was a rather unfortunate injury.

(Notice the rice sock!!)

 Liam learned about foxes in school last week. I thought this fox hat was really cute.

After taking Liam's picture he insisted on taking mine.

Liam didn't appreciate his humor when he said 'Mami is a fox!'
and Tobias and I laughed. :-)

Cousins, salad spinner, and tummy stamp

Some random pictures of Liam from the last few days . . .

The boys hanging out at TT and Bucci's house

Liam's favorite breakfast hat

Liam's tummy stamp (DON'T wash it off!) This picture
is a little blurry because Liam wouldn't stop jumping.

Fox

Liam is learning about foxes this week in play school. He has been talking about them a lot. Today, he was a fox when Tobias picked him up.

King and Ring Pop

Wow. I can't believe it's been nearly two months since I last posted.  It's been a crazy two months to say the least. Here are a couple pictures from the last couple of days. More to come!!!

Liam started wearing this today and saying he the king.

Will work for ring pops!!

Christmas Program

Liam had his first Christmas program at school on Tuesday. His class sang two songs and told a knock-knock joke. Liam has been working very hard on his songs and we finally got to see why. 

The first song was I'm a Little Snow Man. The tune is to I'm a Little Teapot but the words are:
I'm a little snowman, short and fat.
Here are my buttons. Here is my hat.
When the suns comes up I cannot play.
Slowly I will melt away.

 

We told Liam if he behaved and listened well that he would get a treat. Apparently his teach had arranged the same thing. After the first song Liam ran up to us asking for his treat. We told him he had to finish so he turned to his teacher and said 'Can we have our treat now?' :-)

The second was Santa Claus is coming to town. Aydan (the kid Liam blames everything on!) introduces the song by saying 'Hey everybody, Santa Claus is coming town.' (This video is slightly clipped. I will fix that in final editing.)

Liam did a great job so he got a special treat - a lollipop!!

I (heart) Liam

Cara is in Liam's play school class. She has a crush on Liam. We first learned of this at Thanksgiving when she wrote on her project that she was thankful for 'the mommies, the daddies, the puppies, and the Liams.' She always screams and yells and runs up to him when he arrives each morning (a bit like Elvis or The Beatles). Liam doesn't know what to do with all of it. It seems like it scares him a little.

Today she showed up wearing this t-shirt!! She's covering the important part but you get the picture.

Knock-knock

Our first knock-knock joke. Let the fun of preschool knock-knock jokes begin!!
