On driving

Ian and Liam driving home one day.

L:  "Daddy,  slow down."

They go over railroad tracks.

L:  "Daddy,  I worry about your car breaking!"

Home

Ian was having a discussion with Liam about where we live.

I:  "Where do we live?"
L:  "Okemos!"
I:  "And what state do we live in?"
L:  "..."
I:  "We live in Michigan."
L:  "Yeah!  And Sparty won!!"

Must be some show!

One of Liam's new favorite activities is to watch "The Cupcake Movie."  This involves sitting on the bottom step on our stairs and looking at the blank wall directly across from it.  He prefers Daddy to watch it with him.  Occasionally, he gets up to do the "Cupcake dance," which is simply bobbing up and down a bit.

I don't know what "The Cupcake Movie" is about other than it has dinosaurs in it.

Bang!

I am reminded that Liam seems to be doing many amusing things after we put him to bed these days.

On Sunday night, the kid refused to go to sleep.  He wanted singing.  He wanted to take multiple toys to bed.  Then he bumped his head.  Finally, we thought he was calm and headed downstairs.

About ten minutes later, we heard this loud thumping noise coming from upstairs.  Ian checked on him and reported back the following:

I:  "Liam, were you thumping on the wall?"

L:  "No." [pause] "Yes.  I did it.  The fumpin'.  I did the fumpin'."

And then he kicked the side of his crib into the wall again and laughed.

About an hour and multiple trips up the stairs by both of us later, he finally calmed down.

But yes, he did the "fumpin'."

Overheard on the monitor

Mummy,  I farted.  I farted, mummy.

Repeat 10x.

So proud

Liam choose a career path tonight.   He wants to be a stripper.

Don't ask...

Liam was sitting in Daddy's lap last night, about to get ready for bed.

I:  "Do you need to go potty?"

L:  "Yeah."

(pause)

I:  "LIAM!!!!!!!!"

Apparently the potty couldn't wait.  Commence late night laundry to include Daddy's jeans.
