Or ten days, actually. Gran-Gran came back up from Florida for a ten-day visit, and Liam is the happiest I’ve seen him in months. He hasn’t seen her since mid-November, and he’s missed her something fierce.
I just love it when Liam is so happy he oozes joy, and that’s the effect she has on him. [...]

Although neither Kevin nor I have spent much time teaching Liam his alphabet beyond what he picks up when we read to him, it has recently become apparent to me that he knows his letters, and he knows the sounds associated with some of them. At any rate, he was wandering around the living room [...]
ACK!

And now for Breaking News from the Misery Loves Company Department:
Liam has a cold. Again. I have a cold. Again. Also! There is talk of another big snowstorm for the Northeast next weekend.
Really, being how it’s still mid-February and all, I have no right to ask the following question:
When is Spring coming?
Nonetheless, if someone could [...]

I’d bet that most of you who visit this blog also know of Moreena and her family through Moreena’s wonderful writing at Falling Down Is Also A Gift. I’ve been reading Moreena’s blog for a while now, and her writing and her family’s story have both touched my heart. For those of you who don’t [...]
Meet Mr. NO
Posted in Uncategorized on February 16, 2006 | 2 Comments »
I spent yesterday wondering what happened to my sweet, mild-mannered little boy. The day was a constant stream of “NO”’s. Occasionally there was a “‘Cooter Pie say NO!!!” thrown in just for variety. We have a teenage neighbor who sometimes comes over to bail me out for a couple of hours in the late afternoon. [...]

And now for Breaking News from the Cute Things Kids Say Department:
I was drying my hair this morning when Liam came peeling around the corner into the bathroom. He was in obvious terror. The fact that he hates the blowdryer, but chose to run towards it while it was actually on led me to suspect [...]
Snow Day?
Posted in Uncategorized on February 13, 2006 | No Comments »
Yup. It is Liam’s first official School Snow Day. The only problem is he’s too young to understand that lots of kids are actually happy about snow days…
This morning’s conversation:
Liam: “Baby have waffles and then go ‘chool!”
Me: “Waffles we can do. But there’s no school today. Mrs. A. said it’s closed because of all the [...]
So much for the early spring

So much for the predicted 8-12 inches of snow. Try 18 inches. At least. Some scenes from the blizzard of ‘06 (all quotes directly from Scooter Pie himself):
“Mommy! ‘Now. The weather is ‘now!”
“Come, Mommy! It ‘nowed in back, too!”
“No funky ‘nowpants! No!”
Shortly after getting all geared up for fun in the snow, the snowpants and [...]

Baby Must Touch ‘Paca!
What’s Up with that Crazy Kid???
Being the animal lovers we are, all three of us took a trip to the Pet Expo today. We managed to beat the blizzard and have some fun. No ferrets this year, but lots of other new friends to meet! Liam had his first pony [...]
