A Tooth!

That barely visible white thing on the bottom right of Livi's mouth broke through yesterday. There were a couple times before I thought Livi was teething, but she wasn't. This was the real deal.

Obviously, teething made her a bit cranky and rightly so. It gave me a glimpse into what life could have been like had she not been a perfect baby and has made me even more grateful for her awesomeness. One overly dramatic child is enough for me thank you very much.

I really need to start giving this kid more credit. We almost didn't go to this little shindig because we "knew" how Liam would react to seeing the big, red dog known as Clifford in real life. To put it lightly, he has never cared for characters. He has always been downright petrified of them. And this outing was no different at first. Then he spotted his buds dancing and swaying in the back row and ran to them.

When the line formed for kids to meet and take pics with Clifford, he choose to sit back with mom and be more of an observer. Until, once again, his buds took the stage with Clifford and then the craziest thing happened. This kid wandered into my shot! And not just any kid- MY kid! Before I knew it, he was wanting to take his own pics and giving Clifford high-fives. I don't know why I find this whole event so fascinating. Maybe to me it signifies a bit of growing up on his part. Like he is finally thinking about the situation and realizing it's silly to be afraid. Or maybe I am overthinking it as usual and he just succumbed to peer pressure?

Hmph!

This isn't supposed to go so fast. We had an agreement Livi. We were gonna stay in this baby phase for a while. Did you forget? Now, you are pulling your body up, trying to sit up on your own. And last night, you up and rolled yourself across the floor to get to a toy. I don't know if we will have another kid so I will only tell you this one more time... PLEASE! just slow it down...please...

I may or may not have promised two small boys some chocolate in order to get these photos.

Being 2 is the perfect combination of understanding how to interact and thinking everything is hilarious. How awesome to be able to pick up any random object and show it to your buddy and think it is the funniest thing ever. Oh, to be 2 again.
