One Day Soon


Now that Liam is old enough to understand holidays a little better, it's a lot harder to get things by him. Every store we walk into has Easter paraphernalia littering the entryway so it's natural for him to want to know about the holiday. I try to explain it the best I can, but all he hears is basket full of goodies and all he wants to know is "when". Every morning for the last two weeks has been started with the question "Today is Easter?".

Although he might be old enough to "get" the special occasion, he is definitely NOT old enough to understand the time frame or the fact that we have to wait until a certain day. I am sure he thinks I am just making him wait as some sort of evil, twisted game. You know how depraved us mommies can be. But in all reality it will be here before ya know it. Hare and gone.. get it.. hare.. ok, ok.. maybe I am a bit depraved...

Star Wars



It started with a sweatshirt. Evan left his Star Wars sweater at our house and Liam asked me about it. "Can you talk about Star Wars?" And so it began. I started explaining the different characters from the movie and he was enthralled. He wanted to hear about it over and over again. Obviously, he isn't old enough to watch the actual Star Wars, but he will watch the Lego version over and over again. "I don't like Jar Jar Beans Mommy" " Nobody does honey".

Now he has a couple Star Wars toys and loves to listen to the soundtrack from the movie on Daddy's phone. He's hooked and we can't wait until the day he gets to watch the real deal. Move over Buzz Lightyear, Darth Vader is in town.

Awesome Things Liam Says

Liam: Mommy, when I get home can I play outside with Daddy?

Me: Well, Daddy is not really feeling so well right now.

Liam: When I get home, I am going to give him lots of hugs and a tissue and make him blow his nose and then he can play outside? Then he will feel better?
