Saturday:
We told Liam this morning before heading out to run around town that we were going to go to the front park and find Easter eggs for the Neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt. It was very unwise of us to do this, since we were late and missed it. I felt really bad, but told him that tomorrow, Mom and Dad would fill his Easter basket with goodies and hide it in the house for him to find and then get the goodies and play. I think this made it better.
We headed to the T-Mobile store where Phillip and I got new phones, and thankfully, they had a kid table there will kid size chairs for him to sit at where I gave him some paper and a pen and he then went on to draw some Pad Thai. The store associate commented on how well behaved he was. I agreed.
Since we got home late, we decided on doing Pizza for dinner which Liam was very happy about, the we went to bed. Every night, it's the same. I 'brush teeth' for Liam and he goes potty and puts his 'Jammas' on, Dad 'read story', and then I come in to seal the deal for bedtime as Dad puts the baby gate up. As I kneel down to tell him good-night, he reaches out his arms and I hug him and give him a kiss on the cheek and he lays down. We 'say prayer' and then I cover him up and say, "Who's that snuggled up in bed ready for a snooze?" He grins and giggles and I end with, "It's my little pumpkin and I love you!" Sometimes he'll finish the rhyme for me, which is always a treat for me. I then leave with the promise of giving him a no-cry treat, vitamin and fish oil in the morning if he stays in bed. I've come to love bedtime now.
