This morning we were headed out to Dad and Linda's so that we could pick up the dogs and drop off some jerky ingredients, and on the way out I was kinda frazzled since I was running late, forgot my wallet, and still had to go to the grocery store to pick up a few things and it was past 9:30. As I backed out of the drive and began to drive off, Liam goes, "Close garage door, Mommy!" I'm glad I have a smart little boy to remind me of such things, and I'm sure Phillip will be very happy as well.
When we got to Grandpa and Grandma Linda's, they showed us their baby kitties, which are much bigger than they were the last time, and Liam fell in love. My parents offered us one, and as Liam would love to have one, we've done it before and the whole litter box thing, Phillip allergies, etc is just not with it. I think we will start with a gold fish for his third birthday. That will be fun. At their house, Liam almost ate them out of raisins, and even ate some raw groats. In their front yard, he found a little red car that who knows how long has been out there, and asked Grandpa to clean it off, and keep it. He, of course, let him.
We came home and tried for nap, and that just wasn't happening, so we packed up and headed to Bonny's for a sew day. Liam and Violet did a lot of spraying with spray bottles outside, which reminds me, I have got to but one for Liam. It's a dollar investment, and entertainment for hours. Especially on days that I decide to get out and hang dry clothes on the clothes line. He'll have something to do.
For dinner, since I forgot to thaw something, we went to Freddy's place. They have a little play ground there, with a slide and swing. For a while there were some much bigger kids running around and Liam would watch them and laugh whenever they fell down. There was also a live band playing of a friend of Bonny's (who met us there with Violet) that Liam loved. When they would finish a song, he would clap and yell, "YAAAAAYYY!". He would also do some dancing and head wobbling to the tunes. After the big kids left, Violet really wanted to push him on the swings, but he's not really a fan of swinging.
I put Annabelle in the swing, and Liam and Violet took turns pushing her. He really liked that. It started to get dark, and we began to head out. It was past 8:30 and that coupled with a no-nap-day, sent off the two-year-old-fits. It was worth it though. We all had a lot of fun, and bed time was a breeze since Liam was already starting to fall asleep in the car.
