August 11, 2011


Thursday:

This morning, IHOP, where Liam ate his entire breakfast of a fried egg, a piece of bacon and five silver dollar pancakes, then my last piece of toast. I was so proud of him.

We finished running errands all morning, and then we came home for nap. I'm really hoping the kids get some rest. I went towards the room as I thought I heard Liam up. I get to the door and see a sleepy Liam who said, "Anbel wake me up." Sure enough, she was up as well. I went to pick up Annabelle with Liam on one hip, and Liam said, "Anbel want go back to bed right now!" I told him I thought they were both up for good now. After nap, we headed out to Target to get a couple outfits for the kids so that we could take a picture of the two of them for Papa's birthday. We started outside and that really didn't work to well. It was bright, and we were trying to get both of the kids to sit on a rock together, without either falling off, and that just didn't work. I had earlier bribed Liam with a cookie giving him half of it before we took the picture and then a promise of the other half after he was cooperative and gave big smiles during picture taking. He was doing so well, and it was really his sister that wasn't working well with us. There were too many distractions outside, so we moved inside. Much more success, and we ended up getting one good picture. Mission accomplished!

After that, we made dinner, ate, and after Liam looked at pictures with Papa for a while, naming everyone in them, and then he went to bed without a fuss a little before 9:00.
