Liam woke this morning around 8:00, and I think the extra little sleep he got did him a lot of good. He had breakfast with Gigi, and then, in the afternoon, he, Gigi and I headed out to get some pizza for lunch. There was a fit about eating, and I sent Liam to the room. He cried out that he had to go potty, and he obviously needed help, so I went in. I mentioned something to him and he said, 'no' or 'I don't want to' or something to that effect, and I really don't care for any more of that. I put my foot down and made it very clear that I'm not going to tolerate that tone and those comments anymore. After he was done, I told him to go eat and after he was done with his pizza, he was going to nap. That conversation went like this, "After you eat your pizza, you are going to take a nap."
"After I eat my pizza, I going to eat more pizza."
"Fine, after you eat more pizza, you are going to nap."
"After I going to eat a lot of pizza."
"Okay, eat a lot of pizza, and then you are coming back here to nap."
"I going to eat all the pizza."
"Okay, after the pizza is gone, you are going to nap."
"I eat a lot of pizza."
"Liam, you are going to nap, do you understand?!"
"Uh-huh."
He's going to be very good in sales, debate, and negotiation. We shall see where that takes him.
He did nap, with no fuss, and after a couple hours, Annabelle woke and woke him. He came in the bathroom where Annabelle and I were and I could tell he wasn't ready to get up. I passed Annabelle off to Phillip and Liam and I went to lay back down. He rested a bit and after I left, he wasn't too far behind me. This time, when he came out, he was smiling and ready to wake.
We went swimming later, and Liam had a lot of fun. He wanted out of the floating airplane and wanted to hang out and swim with Phillip and me. He also went to blowing bubbles as well, a big leap. We headed in before too long.
Gigi and Papa gave Liam a Dr.'s kit, which he really likes. He took a couple of our blood pressures, and then checked all our heart beats. It was so cute to watch him put the stethescope in his ears, and use all the tools. He then asked Gigi if she had any gloves. She did, and he really liked that. He went to check Annabelle out by listening to her heart and checking her ears. She kept trying to eat the ear examiner tool when he put it up to her, so he didn't have much luck. Then, when it came to taking her temperature, for what ever reason, he insisted it had to be done in her ear, and she wasn't having this. She kept pulling it out, and Liam became very frustrated and yelled at her. I tried to explain that if she didn't want him to put something in her ear, she had that right and he should maybe leave her alone now. I think he got it, and he backed off.
Bed time took place a little after 8:00, and both the kids were very ready. Hopefully they get some good sleep tonight.
