September 8, 2011

Thursday:

Liam played musical beds last night, and between that and Annabelle waking up, I don't think any of us got much sleep.  Today, we had breakfast and started our laundry for the week.  The kids went down early for nap, and Liam woke an hour or so later in a very grumpy mood.  I don't know what the deal is, but it's a constant battle with him on everything.  When he got up he saw the pile of his shirts and wanted to wear one.  I said sure and that he could take the shirt off he had on.  He didn't want to do that.  So he put it on over it.  That was tantrum.  Then he wanted to put anther on, and it didn't fit over the other two, so he threw another tantrum.  I hope we can figure something out to make the rest of the day go by smoother.

Liam  painted Gigi's birthday present today.  It's a wooden chicken that I bought at the craft store, which Liam is very excited about giving Gigi.  He said, "When I give this to Gigi, Gigi will say 'thank you Liam.'"  I agreed she would and thought it was really sweet that he thought of that. 

After Phillip got home, we decided to go out and take pictures at the Zilker Botanical Gardens.  It wasn't too hot, and Liam very quickly fell in love with all the plants and things to see.  At one of the ponds, there was a huge orange fish swimming, which Liam was entranced with.  There were also various statues of 'houses' around with openings in them that Liam could look in.  He really enjoyed doing this too.  We made a game out of pretending we saw things in them ranging from foods to animals, etc.  He thought that was very funny.  We got some great pictures, here are just a few:
