Liam the lawyer

Liam has been very argumentative lately, trying out all sorts of "what if" scenarios.

"Time to go to bed, Liam." "What if I don't go to bed?"
"The car can't drive itself, Liam." "What if the car does drive itself?"
"Don't stab me with the [balloon] sword, Liam." "What if I do stab you?" [stabbity stab stab]

This evening we were discussing his repulsive habit of spitting out half-chewed food if he suddenly decides that he doesn't want it anymore.

"If it goes in your mouth, Liam, you chew and swallow it." "What if I spit my gum in the trash can?"

I give up, Liam wins (which itself needs to be another post - the boy is turning into a seriously sore loser!).

What's that cat's name again?

Liam decided to pronounce Kirk's name as Kack yesterday. I corrected him and told him it was "Knnrk" so he pronounced it the way he used to say it "when he was a baby". At least he didn't threaten Kirk with "be quiet or I'm gonna get ya!" as he's done before.

He still wears "overyalls" and likes "baby jagwater" and will visit "the Barnes and the Noble" or eat at "Old McDonald's". And we'll be a little sad the day he pronounces each word or phrase like a big kid...

Shutting down

Because Liam is no longer cute, charming or funny, this blog will be shut down immediately

"I don't need nobody"

Liam threw a ball across the room a few minutes ago, against Mommy's specific instructions. Mommy said "I told you not to do that. Timeout! Go to your corner!"

Liam's reply, delivered in a perky sing-song: "All by myself! I don't need nobody!"

Comments on the Westminster Dog Show

"It needs a hair cut."

Liam then and now

Here's a Liam video from 8 Dec 2008.

And here's one we took a few days ago, 7 Jan 2010. (It's a little late for Rudolph but we weren't able to capture a video until recently.)

A post so short, it could've been a tweet

...if we used Twitter

I received this text message from Heather yesterday:

Hadn't even gotten past Souplantation when Liam said "Mama? I took off my socks. Mama say 'why baby?'"

The kid is so bossy, he even tells us what to say when he does something he shouldn't have done.
