The Influence of NFL Training Camp

Since we got NFL Training Camp (for the Wii) as a gift from Mommy last Christmas, Liam has become an expert on jump squats, bag hops, crunches with punches and other fun things.  He also learned to how to do planks and bridges and he likes practicing these moves wherever he can.

One other thing he's picked up from NFL Training Camp is saying "Come on!" when he thinks it's appropriate.   We were wondering where he picked up this phrase from when I heard it last night from the game's trainer. Of course he picks the worst times to use this phrase like when we're frustrated by the way the MapQuest app directed us to a dead-end street when we were trying to get on Lake Shore Drive so we could get to the Midway airport on time for our flight.  I've noticed that he likes to use "Come on!" when were in the car.  Mommy especially does not like this.

Who wants to walk on the "Sears Tower" glass bottom Skydeck?  We probably won't the next time we're in Chicago (Mommy hates the idea but says Daddy needs to get additional life insurance first if he's dumb enough to walk out there).

Four glassed-in outcroppings on the west side of the Sears Skydeck let visitors feel like they're floating over the city below. The ledge was inspired by similar decks at the Grand Canyon and Toronto's CN Tower. (Artist's renderings)
