Growing Up

Today, Liam turned 3. It seems hardly possible. He has been telling us for a while that he is a big boy and while I have been trying to keep calling him my baby, but I think it is finally time for me to retire the phrase.

To celebrate the occasion, we had a party for Liam and 20 of his closest friends at Gymboree. Here are some of the highlights. Happy Birthday BIG boy!

Super Why

Super Why is a TV show on PBS:
http://pbskids.org/superwhy/

In it, the main character Wyatt solves problem with "the power to
read" by swapping out words in a story to make things better (e.g. the
big bad wolf turns into the little good wolf).

Liam is pretty into Super Why right now. While we were playing this
morning he was pretending that two toys were me and him and they were
trying to get up on to something high. He said: "Oh no, they can't
get up! Who can be Wyatt? Who can be Super Why?"

So I played along and said: "We need the power to read!"

And he replied: "No. We need a ladder!"

Why?

After a long series of why questions during the bedtime ritual tonight, Annika said "you get one more why question, so you don't want to waste it." To which Liam responded "why I don't want to waste it?"
