Happy

The other day Brian put a band aid on Liam's finger and Liam came running over to me at the table where I was sitting with a friend and said "Look mommy, this band aid don't slow me down!" and then proceeded to run. He has this way of talking and explaining things very matter of "factly" (can i make that a word?) where he uses his hand and nods his head to the side as though he is just getting his point across. He frequently does this for a popsicle. At about 9:00 in the morning - "Hey mommy, it's really very hot outside I think I might need a didi (ie: word for popsicle). Perfect time for the hand and head tilt. It's really quite obvious mom.....

Cousin

I never really grew up with cousins that were close by or close in age, but I think I missed out. Ella came to visit this weekend with Grandma. Grandma came close to coming alone, but were so happy when Ella was able to join her. Liam adores her and I think she thinks he is quite funny too :) She is such a sweet and loving little thing and I wish we could see her more often. I asked her if we could adopt her, but she declined....

We love you sweet little lady!! Come again soon.
