Fartacus

Liam and I were in the car and he farted.
Me: who farted?
Liam: Me
Me: you farted?
Liam: Yes. We all farted.

Liam: hey mom, stay in your room ok?
Me: why?
Liam: 'cause I'm going to get something.
Me: What are you going to get?
Liam: I'm NOT going to get an ice cream sandwich

Mind of Mariah

Mariah's teacher asked parents to talk to their kids about their strengths and weaknesses and to set some goals to prepare for SEPs. When I asked Mariah what she thought her strengths were she said, without any conceit, "I'm good at everything!"
Im glad she is confident.

Liam lately

Last night

Liam: guess what, mommy.
Me: what?
Liam: I wuv you

Last week Cody was hunting flies with the fly swatter. Liam named one of the flies Little Little. Every time Cody missed Liam celebrated facetiously
while cheering Little Little on.
Cody said, "Liam, I'm going to paddle you on your little butt."
Unmoved, Liam replied, "I'm going to paddle you on your BIG butt!"

Liam Lately (from other website archives, 7/2/2011)

I haven’t posted since Cody switched our blog over so...we’ll see how this goes.  

Liam is still insane but cuter than ever.  Still keeping us in stitches.  

here’s what he’s been up to:

-going #2 on the potty since february but still going #1 in his pull up most of the time.

-still in love with his binky but only uses it to sleep!  It’s awesome actually cause he’s really excited about nap and bedtime.

-loves to play pretend with Mariah, mom and dad.  

His favorite games are lions (with Daddy) puppy with Mommy (Mommy is the puppy) and “supah heeyos and supah viw-yins” (super heroes and villains) with anybody.  And he’ll play just about anything with Mariah all day long.  oh and he plays robots. He’ll push a button on his head or tummy and make sound effects.   And usually what ever he is playing it involves standing on the windowsill and jumping off onto our bed

-he loves anything related to firefighting.  He loves the end of the movie Annie because there are “fiya fiduhs!”  He has a fireman hat and loves to get his hose and save everybody.  And he thinks firefighters are the ultimate heroes....if daddy can’t save us and the superheroes can’t save us...the firefighters can.

-he loves coins. whenever he finds one he carries it around all day calling it his “yucky peh-yee”  (lucky penny)

-He says 

“pih-yee pease” in his sweetest voice while clasping his hands to the side of his cheek and batting his eyes.  It’s very hard to resist. 

-he calls himself “yiam” and it’s way cute.  

Lately  i’m always surprised by the words he knows.  The other day we were driving to Costco and he says,

“Mommy, Costco make me nervous.”

“Costco makes you nervous? Why?”

“cause the big machines.”  i’m guessing at the check out when he and Mariah are in the cart and i’m on the other side of the big machine.  I don’t know.  But i didn’t know he knew what nervous means.

he just seems to be aware of everything that is going on.  he’s always listening, when we think he’s not he’ll chime in and comment on the subject.  He’s is very aware of other people, for a 2-year-old anyway.  He always makes sure Mariah gets a treat if he gets one.  he’s really good at sharing.  Don’t get me wrong, i don’t think he’s perfect, but i’m his mom and i think he’s awesome.
