Liam has grown up so much over the school year. I can't believe he graduated this month!! We were nervous and curious how well he would do at his graduation. He started out shy like he usually does. He was sucking on his robe, and wasn't really singing much. Then after a few minutes, he was the star of the show! He was right in the front and center and he was singing, and doing the moves with the songs. What a vast difference from his first program which was for Halloween! He got separated from the group, and then kept running down the hallway, his teacher kept having to chase him?! He also did really good with his graduation pictures. We were kinda nervous about getting them done because lately when we try to get him to smile he does a silly Thomas the train character face. We were pleasantly surprised at how cute he smiled, and were very relieved!!
So many changes over this last month too!! We got some butterfly larvae, and he has really enjoyed watching the caterpillars grow, and change into butterflies! We released them at Thanksgiving Point garden, and he chased a few of them down, and we were able to get some really cool pictures of them on the flowers.
He has been enjoying his swing set, although it seems he loves to collect Roly Poly's more. This past month has been pretty rainy, so we haven't had much outside time though. He loves to do puzzles now, and can do a 24 piece one all by himself. He wants to dress himself now too, which can be an interesting site at times. He was sick with a tummy bug a few weeks ago, it was the first time it was coming out both ends. He was very good about using a bucket, and also using the potty. We were very glad that we got him potty trained for that one!! He had a dentist appointment earlier in the month, and he did really well. He got x-rays of his teeth, and they were able to get all but one set because he kept gagging, oh well. He thankfully doesn't have any cavities still!! He also remembered the dead bunny on the drive over, which was 6+ months ago?! That kid has a great memory when he wants to. He has been talking in a different language lately. Usually it happens when he is REALLY tired. He has been known to talk the whole way home in his own language. He also will talk in other people's voices. Mainly in Rowan's voice. His voice will get high and squeaky, and he will say something like 'I don't want to go to bed'. or 'I want some food'. It's pretty funny! He has also improved on his language, he has started to use the word 'Either'. And he uses it correctly, like 'I am not feeling good either'. He also uses the word 'Cute'. I have been decorating the 2nd floor with decals. And he will come in and look at them, and say 'Awe Cute'. He saw me holding a new shirt for myself the other day, and said...'that's cute'. Or if Rowan is wearing a new shirt he says it too. He and Rowan absolutely LOVE each other. Sometimes when she is at my mom's house for the day, and he's at Grandma B's house, he will tell her that he misses Rowan. They get along pretty well except when it comes to sharing toys : )
This past weekend, we finally were able to take him to ride on Thomas the Train. The weather wasn't looking good, but we took a warm coat, and an umbrella just in case. After about 30 min. of being there the sun came out, and the weather was perfect. We decided to leave Rowan with Grandma B since it was during her nap time. Plus we thought it would be fun for Liam to have an outing with Mom and Dad by himself. He was very excited and had a great time. After we took a ride, we got a picture in front of Thomas, then we did some of the activities...he did mini golfing for the first time, and we realized that we suck because he's never been before. He definitely needs some practice with that, but he had fun anyway. Then we got him a tattoo sticker on his hand. Then went to the store where he picked out 3 new trains, got both the kids a new T-shirt, and Rowan a hat, and a little Thomas bag to carry everything...They are so spoiled!! Then we were all ready to head home!
