WORDS PER MINUTE

They are both only at about 45 words per minute... so obviously we have some work to do.

TOAST

Liam loves toast at breakfast. I'm glad to find the foods that he loves but there is a problem with toast. Instead of eating it he spends most of his time sucking/chewing it. It seems that adding toast to the breakfast menu adds another 20 minutes to breakfast while Liam absorbs the taste out of it before finally downing it.

This morning I used a large slice of what bread for him and even after cutting it in half he still had two fairly large sections. He took a good a good look at them and said, "Eh!! FORK!" I got him a fork after his "please" and "thank you." He jabbed the fork into the top slice and tried to fit it into his mouth with no luck. With toast particles all over his face he said, "EH! CUT! CUT!" So I got a knife out and started chopping the toast up. As I walked away I heard "tank you" and he began sucking the butter out of the toast squares.

Breakfast seems to be his best meal of the day. We're not sure how much he eats for lunch but dinner can be hit or miss. In general he finishes anything on his plate at breakfast.

When we are at home his favorites are:

Toast

Cheerios "ohs"

Apple Jacks "jacks"

Grapes

Bananas

When we go out for breakfast the favorites are:

Toast

Sausage Links

Fried Eggs

BIG POTTY

Liam has been working on his potty skills. Poop isn't going so well but the pee-pee is coming along.

PUDDLES

For a while it was raining... but now it's just snowing again.

Liam is happy either way.

DYLAN'S BIRTHDAY

I went to cousin Dylan's birthday party.

He got to eat a big cake.

I got locked in a cage cause everyone says I'm a wild animal.

But Aunt Mairin rescued me.

And then we had a family hug.

GG TIME

Liam is visiting his GG this week.

FRIENDS

Dylan came to visit twice this week.

Liam said, "Use my lion but stay away from my bottle."

Dylan showed him a new recipe for breakfast.

Which was so good that Liam swam in it.

Katherine came to the Museum of Play with us Saturday.

Liam and Dylan played a duet.

Carter was here to visit for the whole weekend.

He sold Wegman's out of carrots.

And Liam gave him a deal on a bulk price.

They both had mixed feeling about the public transportation.

Liam was on the verge of tears when it was time for Carter to leave.

STRAWBERRY DAY

Jamie and I have to share him as a date.

MUSICAL CHOCOLATE

Jamie was cooking with white chocolate chips yesterday. Liam got a hold of one of them but he didn't try to eat it. He continually try to stuff it into his ear. He tried both ears several times and each time it fell out he tried to mash it back in. He kept going until the little chip finally got mashed up and he had nothing left.

Why was Liam try to stuff a white chocolate chip into his ear?

It was very odd but Jamie came up with the answer. We both have ear bud style headphones and both sets are white. Liam thought the white chocolate chip was an ear phone and he was trying to hear some music.

SNOW DAY

Jamie got her snow day on Wednesday. Liam had a different kind today.
