EASTER BUNNY

Jamie has Liam pretty amped for Easter. On "Easter Eve" he went to bed snuggling with his bunny to get ready for the candy bonanza tomorrow.

FIRST HIKE OF THE YEAR

THE GRILL IS OPEN

I got the grill ready yesterday so that Liam could cook up his first open flame meal of the grilling season. He thought the chicken was done after 20 seconds so I finished up for him.

TEDDY VISITED

Liam had a good time when Teddy came to Rochester for a visit.

JAMIE'S SON

IN MY PLACE

A conversation a few days ago that really put me in my place.

Liam was not wearing a diaper for his afternoon nap and he took an impressive dump while sleeping. It left his legs covered in crap. I picked him out of bed and hurried him to the bathroom to strip off his clothes and get him into the tub. I did plenty of damage on the way there and so I set the shower running for him to start cleaning off while I went to work wiping the splatter up off the bathroom floor.

From behind the shower curtain he started talking....

Liam: "Daddy, you there?'

Me: "Yup."

Liam: "You cleanin' up my poop?"

Me: "I sure am."

Liam: ".....OK... good job."

BLUE SLED

There has been little snow to work with this year. When we finally got a big storm today Liam and I went to the store to pick out a new sled. He picked out a blue one and we got some good runs in off the back deck.

LITTLE VALENTINE

Jamie knows she'll get nothing from my cold heart on Valentine's Day so she's recruited a new 'honey bear.'

(As long as he gets to eat the dough he's happy with the setup.)

MILK ON MY SHIRT

"I have my milk on my shirt."

BABY LOTION

In the old days I had to do all this work myself. Now I have a secretary. Thank you Liam.
