Real quick...
After posting how much I was enjoying this "quality" time with Liam...
I was in the kitchen cleaning and a song came on the radio that Liam likes. I hear him say form the playroom, "dis my song". So I turn it up and go in and try to dance with him. He was really focused on his cars. He looked up at me and said "Leave me alone!". Who knew I was an annoying mom!?! I thought I was hip and cool. Not so much. He apparently isnt enjoying my company as much as I am his...2 year olds always know how to put you in your place.

These days...
ARE FABULOUS!!For those of you who don't know, I lost my job 2 weeks ago. (I like to say Liam got fired. Ha Ha!) While I was sad for it to be over, I was strangely relieved. Even though I have worked for the Hollidays for forever and I love their family dearly, it just wasn't working with Liam going with me anymore. I totally understand why they needed something else, and I was surprised to feel like this was probably also the best thing for Liam too. I loved working for the Hollidays. It was great while it lasted. (and it lasted quite some time!)But now, I have no idea what I am going to do!! I have made all the usual considerations. Nanny again, in home daycare, 9-5 with Liam in daycare, weekend job...but none of those really seem like a great option. So, I am working on my tea business and just enjoying my time off with Liam. And let me tell you, IT IS GREAT! I wish it could just stay this way forever. I have put a few applications in, and have sent a few emails out inquiring for jobs. I have decided that when the right thing comes along I will know it. I am just going to focus for now on this great period of time where I am home with my baby all day doing whatever we want! This morning we made tea together and then Liam sat outside at our patio table and drank his tea in a little tea cup. He looked so cute! He is such an old soul. While I have this time "off" I would love to visit Australia but financially it isn't going to be possible. Sorry Meme and Grandpa! I guess this means that you guys are just going to have to come here! Davia, you too! Jared, Jack, Phylene...you too! O, and you Rox!! I miss you guys. It looks like we are going to make a trip up to Illinois though. Liam is stoked! He keeps saying "me fly". Gigi, he can't wait to see you! Anyways, I am going to post some pics tonight hopefully. There are some great ones of him riding his bike naked! HILARIOUS! Hope everybody is enjoying their week like I am! Love from Liam!

Ode to my Mommy...
I am a lucky girl. I was blessed to have a very loving mother. Mom, I really miss you and wish I was able to be with you more often. I love you and miss you! Happy Mothers Day!
Tonnie, even though you aren't my mommy, I am still blessed by you. Thanks for being a great grandma to my son! We love you. Happy Mothers day!
Today Liam and I skipped his nap. We had way too many fun things to do! First we went to Smoothie King. Liam loves smoothies! Then we were on our way to the park, when we passed Pet Smart. Liam loves Pet Smart! So we made a "quick" little stop there. Liam is such an animal lover! He made his way to EVERY animal in the place! He is particularly fond of the fish...which works for me. Last week, he got a new fish which he promptly named "Ming Ming". (in honor of his favorite Wonder Pets character...)He treats this fish like a dog, its hilarious. He had me put the fish on the fire place ledge, then he pushed his chair over to it, grabbed a few books, and began "reading" to Ming Ming. He is too cute! Anyways, after Pet Smart we made a stop at the park. He also loves the park! We probably go close to everyday! Then from there we dropped in on my Aunt Julia. Liam had a grand time there! He made himself right at home! He ate their pizza, drank their juice and then told me he was ready to go! I figured at that point it was better to just keep him up and put him to be slightly early. That didn't happen. Liam was unusually cuddly and sweet, so he "talked me into" staying up til 9pm. I am such a sucker. Then around 10pm I heard him crying for me. I went in and he said "Momma rock me like baby". How can you say no to that?! We sat in the dark rocking for a good 30 minutes until he was clearly asleep. It was great. I wish I could hold him like that forever. I cant believe how big he is getting so fast. He is the best thing in my life and its hard to see how fast the time is going. He may not be old enough to get me a mothers day gift, but I think today and tonight was his special little gift to me in some way. He is the best! I love being his Mom. Happy Mothers Day to me!
