What'd you expect me to say?
So, Liam's a little under the weather. I thought he felt warm tonight, so I talked Brad into pinning him down while I went at him with that horrible rectal thermometer.
As soon as the dirty deed was done and it was clear he did indeed have a fever, I tried to get at the nature of the illness by asking, "Liam, does something hurt?"
"Yes," he answered, with a whimper.
"What hurts, sweetheart?" I asked, in my most sympathetic mommy voice.
Still whimpering, he replied, "My butt."
Brad and I laughed so hard, eventually even Liam started to giggle.

Look out, there's a two year old in the house!
Liam turned two today, the whole family came to celebrate with us, and there were no tantrums! (BTW, no one was worried about the two-year-old having a tantrum--it was mom who has a history of losing it at 2 year b-day parties!)
Perhaps the best moment of the day was when Liam opened a package of balls for his new ball pit (thanks, Papa and Nana...I think) and instantly 175 balls were flying through the air! He was in heaven!

The First Day of School!
Drew started Pre-K today! Our district has a great program for those summer birthday kids who could go to kindergarten but would benefit from a little extra time. He'll go all day (8-3) three days a week. He's SO excited and I know he's going to love it.
As for mom, those four hours between 11 (when he used to be done with preschool) and 3 are going to seem like an eternity!

He's five...
...and able to leap small buildings in a single bound!
The birthday theme this year was water fun!!
We spent a wonderful afternoon celebrating with family at beautiful park complete with beach front.
And for the "kid" party: one slip and slide, one inflatable pool, and a cooler full of water balloons=6 very wet, but very happy kids! (I had to call them twice for cake!!)
Who would have guessed blue frosting could be so much fun?
