We've had the honor of many birthday invitations since the new year began most of which we have attended. He enjoyed Lilly Kate's birthday picture invitation despite our not being able to attend, had so much fun at Erin's Chuck E Cheese party, a limbo of a time at Lily Star's party and Maura's Horsey party was Giddy Up Fun!!! But, Liam's so looking forward to his Zoo Birthday party. He's talking about it all the time now. The other day he held his cup up high to announe Happy Juice Day and told me how his party was next and it was going to be Zoo Animals. He went on to say how his school friend, Nate, was having a Monster party. I asked Liam's teacher and Nate's mom and neither one of them were aware of the party. Liam's imagination at work!
We love listening to Liam sing: Ring around the Rosy, Row your boat, Twinkle little star, Baa Baa black sheep, Sing Hosannah, Hickory Dickory, Old McDonald, Happy and You Know It and Happy Birthday (his favorite!).
Liam loves to play chase/peekaboo/hide & seek. He likes to hide while you count to five and then pops out to say Boo! He loves to hide in the same two places!!
Liam enjoys the Lion King...lately he likes to stand up on the ottoman and holds his arms up high with his hands together. He's pretending to be Rafiki the Wise Baboon holding Simba up for all the animals to see. Also, you may catch him bowing down like the animals or rolling around on the ground like a lion cub.
He loves to open the car door for his Ganny.
He enjoys matching memory games especially Goodnight Moon from Gandma and Papa.
He enjoys his sandbox...thanks, Ms. Julie! He has blue sand that has turned to blue mud as the sandbox lid blows off when it's windy. Liam loves the mud so I put his new yellow rainboots from Gandma & Papa on the other day. Apparently, they're still a bit big. The poor little guy got stuck in the mud and slurp went the boot as he pulled his foot right out of the boot into the blue mud. He didn't seem to mind and went running after the robin in the yard saying, "My get it" (he thought he would get the bird for me). Instead he got a big surprise when the bird flew up on the fence and then back towards his direction. He ran back to Mommy saying "My scared". So much fun!
He loves bugs! He searches for them inside and outside. Please, let me define inside...that is...inside near the front and rear doors. He has seen ladybugs, small beetles, ants and worms and enjoys studying them with his magnifying glasses. He even brought a beetle to the bathtub one night and lathered it up with his yellow body soap paint...poor beetle.
We've been enjoying the sprinkling of warmer days lately. Our backyard and neighborhood has turned into a bird watching haven. So far we've seen robins, mourning doves, wrens, blackbirds, cardinals, hawks and a redwing blackbird. It's very exciting for Liam to see the Mommy Wren come and go from his birdhouse which Gandma and Papa gave to him last year as a housewarming present. The birdhouse sits in our pear tree and can be seen from inside and outside our home. Birdwatching is also a great way to discuss senses. Liam has fun looking and listening for his birdies. He's already able to point out the call of the mourning dove and cardinal. Nature is so fun!

Liam is certainly growing, using his senses and giving great entertainment to all who are blessed to know him and be around him. We had the best time visiting with him recently and can't wait for our next "reunion".
