Liam is entering that stage! He’s still a very sweet little boy but he’s definitely entering the terrible two’s! His favorite word is No, but he says it in such a cute small voice that it’s still hard to resist (yes, I’m aware that will change!). He’s finally talking more, we were just about to get a little worried, but he’s trying harder and mimicking more.

We’ve been going to Disneyland lately since we have an annual pass, and made a trip to the Wild Animal Park too! But Liam’s favorite place is still in the sand at the park, with his bucket and shovel. And now instead of zoning out in front of Sesame Street while I cook dinner, Liam brings over the stool to stand next to me and help me cook! It’s so cute, he helps me measure and pour and stir, peels and crushes garlic, squeezes lemons, and also nibbles on everything too! He’s a very good helper with everything including getting the groceries out of the car and putting things away.

We’re still in the Music Together class which Liam really loves; we did try a gym class, but Liam wasn’t really into it because he’s pretty timid in that he doesn’t like climbing and hanging or jungle gyms etc. In fact while all the other kids were jumping off steps and balancing on beams, Liam was underneath them trying to figure out how to undo the screws holding everything together! He’s our little engineer, always trying to figure out how things work. I can’t believe that he’ll be two years old in less than three months!
