My Sweet and Funny Liam,
I want to remember this: Last night as I drove out to Nanna Annette's I was imagining you as you grow up. (Not that I haven't done this before but now that we are on the path to owning our own home the future is easier to imagine.) Anyway it was such a pretty fall day (no snow yet which is odd) I was daydreaming a little as I drove and for some reason I started thinking about if you will want a pet of your own someday like a lizard. I wondered how your dad and I would handle it and if we'd let you have one (we probably will if you ask). Then I imagined you standing in your room, about eight or so years old and I could hear you asking me and I could see you telling me where it could live in your room and how you'd take care of it. It was the nicest little day dream and it suddenly occurred to me that you won't be this tiny little boy forever. I know that seems silly but I just so enjoy the strange you are currently at that it sort of didn't dawn on me that you will be eight some day and may want a lizard. I just laughed.
Then we got home, I let you play in the livingroom while I prepared dinner, you were extra chatty and just looking at books. I went to peak in on you and you had picked up a toy car and were wondering around chatting with yourself and I just smiled, you are such a little boy! You love trucks and making noise and I can so see the boy you will become. You are going to fill our lives with so much joy, so much more than you already do.
Maybe I'm extra sappy lately, you'll probably think I'm silly for even wanting to remember these simple things but I just love you....I love being your mom. You are absolutely the best thing that has ever happened to me and I cherish every moment with you.
I love you Liam, so very much!

Extra Dadda Time
You Lucky Boy!
Lately you've gotten all kinds of extra time with Dadda! The first time (about two weeks ago) probably wasn't a ton of fun for you as you had a random fever but I wanted to let you know your Dad took the time off without a second though! How nice is that! Yesterday when Dadda came home he said work had been extra slow this week so he'd taken tomorrow (now today) off to spend with you! Lucky you!
This morning you got to sleep in an extra 45 minutes, you woke up with happy chatter, it was so sweet! I made all of us cheesy scambled eggs since I was up early to prepare for work. We all happily ate and chatted in the kitchen, it was like you knew you'd get extra time at home with Dad! Soon enough I had to get to work, first I cleaned you up and changed your diaper and we snuggled a little extra.
I called before lunch to see how you were, Dad said you just smiled at the phone when you heard my voice. Since you were still up I made a special trip home at lunch to see you. We snaked together and chatted, I cleaned you up again and we sat in your rocking chair just snuggling before I had to head off to work again.
You are a very lucky boy, I want you to know just how much your Dadda loves you! You are the light of his heart and soul, he would truly do anything for you! When you hug him or shout "DADA!" his face fills with joy, please always know we love you so very much!
I can't wait to see you sweet boy, only two more hours of this silly work day!!

Your Second Halloween {Parenting Fail}
Peanut,
So, to say your Dad and I are newbies at this parenting stuff is putting it lightly. Sometimes it's glaringly obvious you are our first child. Like this Halloween, your second. We had the brilliant idea of dressing you up and parading you all over town to see people....we didn't think about the fact that your costume (a Rooster!) didn't work in your car-seat, we ended up having to put you in and out of your costume over and over. Oh did I mention you don't like your car-seat right now? Hot mess.
You did great at the first house, Dad's co-worker and ok at the second which was my boss' home. But after driving clear across town and back to Aunt E's house you were totally over it. And understandably too. We spent a good 20 or so minutes there just letting you run around and play (you liked the cat and a stuffed spider Auntie had). But at 7:40p (10 mins after your regular bed time) you melted down and were totally done. We loaded you up once more and headed home.
The next day I let you enjoy your little bag of m&m's and you happily carried around a mini Almond Joy (where did that go anyway, ut oh!)
Needless to say next year we will be staying in our own neighborhood and letting people come to you! Next year you are going to get to enjoy it lots and lots like you should! Sorry about this year peanut! (Side note; for some reason I've been calling you peanut a lot lately.....even shortening it to Pea and you respond to me! Yikes, I should probably get better at calling you Liam!)
Much Love,
Momma
