…because moments like these need to memorialized forever.

Liam and I before lunch:

Liam: “Me go mine ding det.” (swing set)

Me: “Mommy is going to clean the basement after lunch then you can play on your swing set.”

At lunchtime:

Me: “Liam, do you want to pray today?”

Liam: “aaahh” (yes). Pause. “No ‘elp me.” (help)

Me: “Ok” and trying not to smile at the cuteness of him squinting his eyes shut.

Liam: “Di Do” (Dear God) long pause “Mo’y ‘elp me.”

Me: “Thank You” (Liam repeats)
“for my food” (ditto)
“and my milk” (ditto)
“and my swing set” (ditto)
“A- Liam interrupts
Liam: ” ‘elp Mo’y keen up” (help Mommy clean up)
Amen.

Can he please just be two forever?

    That photo is just gorgeous. And I can’t wait to hear more than the occasional scattered word from Vince–I have a feeling I may be loving the three year old stage with him more than the twos.

    Aren’t two year olds great!!!! We’re especially enjoying J since we know how fast they grow up…our oldest is 24!! J’s prayer makes us all smile and trying not to laugh during prayer. He repeats quite loudly “Thank you, God! Thank you, God! Thank you, God!” over and over as he squints trying so hard to keep those little eyes shut for several seconds. I would like to videotape it sometime. Beautiful picture….blessings!!!

    If you figure out how to keep Liam two, let me know—because I want to do it to Ariana, too. She was just dancing around the kitchen, gasping with sheer delight, because she found leftover hamballs in the fridge (and talked Mommy into heating one for her breakfast!). She doesn’t talk much yet, but she just started saying a very clear “Amen” at the end of every prayer (including the ones in church on Sunday!).

    Another subject…I just had to confess the sin of envy…because I WANT THOSE SHOES (or at the least, an identical pair in my size).

    P.S. I just noticed that Liam looks very much like his mommy!
