Great Papa and Great Ama

Not sure how I forgot this one... blame it on the end of the school year? :)

My grandparents were up visiting from Arkansas on Memorial Day weekend... Liam had a lot of fun playing with them!

Building and other fun!

Several weeks ago, we bought a table for our back deck... and had to assemble it! Liam turned out to be an awesome helper!  We celebrated finally putting the table together with a trip to the yard waste drop-off and the park!

Riding on the bear with daddy!

Train ride!

First of the season!

Happy Father's Day!

We celebrated with a repeat brunch, a trip to the zoo, lunch at Mo's and a long walk after dinner! Liam has the best Daddy!

Picking Strawberries!

Liam went on his first strawberry picking adventure with ama, papa, and mama last thursday after swim class... He loved it! He is a champion strawberry picker... Such a grown up boy!

Potty!

We jumped headfirst into potty training as well... We had some success, but mostly a lot of accidents! Liam doesn't quite seem to make the connection between having to go potty and sitting on the potty quite yet... A summer work in progress!

Swimming lessons!

We started our "tiny tots" swimming class our first week of summer break. This was Liam's first swim class.., started off rocky, but four classes in and Liam is really enjoying it!

I had every intention of keeping a running record of each swim day... whoops! 

Here's the summary!  First day was filled with A LOT of clinging to mommy in the water and crying, yeah, lots of crying.  He didn't really try a lot that first day, but that was fine.  We got through it, he knew what tomorrow was going to bring... I considered that a success.  For the rest of that week (very COLD week, may I add) Liam did much better.  Still clingy, but would try everything, including kicking, bubble blowing, laying on his back, laying on his tummy, climbing out of the pool, reaching for toys and jumping back into the pool.  The second week, much warmer thankfully, Liam was even more comfortable.  He was less clingy and needed less prodding to do things.  His favorite parts of class were the songs at the beginning (motorboat and old macdonald had a pool) were his favorites.  He really liked pretending to talk to the fish through a small ring by blowing bubbles and then turning his ear to the water to hear their answer... really liked that game!  He also really liked the pancake flip (back to tummy flip) and gliding off the side of the pool (pushing with his legs from the wall).  We had a wonderful time with swim lessons!  Daddy got to take him to swim lessons on wednesday... he will have to recount that tale himself!

Cob!

Liam loves corn on the cob! Maybe this will be the summer of vegetables!

HELLO SUMMER!

I know I'm behind... It's on my to do list! We started summer with a spontaneous trip for ice cream... Liam enjoyed!

Driving

We didn't kill it!

Sometimes this kid floors me!

Tonight at dinner, Liam asked for a napkin... Then immediately asked for a moo napkin. When i told him we only have orange flower napkins, no more moo napkins, Liam replied "just gor my farm party?"

How does he do these things?!?

Saturday Picnic

After a long day playing with ama and papa abd watering the new sod in the backyard, Liam had his first picnic of the year!
