*******************
at the restaurant this weekend, liam showed a preference for sticking out his tongue.



















saturday he was acting funny and seemed warm so i took his temperature and it was 101.6. runny nose, watery eyes, took two naps; diagnosis: head cold.

before his second nap we took him outside to play at the park. daweski warned me the park would be too frozen to play at but i didn't believe him. it was. so instead we went for a long walk.

at first liam was running, jumping, throwing rocks, trying to pick up mud. then as we were rounding the bend for home he sort of gave up and hunched over on the spot. he was winded and tired. daweski literally picked up the slack.



















today the fever is gone and he's acting almost normal. except for the 4am wake up due to (what i can only assume) was a bad dream, he's been sleeping in until 7am which has been wonderful.

on friday he came home from daycare, picked up the remote with one hand, grabbed a CD (of dora the explorer) with the other. he pointed the remote at the TV, held out the CD to me and said "Elmo." i shook my head no, "we don't have Elmo here liam" to which he replied "ELMO!!" distractionary measures were put in place and Elmo was gone from his mind. until the next day when he grabbed the remote and did the same thing again.

i caved yesterday (sunday) and went to Wallmart and bought 2 Elmo's Word videos, which we decided in a whispered discussion over liam's head where we spelled out "e-l-m-o" a lot (just in case the video's weren't in stock).

Elmo is a hell of a lot better for him to watch than Yo Gabba Gabba. but, i have to admit, mommy enjoys Yo Gabba Gabba a hell of a lot more.
