Random Things about Liam

So here's a few things that make me laugh/shake my head about my son.

1. Ordering him a muffin and making the HORRIFIC mistake(by the way he reacted) by starting to take off the paper cup. Trying to reason with him wasn't working so I then squished it back onto the muffin bottom. Wasn't a pretty sight but seemed to appease him.
2. We were in the grocery store and he was looking at the blown up helium balloons. I tell him we have to go and tell him to say "bye-bye balloons". I take a couple steps, realize he's not coming and turn around expecting a tantrum. He's saying bye-bye and giving each balloon a kiss. The florist girl found it quite funny as well.
3. Picking him up from daycare one day and I'm holding him in my arms while I talk to his daycare lady. He had asked for a cookie which I had said yes to but I guess that wasn't enough reassurance for him. He puts a hand on either side of my face and turns it so I'm directly look him in the face and proceeds to babble quite seriously to me with about every 3rd word being cookie. I got the message.
4. He's taken to air boxing while singing. Yeah, I don't really know what else to say about that.

Wishes

Here are a list of things that I wish I could do:

1. Say the word mo-fo without giggling afterwards and sounding like the suburban white girl that I am.
2. Say the word "ghetto" without sounding like Elvis("..in the ghettooooo...")
3. Slap H. upside the head through messenger
4. Zap the batteries of any idiot on the c-train who listens to their music at such a volume that I am able to make out the lyrics from halfway down the car. It's never even good music either. Bad heavy metal, rap or dance music.
5. Put up a sign in the front window of the car saying "YOU CAN'T MULTI-TASK!! GET OFF YOUR FREAKIN' CELL!!!" for the driver in front that is driving erraticaly while holding the cell in one hand to their ear and GESTURING with the other. Hmmmm, 2 hands off the wheel=no hands on the wheel.

So pigs have yet to fly. My package yesterday was my certificate from SAIT. Ah well, it's good to have hope.

Whoops, It's Been Awhile!

Hello, my adoring public that has been waiting feverishly for the next post(hey, you have your delusions, I have mine). Anywho, a fair bit has happened and not happened. I decided not to go to Mexico in July(long story I don't feel like getting into) and went to Yellowknife instead to visit a friend. It's very beautiful and all but unless you're into camping and fishing, a week is just enough time to see pretty much everything. I did have a lot of fun and I can now say that I've been to "The North".

I found a new apartment(again long story). Very excited and nervous. I'll be very relieved once everything is done and I'm moved. I'm moving one community over and will be in a two level so will have some seperation between the bedrooms and living areas. I'm also way too excited about having a dishwasher and possibly a double sink!!

I'm going to start encouraging potty training once we're settled into the new place. Should be oodles of fun. I am totally prepared to bribe if that's what it takes.

I should really be packing right now, but I'm procrastinating. I blame the heat personally. I told H that I would move down to Mexico if he could promise me a pool and air conditioning. He said it could be arranged. I'm pretty sure he was joking. Ooooo, I have a package waiting for me at the post office. Have absolutely no idea what it is as I haven't ordered anything lately. There's that overly optimistic part of me that secretly hopes that H sent me something as a surprise but I'm pretty sure pigs will fly before that happens.
