October 19-20

Last night I was getting Liam dressed for bed after his bath. I told him how tall he was getting. He smiled and told me, "I can't wait to be big and tall"
Me: "Why? Do you want to be a big boy?"
Liam: "I want to be big and tall so I can make brownies everyday."
Me: "You want to be a big boy so you can make brownies?"
Liam: "Yup." After giving me a look that can only be described as what else is there??


Today I asked Liam to pick up the recycling bucket from the front yard for me as I was pulling the trash barrels. We were running a little behind on our way to storytime so I was hoping to get moving quickly. When Liam just stood there, deer in headlights look on that face I asked a second time. Very quietly, just audible over the sound of wheels on the driveway I hear, "no"
Me: "Excuse me???"
Liam: "I was just testing you. Yeah, I was just testing and stuff..." He trailed off in his rush to grab the recycling bin.
