Friday Five!

Here's my cheater list of New Things Liam is Doing/Attached to this Week:

1. He loves Winnie the Pooh & has learned several new words from him! He knows wind, leaves, recognizes and says hat more often, house, owl and knows all the characters.
2. He finally warmed up to his NASCAR car this week! We have been bringing it inside the house to have him get used to it but I think that backfired cause he would only get in and then hop right out. As soon as I brought it out front he was ALL OVER IT. When he is actually using the steering wheel, he does it one-handed with the other arm leaning on his window - too cute. He gets the brightest smile on his face and just turns towards me and grins! Most of the time though he does it without holding on to the steering wheel so we are going to have to work on that instead of just running into things.
3. He loves to cuddle on the couch before bedtime and insists that we both join him. We get hugs and kisses while watching some Winnie the Pooh.
4. He doesn't really seem to mind when Dada goes to work because he really enjoys saying bye-bye but definitely more throughly enjoys saying HI DADA when he gets home!
5. He has to sleep with a few Winnie the Pooh books, his Pooh phone, his Pooh dressed up in a Tigger costume animal & his constellation Turtle. If he's missing any of these things, he will not go to bed quietly.

As a side note, Molly didn't make it last night. And of course, it's upsetting me because I named her. And it's my own damn fault. And yes, Liam even called her "Olly". She passed while he was being put down last night & I heard Matias flush the toilet, knowing that our Molly hadn't made it. She really was a great fish, as dorky as that sounds. She would come right up to the glass and interact with Liam every single time he was in the room. When he managed to get his little hands in the tank, she would swim right up & allow him to touch her (yes, I know she was probably looking for food, but HE didn't know that) and that was special for him. Yes, he did ask where Olly was when he was going down for his nap & I had to tell him (with a kiss to the head) that she had gone to play with some other fish & told us to tell him that she missed him already.

Molly is the big orange one swimming in the back with her best bud the Guppy. Methinks we will have to get best bud the Guppy, a new best bud. ASAP.
