365: March 22-28

Texas seemingly forgot it was Spring this week, and it's been much cooler and windy. That, along with the fact that Liam has had a runny/congested nose this week, is why we've spent a lot of time indoors. We did some spring/Easter crafting, and I introduced Liam to markers. Of course he loves them and now regular colors simply will not do. I'm hoping a fresh box in his Easter basket changes his mind. I already miss the simplicity of crayons. I also introduced Liam to glue. I didn't have any glue sticks, so I went straight for the bottle. The kid is not yet ready for glue. Thankfully, though, he usually didn't realize that he had to squeeze to get glue out, so glue messes were kept to a minimum. He says glue really cutely, though, like "gyu." This was also the week Liam decided to start climbing up and into his high chair monkey style. Of course, the first time he did it my back was turned. I was quite surprised to see him standing up in it when I turned around. He had never even attempted such a feat before!

March 22: Will and I went to dinner and bowling with friends. Liam was at the church because there was free childcare! It was fun, but I was once again reminded at how horrible I am at bowling. Thankfully, I only go once every few years so it doesn't hurt my self-esteem very often. The picture is of my bowling shoes and Will's bowling shoes. I can't help but think about how many stinky feet have been in those shoes. Will's have probably seen less feet since they're an uncommon size.

March 23: That was the day we went to Hop 'n Hunt at the church. This was taken after we got home. Of course, Liam had to throw some of his eggs on the floor and fall on top of them. It's like the cool new way to play with toys around here.

March 24: I'm pretty sure Will took this one.l. Liam was brushing his teeth after a snack. He hates for me to brush his teeth, but he doesn't do a good enough job on his own. Any tips for making it easier or more fun for him when I brush them?

March 25: Will took this picture in the evening while I was at work (training for my new job which I will be doing from home once I'm comfortable enough doing so). I love Legos. I love it when Liam builds tall towers with them. I'm sure Will helped with this one!

March 26: Sometimes you just need a bath in the middle of the day. Liam was waiting (im)patiently for his when this was taken. Of course, when I took him to the bathroom, he had totally changed his mind about taking a bath. Thankfully, he eventually gave in.

March 27: Liam and markers = love at first sight.

March 28: This was the day I brought out the glue to make a bunny rabbit out of cotton balls. We both ended up with our hands covered in glue and cotton, but I actually did pretty much all of the gluing. Liam was more than happy to keep coloring with markers.
