My Little Mouse

Liam asked me to cut a piece of cheese for him yesterday. He carefully pulled the cheese from the fridge and lugged it my way. Lugged being the operative word because we buy the HUGE hunk of Tillamook cheddar cheese from Costco.

My hands were busy with something else so I asked him to wait a moment. Apparently I was asking too much of him because when I turned around he was trying to open the package himself...with his teeth. They certainly package that cheese well because with all the biting Liam did, amazingly there were no punctures in the plastic!





This story is especially funny considering that when Will brought home a box of powdered doughnuts about two weeks ago Liam tried to open them, and when he couldn't open the box, he tried to get at the doughnuts by licking the plastic window on the box.

Happy Halloween 2008



This year we took our cue from Liam who is SO into Buzz Lightyear. I don't think anything else was even considered as a costume. Will was Woody and I was Bo Peep keeping with the Toy Story theme.



Even though I only had to make my costume and Will's, I was sewing up to the last minute. Thankfully, I got a great deal ($10) online for Liam's. And to top it all off, I got a wig this year! I've wanted a wig for forever.

We actually went trick or treating this year with Liam. It was slow going, and I don't think Liam really grasped the concept that every house was handing out candy. (It was a little traumatic when he realized we had to give some of our candy away too.) He was very social though and tried to go into every house we stopped at. For a short visit, no doubt. I think he'd even planned a short message and decided to leave with the parting words, "Is there anything we can do for you?"
