Word of the Day...

"VAMPIRATES" - a cross between a vampire and a pirate, or just Maya's understanding of the word "vampire". I love it!!

"Awesome."

A couple of days ago, I had the brilliant idea to move the kids' little table and two chairs down into our kitchen. I thought the novelty of having a new place to sit that's "just theirs" would suddenly inspire them to sit through an entire meal or at least long enough to eat what was on their plates. Wrong!

Tonight, Liam was having a ball wearing Maya's pink, heart-shaped, princess sunglasses, and he ended up wearing them during dinner. Well, he repeatedly got up from the table, and Will repeatedly warned him to sit down or he would have to go to time-out. Finally, after about the fifth warning, Will got up from the table, marched over to the sink to retrieve the washcloth, and went over to Liam to wash his hands. He had enough. As he was wiping Liam up, he explained that he was going to time-out because he would not stay in his chair. In response to the lecture, Liam calmly mutters, "Awesome." Bwahhahahahahaa.... I thought I was going to bust a gut, trying to hold in the laughter! Will managed to keep a straight face and walked him over to time-out, where he sat, completely unphased, for his full minute. Oh. My. Word. Don't forget, this entire time, he was still sporting the pink princess sunglasses! This kid.... I don't even know what to say about him, except, WE ARE IN TROUBLE! He has class clown written all over him!

ps... the picture was actually taken in November. This was "back-blogged/dated", so the pic is actually from the future! Notice that he is back at the big table and strapped into his high chair??
