This occured in early October 2009.
Liam has always been told that coffee, almonds, and wine are for big people. Liam will have to wait till he is older to have them.
The night before Liam's 2 year checkup, mommy was prepping him and describing all the different things that is going to happen at his appointment the next day.
Mommy told him "we can also ask the doctor if it is okay now for Liam to try some almonds. If the doctors says 'yes' then Liam can have them".
Liam replies "Doctors says Liam can have coffee"

Duh!
This also happened in early December 2009.
Elisa stopped by with Davis one evening and was playing with Liam. Mommy told Liam "take Elisa to see your Christmas tree in the family room".
Liam, being in his automatic-no stage of course refused.
Elisa tries and says "please, Liam, take me to see your Christmas. I don't know how"
(meaning I don't know the way to the family room).
Liam looks at Elisa, pointed at his legs and says "these are legs, you walk".
Thank goodness we have friends with great sense of humor.

Liam is mad
This happened early December 2009 but we want to capture it so we don't forget.
One morning Liam woke up earlier than usual. Daddy was out front shoveling and mommy was in the basement working out so no one heard him for a few minutes. By the time mommy got to him, he was crying and upset.
Later that morning, Liam is at his grandparents' playing and pretending to have a phone conversation with Grandpa (dada).
Dada: "Hello Liam, are you happy today?"
Liam: "no"
Dada (a little concerned): "no? why not?"
Liam: "Mommy made Liam mad"
Dada: "why?"
Liam: "Daddy out shoveling, mommy exercising"
=============
Liam was playing in the water after his bath and refused to come out. After 15 minutes, Mommy said "Liam, mommy is going to count to 3. If you don't get out by then, mommy is going to be mad".
Liam looks at mommy and says "1 2 3, Liam is mad now" and makes a pretend mad face.
It's it quite difficult to get upset at a child when he just made you fall on the floor laughing.

Impish Liam
1/24/2010: For fear of allergies, we are waiting till after Liam turns 3 to introduce him to peanut products. So far, he has been very agreeable and settles for just smelling the peanut product. But this does not mean he doesn't try to get a taste of it via trickery.
Mommy had some peanut butter out during dinner and put some on her rice.
Liam sees this and instead of asking for the peanut butter, he casually says "Liam wants mommy's rice" even though he has his own bowl of rice in front of him.
I am a little worried that Liam will out-smart/trick us in a couple of years...
1/25/2010: Liam was drinking chocolate milk with his dinner. Since he was doing more drinking than eating, mommy told him "Okay, no more milk until you take 3 bites of fish". Liam takes 1 bite of fish and tells mommy "mama go wash dishes".
"why?" asked mommy. This is odd as he always wants mommy to keep him company.
Liam doesn't answer (he hasn't quite figure out how to answer why questions).
Then it dawned on mommy - "Liam, do you want me to go do dishes so you can sneak more drinks of chocolate milk?"
Liams smiles sheepishly and says "yes".
Are 28 months olds suppose to be attempting these types of tricks already?

Liam Says and Does
Hi Everyone,
As Liam continues to grow, the things he says and does never ceases to amaze us. Using this blog will allow us to both capture those moments for ourselves and share them with those of you who wish to have a window into his life. At this point we aren't expecting to post photos or videos, but just capture in words the things he says and does.
