waiting to go east

Due to bad weather and cancelled flights, our east-coast traveling plans have been put on hold until tomorrow. Luckily, Liam is amusing us here at home. Tonight, he announced that he was going to work. Then he took the tape and proceeded to put it all over the furniture so that "the flies would get stuck and the spiders would come eat them." He was very proud of himself and admitted that he was working very hard. Lastly, he announced that "working is really good for the brain." (I think he was comparing to TV which I had told him was very bad for the brain). Now we're off to bed and hope our flight is on time tomorrow.

The other night, Erik was being a racer bunny at bedtime. Finally, I said something angrily to him. Liam then told me in a very patient voice: "mommy, you can't get mad at Erik, he just wants to be up and play". hmm... what do you say to that? He was right too.

Same thing yesterday when Erik was trying to open the oven as I was cooking. Finally, I got really annoyed and snapped at him. Liam then got very upset with me and told me "stop yelling at Erik, he'll get scared."

Also yesterday Liam asked me to "quiet down a bit so he could play in peace and quiet." And you know what? he actually had a point.
