Liam Goes to Work

I have posted previously how Liam watches very closely what Logan puts on to go to work everyday. Well, he has taken it one step further, and now Liam wants to be even more like Daddy and go to work himself.

The other day I was in the kitchen and I heard Liam fumbling around in our closet. Usually this means he is finding shoes to walk in, but today was different. He was reaching as high as he could to grab one of Logan's ties. He wrapped it around his neck and said "Liam go to work."

I said, "Oh, is Liam going to work? Ok, well bye-bye. Have a good day!" He walked out of the room, waved goodbye to my Mom and said, "Bye-bye, Mimi. See you later!" Mimi said, "where are you going?" As if we didn't know, he replied, "Liam go to work."

I wondered what he would do. He walked all the way to the garage door and sat down because it was locked. (All outside doors stayed locked these days!)
Maybe he decided this specific tie just wasn't right for him, because we went through this same routine with 4 different ties, except he started adding goodbye kisses! It just melted my heart. He wants to be just like his Daddy!

"Do you bite your thumb at us, sir?"

"No, sir, I do not bite my thumb at you, sir, but I do bite my thumb, sir."


So, Liam the Dinosaur was not quite AS happy with his costume on the actual Halloween night as he was a few days before! But he was a good sport.

Basically he just hung out around the house and watched all the kids come to the door at Mimi and PaPaw's house. Some he would watch from a distance, and some he would want to see up close. There were a few scary costumes that made him cry. He would rush to Logan and Logan would pick him up and say "Daddy's got you." Then every time Liam was unsure of a kid's mask or costume, he would run to Logan and say, "Daddy got you."


One little fairy princess was so cute, I guess Liam wanted to join her. He ran out the door into the dark to follow her. Logan raced after him and they followed the cute little girl to the next house. Liam even got a treat out of his trip! He didn't say "Trick or Treat", but he did say "thank you" to the nice neighbors. They gave him a Frankenstein sucker!

We unwrapped it, stripped him down, and told him he could eat it. After the first taste he squealed and said, "oooooooo!"



He had a grand time with it. Of course, he got all sticky. He crinkled up his nose as he looked at his hands and said, "Dirty, messy!"



But, it was well worth the mess. He loved it, and we loved sharing the evening with our sweet boy!
