weekend.

This weekend flew by just like every other but this one was a little different. I swear Liam changed overnight. I can finally understand him, the gibberish he has been speaking for weeks is starting to change. He walked over to the frig and pulled out an apple and turned and said "APPLE", plain as day. Then he also said "THANK YOU", I about fell out of my chair. I have been waiting for him to speak English and the day has finally arrived! He already says the basic stuff, but this was a huge step and I loved hearing his little voice say something different. As a parent you feel like you are on repeat ALL the time, say please, say thank you, what color is that, what does a duck say, please don't climb the bookshelf..... and when those things pay off and they say and do what they are supposed to, it's mind blowing (they really ARE listening) and a very proud moment. Liam now sits in a booster seat at the kitchen table. I think it is the cutest thing to sit across from him and see him so proud of himself as he eats.

On Saturday, we took him to the car wash, of course he slept through the actual wash but was very excited when we got out for them to clean the inside and he watched all the other cars take a "car bath".

On Sunday, I made Liam this smoothie called the Toddler Hidden Veggie Smoothie. He loved it, sucked it right down. It is a struggle to get Liam to eat veggies but he loves to drink water and milk so I thought why not give it a try. Worked like a charm! If your toddler or child or husband does not like veggies this smoothie is worth a try. It's very easy to make!

Liam's proud moment at the table and at the car wash.

Until next time,
