Friday Fun.

As I'm typing this, Liam has chosen to take advantage of the fact that Abbi Kate left the door open to the cabinet containing our DVD's (or if you're Abbi Kate: DBD's) and is doing a good job of scattering them around the living room floor. When he discovers something, like the door being opened in this case, he does this little chuckle, smiles, and squints his eyes at you. It's one of his most recognizable "Shawn looks" and oh so funny. It's also not very clever in the grand scheme of things, because it's obvious he's about to get into something. Even so, I do appreciate the warning.

Abbi Kate can't seem to understand why I would allow him to scatter the "DBD's" and make a mess.(Let's ignore the fact that there are blankets and toys scattered around us from the tea party she just hosted.) I try to explain that he's enjoying himself, but that doesn't compute. Of course, who can blame her? Chances are, if she were to do the same, I'd ask her to stop. She doesn't remember that when she was Liam's age, I'd let her do the same. On a related note, why is it that I even bother buying toys?

And, since I can't post a blog entry without also posting a picture....



I'd like to say, for the record, that while most of the time they enjoy playing and entertaining each other, both Liam and Abbi Kate can often be found smiling when the other one is crying.
