As I was getting ready Seamus is turning on and off my lamps. They have pull chains on them which (like my white couches) seemed like an awfully great idea before we had kids. One lamp is hooked to the light switch one doesn't. He went to the lamp not hooked to the switch and was turning it on and off, on and off. He nearly knocked it over and was being a real nudge. I told him to take off so he just went to the other lamp. After trying to turn it on many times with no luck he said "mom, this lamp needs new batteries".
Anyway, I got the kids fed, Ger bathed them and they were all in bed reading a book when I left. I had a great time. The woman at the party where all mom's of Liam's classmates. I have to say that he has a great group of classmates and I really like almost all of them moms. I haven't met all of the dads but I like the dads I met too. I think we are spoiled because I know this won't be the case when we get to public school. This group of moms are among my absolute favorites. Although Maggie couldn't make it and that would have been even more fun. They are a great group of funny, smart, reasonable moms who are so supportive of each other and of everyone's children. It's so nice and I'm sorry Liam' time at Holy Infant is coming to an end. I hope the change isn't a huge shock for him.
We had a blast last night but of course when I got home Liam was still up. Seamus would have been too but I intentionally didn't nap him so he fell asleep during the book. When I came in I said to Liam "Why are you still up?" He points to Ger and said "HE let me" as though he was desperate for bed and Ger just wouldn't let him go.
They were watching "Man vs. Wild", the one with Will Farrell in it. At one point both men stopped to pee in the snow. Farrell of course makes a joke about the cold and said "I can't even find my penis". Liam was like "What's a PENIS?" So I told him it was the technical name for that part of his body and what we SHOULD be calling in. In fact what we WOULD be calling it if we weren't so immature.
He thinks a bit and says "Oh I wonder if I ever lost my peanit. I didn't know you can lose your peanit. " You can see the stress mounting at the thought that he could go looking for it and it just wouldn't be there. He asked who would help him look for his "peanit" and under what conditions one might lose it. I told him that the guy was just making a joke about the cold. And Liam nods his head and said "Ohhhhh yeah shrinkage".
Today was a slow day up. I didn't sleep well and it's all dark outside, just begging you to stay in bed. Seamus was up at 5 and was hungry. He kept trying to get Ger up but he wasn't getting up that early. So Seamus got out of bed and laid in the dog bed for a bit, falling asleep for another half hour. Liam eventually woke up and we all piled in his bed a bit. He doesn't like waking up and is often cranky. Bed Seamus climbing in bed with him and snuggled him and then held both sides of his face and kissed him and said "time to get up my brudda". He has a way of making Liam really happy. He just can't stay crabby with Seamus around. We cuddled in bed a while, not minding too much that we were making ourselves very late for school. Sometimes it's just better to keep the cuddle a bit longer.
So Liam is at school. We got our snack for baseball tomorrow and are just about to go get the big man again.
