"No, Mine!"


When we got back from South Carolina, Jon surprised Liam with his favorite thing on the planet right now--a toy lawn mower. Now, I have to admit this lawn mower is pretty impressive. It has balls that spin around when he's "mowing," songs that play, and the sound effects of a real mower. And all these bells and whistles are extremely loud. I think they may be, in fact, louder than a real lawn mower. No bother, though, because Liam loves his new toy. So on Monday night when it was time for dinner (and a break from the noise), I took the lawn mower from Liam and said, "It's time to eat, but you can play with it after dinner." Well, that was absolutely no consolation to our little one. In fact, it was the catalyst to Liam stringing together his first two words--"No, mine!" Okay, then. Steadily we march towards the terrible two's.
