Liam is 8!

Liam is finally 8!

He's been thinking and planning for it for a while now -- starting with the list of people he wanted at his birthday party.  For the last few weeks, he would come to my side with his list and say

"my turn talk"

"What do you want to talk about?"

"My pahty...here's my list"

So the day before his birthday, I hear him say to Pete first thing in the morning, "me 8?"

"No Liam you're still 7, tomorrow you are 8"

Saturday dawned to Liam standing by my bedside, poking me, proclaiming "me 8! my pahhhty today!"

And what a party! At Safari Run (where they've cracked the code on upscale Chucky Cheese)

Here is the Safari Cake that we had -- that'd be Liam in the middle wielding a whip, which he desperately wants so he can be the real life "indy" of indiana jones fame.

Much fun was had by all. He was totally red in the face from running around so much in the play structure and up and down the running track.

 

Does it get any better than this?
