Wow..I am not a blogger that is for certain. I apologize for not keeping up with the little boy's page. He has certainly grown since out last visit. He's more cerebral and verbose than athletic though. Regardless of milestones, he is the joy of my (and my wife's) life. He has become quite a little man with very strong opinions of how just about everything should be done. He was essentially potty trained about 6 months ago, but continues to request a diaper when he has a poo on deck. Then he proceeds to request 'privacy'..."Daddy, go away, I need privacy". So we let him hang by himself in the family room until such a time when he decides to rejoin the toddler rat-race. We had a slight potty training fiasco. We had informed Liam that after his 'last package' of diapers was finished he would have to use his potty. Liam was seemingly very excited about this and kept telling everyone' when I use my last diaper, then it will be time to use the big potty". The fateful day came and when he advertised that he needed to make a poop he was very resistant to using the potty. After 4-5 false starts he finally raced into my office and yelled, "I have to poop, I have to Poop!!". We went into the bathroom and he sat down and then when he was about to deliver...he yelled 'I'm freaking out Daddy' and then jumped up and started crying hysterically...needless to say I found 'one more diaper' and 1 month later we're still using a diaper and needing privacy.
