How Alarming!

Boofs, farts, toots, breaking wind, passing gas, cutting the cheese, flatulence. Call them what you will but Liam now calls them "my alarm".

I want fries with that


Liam has an interesting appetite sometimes. Back in June we went to the EARLY morning balloon launch taking place during Rochesterfest. This is the second year we've attended and we've enjoyed it very much...that's probably because we aren't awake enough to realize what we are doing. Did I mention it was EARLY?!?
After the balloons take off we like to go to a restaurant for breakfast before we head home to go back to bed. We talked to Liam about what we might have...he mentioned pancakes and applesauce (something he has often at day care) and I'm thinking that sounds pretty good. But then he mentions that he wants macaroni and fries and ketchup. We stall the way parents do and mention that we aren't sure this restaurant has that. Walking to the restaurant we are trying to distract him from the whole macaroni and fries and ketchup idea by talking up pancakes or french toast. The minute he sees the hostess who is going to seat us he says (in the breathless way little kids talk sometimes), "I want macaroni and fries and ketchup". Luckily, he is so cute that they readily agreed to make him what he wanted to eat at 7:30 a.m. After breakfast is over and we are driving home all of a sudden we hear from the back seat, "I want pancakes and applesauce!"
