Be quiet!

Okay, this is a funny post.

Liam loves to go to Costco. Yesterday while we were at my mother's he asked me several times, "Go to Costco?" Two of his favorite things in the world can be found there--pizza and blueberries. We HAVE to stop at the food court for pizza, after which a trip to the produce section is in order. We always get a huge, industrial sized (!!) container of blueberries. He eats them through the store and through the checkout line. I always get the strangest looks from people, like they've never seen a kid eating blueberries?

(Note: today he didn't eat too many blueberries since it was sample day at Costco. He had a cream puff, root beer float, hot dog, baked potato, hummus & apple pie. Oh and a push pop and a piece of chicken. So obviously he was stuffed.) :P

Anyhow, we made it to Costco today. We get our pizza and sit down at the table. Next to us is a fellow overwhelmed mom of two small children (it's like a sisterhood, I swear!). One of her kids starts shrieking and throwing a fit...so Liam turns around and shouts, "Be quiet!"

I was so embarrassed.

But then the shrieking kid's mom thought it was funny, so then I did too. And the kids were laughing too. But of course I did have to talk with Liam about rudeness. It's really not appropriate to shout at strangers, even if they are being loud and annoying.

So we're making our way through Costco and Liam was sitting in the open part of the cart while Beckett sat in the baby seat in the front. At Costco they have the two seats in the front for those of us with two little kids. You can still grocery shop without having to pile things around a kid in the open space. But of course Liam still demands to sit there from time to time. Later on he wanted to sit with Beckett, so he says...

"I want to sit next to Beckett."

This morning I was sitting on the bed with Beck. Liam came up to him and started tickling and playing. I used the word "next" repeatedly...so that's where he picked that up! Good memory, Liam.

Last night as we sat in the bathtub he said:

"Wanna sing ABCs mama?"

And we sat in the tub and sang to our little hearts' content.
