Saturday Conversations

So Liam and I were out running some errands today for a bit.  I had to swing through the pharmacy drive-thru for my birth control pills.  Liam asked "Is that our food?", as we were also picking up lunch. I said "No, it's Mommy's medicine". (I should have fibbed, but I couldn't think fast enough!)  He asked "Are you sick?"  I said no.  He asked "Why do you need medicine then?"  Uh.... so I said "They are birth control pills so Mommy doesn't get pregnant again".   He asked "Why?" (his favorite question). I  said "Because there aren't going to be any more babies".   He asked "Why?"  I said "Don't you think there are enough kids in our family?"   He thought exactly a half-second, and said "Yes, yes there are".

Well.  I'm glad we're ALL in agreement on that matter then!

After that we went to Kohl's so I could make a return, and upon walking in, he asked "What Target is THIS?"  Bahaha.  Indeed.

Here he is playing with Olive.  I have no idea what they were doing!  He means well with the babies, but more often than not we are telling him to be gentle and to NOT head-butt them, etc.  He tries to "cuddle" with them, but he's just too rough most of the time and not always very considerate or simply coordinated!  Like an almost 3-year-old boy, I suppose.

D leaves tomorrow for a 5-day work trip to Vegas (lucky bastard). I have help cobbled together consisting of my MIL and my best friend coming over a couple nights at bed/bath time for assistance.
Let's hope Liam is more in Helpful mode than Tantrum mode. It's really a crapshoot of what we're going to get, and I'm going to need all the help I can get!
