Dinner at Memere's, January 24

Today we went to my Mother-in-Law's for dinner. Liam and Connor were in their element. There aren't many "no"s at Memere's house. From the moment we arrive Liam gets down to business. Takes the required walk around the apartment, making sure everything is as he left it. Connor prefers a more organic approach, he just rushes up to the first thing that looks interesting and heads to the next as soon as he loses interest; repeat as needed.

Time to sit down to dinner and Liam isn't sure he wants to leave the books, puzzles, and crayons behind. He finally decides to join us when his choice is boiled down to dinner or time out. Connor meanwhile has been happily seated since the moment the word "dinner" was uttered. He's a bit of a foodie already.

Today's picture captures just a few of the reasons Liam loves these visits so much. Liam is enjoying a piece of Jello cake topped with Cool Whip or "Whipped Cream Pie" as Liam was calling it. No seat necessary, he prefers to eat while standing. You never know when you'll have to drop everything and run. You'll also notice the Bob the Builder DVD playing in the background. Four adults in the room, but we've got Bob on TV. No question who rules the roost at Memere's house :).
