Liam the Builder, January 11

Today Liam was in his glory, almost. He went with Mark to PPAC to see the Bob the Builder live stage show. He was so excited all day looking forward to the big event. Most of the morning was spend speculating as to who would be in the show, "Bob will be there, and Wendy. Do you think Tumbler will be there? I don't think Farmer Pickles will." The one-sided conversation lasted hours.

They made it to the show in one piece, although Liam realized halfway there he didn't bring his tools with him. How was he going to help Bob without his tools? Mark said when Bob took the stage the collective gasp from the kids was palpable. Liam was in awe, kneeling on his seat and smiling with excitement.

Apparently the entire show it took everything Liam had to stay in his seat. He kept turning to Mark and saying, "Daddy, you stay here, I'm going up there to help Bob. He needs my help."

He brought home a huge smile, a hard hat, and foam tools on a tool belt. The picture today shows Liam, all business, looking diligently around the house for something to fix.
