Dec. 28th.

Today was my last day of winter school before the break. Nice to be off now. Liam was just playing with Ai and his toys all day today. Meg and Ai went out for massages so Liam and I hung out. Later at night Meg's aunt came over for dinner. Pics 1-4: 1. Telling us to chase him around. (Bit of black and white) 2. Finally got him to sleep for a nap around 2:30. 3. Aunt Chizuru, Ai, and Liam. 4. Having some rice or playing with the scoop. (Again hit it with the B&W) Off to Bibai for the New Year, will update again when back.

Dec. 21st.

Meg said that today Liam was just going crazy. Running all over the place and then went outside but wouldn't walk so Meg had to carry him. Saying 'No' a lot now when he doesn't want someone to do something. Better put a stop to that soon. Pics 1-4: 1. Sitting down on the job Liam? 2. Relaxing. 3. Playing around on the covers for our bed. 4. Why not sit on the ball too?
