Part One:
Liam, who is extremely cranky is sitting at the dinner table with me and Matt as we eat our dinner. Liam begins to throw things at me (such as the Evil Weeble, his paci, and eventually his socks). After he throws them at me he waves goodbye to them. Certainly, I want to encourage this type of behavior so I begin throwing whatever he throws at me back at him and waving goodbye myself. This goes on and on until the object in question hits the floor, at which point we both wave goodbye to said object, Liam finds another object, and the game begins again. The game ended with a baby sock in my meatloaf sauce. Mmmm.
Part Two:
After the goodbye game is over Liam begins to search around him on the table for something with which to occupy his attention. He finds small, rock-hard pieces of monterrey jack cheese leftover from his dinner. He begins putting these in his mouth, one by one, making contorted faces that would rival those of any overpaid Hollywood actor. Finally–deciding that he’s not getting enough attention from me or from Matt for his stellar facial performance–he promptly gags and proceeds to throw up. He follows this with the classic ‘swirlie’ in the vomit as Matt races to find something to clean his tray.
Good times.
