Oh, dear, is it May already?

Hi Everyone--

I have a feeling this blogging thing is only going to get worse-- we fly back to Germany tomorrow and I have to hit the ground running. Turning in my application to write my thesis, actually writing the thesis, getting ready to move to the motherland, etc, etc, ad nauseum.

But perhaps this can be a place to record the Liam-ness of Liam.

Today, while walking back to apartment from Sue and Daria's:

Liam: owah mouth.
Mama: oh no! We better brush your teeth.
Liam: owah alligator.
Mama: owah alligator? (he also said this another time in the past couple of days...)
Liam: Alligator crying.
Mama: oh no! What can we do to make the alligator feel better?
Liam: (this  kind of open question is not suitable for toddlers)
Mama: does he need a hug?
Liam: yes!
HUG
Mama: does he need a kiss?
Liam: yes!
KISS
Liam: Alligator crying!
Mama: We better give him a hug and kiss.
HUG KISS
(repeat 10 times)
Liam: Elephant crying!
HUG KISS
Liam: Camel crying!
HUG KISS

etc etc etc

(pictures in a couple of days) (but not of any alligators crying)
