Jamie and Liam Chew's Blog: 2009-09-02

2009-09-02 24:00 (Kristen) The boys were up early this morning, and I think that Grammie fed them something for breakfast. Jamie was very excited about going to the mall to play in the playpark there, and the boys happily did that after some lunch in the foodcourt. They played for about an hour and a half, I guess, and refueled with water and Timbits (Auntie Jen and I had coffee). John was running around doing this and that, and picked us up on the way back home around when school let out for the day. We played at home, and the boys particularly liked Grammie's hammock in the back yard. Both boys spent a good deal of time in it today, asking someone or another to swing them back and forth in it. They did their usual things, some homework, and my dad came by to give Liam his birthday present. Dinner was with Jen, Grammie, Anna, and Becky (Owen had tae kwan do, and homework at home with his dad), and Liam had a great time colouring purple princesses that Becky drew for him. He also copied out his name, after Bcky wrote it down for him. The first time! Yay! The boys played together a good deal, and it's so funny to see how closely Liam imitates Jamie. He parrots what Jamie says, laughs when he does, and never takes his eyes off his brother. Jamie, for his part, takes it all in his stride and goodnaturedly, as he has a willing and able playmate and audience for whatever goofiness he has planned. The boys fell asleep instantly, surprising my mom and I, until we looked at the time and realized that it was 10:30. No wonder!
