Random Musings of a Toddler

• At church Sunday Liam, always the gregarious one, walked up to an elderly gentleman with whom he was not acquainted, gave him a big smile, pointed at him and warmly greeted him with "Hi some man!"

• Also at church on Sunday, Liam walked with us to the front of the sanctuary as we prepared to take Communion by intinction. As I tore off the little piece or bread and prepared to dip it into the grape juice, Liam soberly watched the ceremony. Any other time this would have been a mere piece of bread to Liam, but the solemnity and the silence surrounding the holy sacrament prompted Liam to loudly request in a sweet voice that echoed through the sactuary, "More Muffin."

• Liam's favorite bedtime delay tactic is a song request: "Daddy, sing song. Jesus Loves Me This Rhino."
