Firsts & Lasts

We went to our first movie without Liam over the weekend. We - I - chose to see "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Pt.2" because I've been waiting to see this movie since November.
It was glorious. The movie was the perfect ending to the series, which might very well be the best film franchise in recent history. I will miss Harry, Hermione, Ron and the rest of them but am comforted by the fact that my child will also be able to enjoy the books and the films, and we will enjoy them together. I hope that he asks me to read Harry Potter to him; I think it will be a really fun experience for both of us.

Many people posted this quote on Facebook over the weekend. While I enjoy both series, I have to throw my hat in with the Boy Who Lived.

Harry Potter is all about confronting fears, finding inner strength and doing what is right in the face of adversity... Twilight is about how important it is to have a boyfriend.

Agreed.

Fun Friday: July 15th edition

First we went to Stroller Strides.

Liam (on right) and his friend Cody finally got to play at the end of class,

because both were awake and happy.

Then we went on Liam's first carousel ride. 

He was destined to enjoy it, 

since he loves the feeling of a breeze on his face.

That's pretty much it.

No major meltdowns.

Just a lovely day.

It was pretty awesome.

It's all about the small victories.
