This first week has been all about getting to know each other.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So what has Liam learned about G\u2019ma?<\/p>\n

She likes to play with me and help me fix my toys when they won\u2019t work.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

She thinks I\u2019m really funny when I get messy eating spaghetti.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

G\u2019ma also likes playing in the dirt. At first I wasn\u2019t sure why. It was\u2026.dirty.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

She gave me a stick so I could dig in the dirt. Hmmm<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After a while I got the hang of being dirty. I threw the dirt in the air\u2026.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And I put the dirt in the bucket\u2026.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And when I couldn\u2019t take being dirty any more she showed me how to \u201cbrush it off\u201d.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now I know why she likes to play in the dirt. It is fun\u2026.and it freaks Daddy out when I\u2019m dirty\u2026.that could be part of it too.<\/p>\n

So far, G\u2019ma Wendy is Okay.<\/p>\n

What has G\u2019ma learned about Liam??? He is a sweet sweet boy.<\/p>\n
