A Young Love Affair





Liam has recently started to call Paige "Yi-Ya". In fact, he calls Paige's entire family (Aunt Melida, Paige, and the real YiYi--Elijah) "Yi-Ya". But, truth be told, his most devout affection is for Paige. Liam grabbed an old antique doll while at Grandma Olsen's house yesterday and carried it with him wherever he went. Every now and then I'd catch him talking to the inanimate plaything, calling her "YiYi" and placing her on the pushcar he usually rides with Paige. When Liam is lucky enough to behold the real thing, the two of them reject all notions of parallel play and interact like grown-up toddlers. The other day we found them playing "Ring Around a Rosies" all by themselves.

I think Liam looks more and more like you. Did you go to Hawaii?? That's fun! I'm glad you like the table and good luck with your search, it's tough because a kitchen table can be such a statement! I ended up having to spend a little more then I planned but I couldn't find anything else close to this one and I love it so much! Keep the posts coming!
