Yesterday we popped down to Victoria Square for the 'Big Toddle' event. Barnardos (the children's charity) was doing a family fun day with face painting, balloon animals and various other children related events. We quickly registered and then head up to Frankie and Benny's for lunch. We rarely eat out - especially with Liam. We're always a little afraid of how he'll act. Happy to report he was fairly well behaved. He was a little greedy with his adult sized pizza and only shared a slice with Ollie when his ice cream arrived. He has a ferocious appetite and eats bigger portions than me! After lunch we 'toddled' around the Big Toddle walk to the face painting station. We passed Domer the Dinosaur, but Liam was a little afraid and didn't want to get his photo taken. Liam decided (with some help from me) to go with a tiger.

Tiger Boy- Liam's first face painting
We had a fairly fun filled weekend despite the weather being disappointing. Ollie took Liam swimming on Saturday morning and he didn't want to leave the pool. We had to coax him out with promises of bananas and chocolate. He had a great big nap and certainly worked up a big appetite for my pasta with homemade cheese sauce followed by Ben and Jerry's Phish Food frozen yogurt in a cone.

The artist was so lovely and really patient with Liam. He was pretty close to perfect, allowing her to paint all over his wee face.

Liam kept licking the face paint.


He was a little cautious when he first saw the finished face looking at himself back in the mirror.
But he soon thought it was the best thing ever.
