It appears that Liam has a particular apptitude for cleaning.

On Saturday, while having lunch, he managed to empty some crisps over the floor. Then after finishing the rest of his lunch, Gemma watched him stand up and walk across the room to where the toy vacuum cleaner was lying.

Liam then brought it back to where the crisps were lying on the floor and tried to hoover them all up. It was really fun to watch him being all domesticated. He spent a few minutes moving the cleaner forward and backward over the messy area.

Then he noticed us watching him, and he gave us the biggest grin, with the look of “aren’t I a cleverboy!”

Liam does seem to be a child who likes to keep (some) things tidy. He will quite regularly bring a small piece of paper or something that he has found on the floor and give it to us to put in the bin.

Another time, Liam picked up our cordless telephone and tried to place it back in the cradle, because I’d left it lying around. Granted he needed a little guidance to get it set in the cradle, but it was the fact that he’d picked it up by himself and put it back in a place on the other side of the room. He really does take notice of everything, and doesn’t miss a thing!

I doubt this will last!

I must apologise about the severe lack of posts lately, as things have been very busy.

New business ventures and family life are taking precedence over my blog, which I hope to rectify at some point in the near future.

I have a few updates to post, but it is finding the time to sit down and write it all, and get the photos to go with them!

Until such time I ask you for your patience for the next update!
