2 Yr Old Catch Phrases & Hockey update

Just a note on how well Natalie is speaking these days, and putting words together. It is very interesting to hear her most-used phrases. She apparently learned these out of necessity, because it is truly amazing how many times she has put them to use. Top 3 are:
#1: I'm stuck!! (And she is always telling the truth. Heard this one (loudly) about 30 minutes after she went to bed the other night, and sure enough, her entire leg was stuck in between slats of the crib).

#2: I bumped head!!

#3: I fell down!!

#4: I dropped it! (As in, "I dropped it! The pink one!" meaning the pacifier is out of the crib. No rude comments necessary from anti-pacifists who think she shouldn't have one anyway, please).

#5: Liam, where are you??

Other frequent phrases are "Poo poo coming!", "I yuv you" and "Goalie gone!" (while watching hockey with daddy, and the goalie leaves the ice).

Which brings me to another happy update: Liam took to the ice with Jim today for the second time with no tears! I can't describe how happy this makes Jim. Natalie and I went to watch, and while I must say there is not much...if any...movement of the feet, he was using his hockey stick to hit pucks, and the best part of all is that he was SMILING the whole time, even when he fell (thank God for padded hockey pants). It is a special moment in Liam's history.
