After using the 10-second timer function on the camera to take a family photo for Owen's preschool Open House, Liam took a whole series of pics of himself using the timer. This is one of the few that actually had a hint of a smile. In most of them it appears as though he is practicing his cool, serious look. My big 3rd grader. I see the long, lanky legs and the not-quite-a-boy face. This could not be the same boy I used to wrap up so tightly in a blanket like a burrito at night. He is quite the proud big brother imparting all of his 3rd grade wisdom to his Kindergartner sister. Each morning on the way to school he can be heard explaining all kinds of things about school to Natalie. Most of his advice ends with, "Don't worry, you'll get used to it after a few days." Ahh, I love hearing the advice doled out by someone other than myself. The other day he told her very seriously, "Natalie, if you want to be good at something you have to practice A LOT. Do you think I always played baseball this good? No! I've been practicing for, like, 8 years!"
