Miss Elizabeth has me working on the bike … I am getting too big for it but I am able to ride pretty good.. I am not good outside on hills and steering.. I still say HELP…….. Bike .. Miss Morgan and I are prepping food and I get to eat.. OT is GREAT … FOOD although I am happy with a DING DONG!!! Not that I need what I eat but if they are there in front of me I know how to open them now so I will EAT THEM…. Mum has hid them .. at first thought we were out and kept telling her STORE!!!! But she said she had me covered which means they are somewhere I don’t know.. So I will search until they are found!! My sister is as bad as me on eating them when she is here…. Speech Hilary and I work on clearing up my speech, but I have been a little silly lately and love to make her laugh ... she is like no we have to work and I am like no I am going to do this.. but she ultimately wins a little and then I win a little … :)

Saddle up - prepping for super show and open house … I am working hard learning things for the big show this month.. it is my first show ever and can’t wait to do it … I love my horses… Being on a horse I feel so big. I love going and brushing and helping to get my horse ready.. I also love to help clean up.. I can show you were everything goes in the tack room.. I learn very quickly on things and I love to help.

We have had lots of appt as always ..Had to see Dr Katz at BCH, had our weekly meeting with Hollie … have Music, OT , PT , Speech, Horses, and Dolphins did get canceled.
Dr Katz is always so sweet.. It was Telehealth this month b/c we only go in person when we are in Boston. I see all of my Boston Doctors in October in Person…. I saw a new doctor this month at developmental Peds .. they had me walk up and down the hall and run.. I am normally told no running in the halls… not that I ever choose to run over walking or jumping around…

Had the Dentist today… Daisy didn’t go with me which is different but I had to get X-rays the lady was like stand here and looked and. Was already where I belonged and ready for my picture of my teeth.. I tried to cheese knowing it didn’t work that way , was trying to get her to smile but she just said you don’t have to do that for this picture.. I am like I was being silly lady… BUT some people just don’t get my sarcasm….. its ok.. mummy and daddy laughed… My teeth look good they said.. He did say I had two teeth that are coming in odd and he was going to keep close eye on them to make sure we don’t have to do something to make them not hurt my big teeth… but he said we don’t have to worry about that right now !!!! So I won’t haha… back to eating Ding dongs… obviously I brush good haha..

I love Birthdays!!!! We were supposed to do dinner with Bubba for his birthday but it ended up being late so we didn’t get to get his cake and go meet up.. I was bummed …. But I am still getting him a GI JOE!!!

Aunt Misty flew into town I am so excited it is also her birthday.. We ordered her Birthday cookies to show the Beach where she loves going for her birthday and then Tennessee where she is this year with me!!! I was so excited to have her here..
WE took her to broadway downtown to see Nashville.. Daddy and I went to the Apple Store … we are the tech guys and they walked around looking at the crazy adults .. yes they were all crazy.. mum say’s it is like the old Austin when she was a kid.. I could not imagine my mum being like some of those people …. I promise she wouldn’t dress like that ever!! It is a people watching kind of area…. Mum was like Liam stay close to daddy… it is more like Liam watch daddy make sure he behaves haha….

Saturday we got up early to take her to Pigeon Forget.. I was super excited b/c that meant I got two Buc-ees there and two home… and SANTA there…. So excited…. We got on the road and I started seeing signs and let her know quickly how excited I was going to be at the store when we finally arrived. We got to Crossville.. my home store and Buc-ee was out.. my friend.. so excited took pictures first then went to the bathroom…. I made Aunt Misty take a picture with me.. She was going to be my new photo buddy for a few days and she didn’t know it.

Next we go to the one in Sevierville.. This is the BIG one with a BIG car wash.. of course we had to wash. mums car and let Aunt Misty see how long it was. It was fun except the person in front of us not knowing how to work the machine.. . I could do it … not sure why it was so hard.. Then he jammed up and they had to wait to get moving b/c he didn’t understand the sign and the instructions of do not touch brake and put in neutral… mum was like good grief and I said move car!!! And laughed.. yes I go that from her… :). Move Truck.. Move CAR……. Finally done at the car wash and off we went to the Bush’s bake bean place.. I took pictures with the truck and inside.. it was actually a lot of fun. I made everyone laugh with my awesome personality .. :) WE finished there and headed into pigeon forge and stopped at the Santa store… I was pretty disappointed but they explained he deserve vacation for a few months after all the hard work leading up to and at Christmas.. so guess I understand… so off to the next adventure and to find our place to sleep tonight…. We headed up into Gatlinburg and found our condo it was on the side of what seemed like a mountain … it was a nice but small little place. We unloaded and went back to find something yummy to eat.. we ended up back at the diner and it was really good… I got fish… I love fish… our waiter was very nice and told mum she needed a good tip for him bc he kept my tea full!!! Most people forget me b/c I am a kid… but not this guy he was great.. WE left and found some stores that looked cool and explored a little … Misty found a BIG foot and I think she was a little sweet on him she and I took lots of pictures and even kissed him :). We went inside another store and it was silly all the BIG foot stuff around town… We haven’t seen any bears around but decided we were going to go on a bear hunt and that peaked my interest… BIG foot and BEARS omy… so off we went to explore and see what we could find…. Next morning we ate cinamon rolls from mum friend at the hidden cottage and got out and started trying to find these bears everyone said are all over the place… We went up and down and went around looking for them and nothing…. WE decided to go to a place called Cades cove … it was a long way to get there took over hour to get down there but you have to drive really slow b/c of the road. We got back in the back and they said around where they have been seen so off we went and another hour of driving and NO bears… just stupid people taking their pets to be eaten by the bears that could be there but they were hiding from us. We finally got back and time to go back to Buc-ees before we leave the area…. We stopped and of course I did my typical bathroom, egg , picture and look around to make sure there was nothing left that I don’t have …. But I am pretty caught up on shirts and things… for right now!!!! I still want my mini butterflies and things I do need to restock .. :)

We got home and I made Aunt Misty a Big Foot on the 3D printer for her to take home for a memory.. I chased her around the house and was sad to see her packing to leave. I had a lot of fun hanging out with them and being silly and making the two of them laugh at my sarcasm… We went to my music class and they walked around … After music we went to let her get something from the Johnny cash museum off broadway again and we dropped them went around the block and those two took pictures inside and came out being silly like kids… But hey we didn’t have to deal with parking and the mobs…. And Aunt misty got her Johnny cash fix.. We had to take her to airport afterward and I wanted to cry.. Was so sad she was leaving.. mummy was so free and happy hanging out .. they laughed so much.. don’t think mummy has laughed like that in a long time.. it was nice to see her have a GREAT time …

Traci and Kaylea here … Kaylea is super sweet and Daisy came over and the two of them had sooo much fun together.. we took her down to Opry and took pictures with her and all of us with the OPRY sign and guitars.. We went into the gift shop and I am going to say I have no clue what happened but when we came out it looked like some mob of people just flooded the area I promise there were over a million people out there all of a sudden like out of nowhere…. Traci and mum were like lets get out of here quick… we left and went to look at a few more things and then headed over to a good place meaning someplace we would have fun and not be bored with adult things!! … it was a trampoline park.. I had never seen anything like this but it was a lot of fun.. I jumped and went around to all the different trampolines even the ones that balls where flying .. I didn’t care if they were throwing things.. nothing ever hit me…. I got off and walked around Daisy and Kaylea were doing the rock wall.. I kind of wanted to try but kind of didn’t so I didn’t :). I had mum take me back over to the trampolines…. Mum and I also went and took our picture together it was a funny picture…. But she got her memory now lets go play some more… I really had a lot of fun.. Daisy and Kaylea were also playing in a ball/foam pit I thought it was funny to watch but didn’t want to go in there at all…
After that we went to eat they were starving and couldn’t wait for the Loveless cafe so we went to Chuys .. I was cool with that I ate like 10 tortillas.. the waitress was wonderful and brought us like 3 things of them… the girls were helping me inhale them… chips and tortillas who needs to order this was fine by me…. We never eat our food after all the chips and snacks…. We left and had to get Daisy to the Rec center to skate.. while we waited on sissy we played the playground and then watched Daisy skate.. Then we all went back to the house and the girls were running and playing like crazy girls.. I went upstairs to rest and then to basement to print and back to my room for some downtime.. Traci and Kaylea left the next morning to go to Kentucky to the Arc. And we went to church….

Back to school and normal.. well whatever that is…. My normal….

Traci and Kaylea came back Thursday night and mum cooked dinner and we did therapy in the kitchen.. Kaylea, daddy, mummy, Traci and me all did DMI an shaky plate and showed them kind of a little of my life… next we played with Chase the Fox .. it is my favorite game.. and soooo much fun…. What a blast… I laughed so hard….. They had to get home the next morning. I puked so I got to stay home …. Mum called me out at dolphins and I stayed home and rested the rest of the day.. I didn’t get sick anymore… mum was worried b/c I had my big event at saddle up coming up.

The next morning we got up and got me fed and ready to go to the stables. When we arrived a new friend named Patrick met up with us and put a cool microphone on me and mummy .. not sure what it was for but he had a really big cool camera and took some awesome video’s and pictures of me while riding… I was competing today on Rita…. She was my horse a while back.. My sweet willie has not been feeling well…

I was first on the horse and out in the area outside…. Then we went inside and I was first there as well and then we rode around until the last event…. I got 1st place on one and 3rd and 4th place on the others… it was a lot of fun.. I think they gave me Rita also b/c Willie doesn’t always like to Trot … we are definitely a great match!!!

I love my horses.. all of them.. they are the best… I love saddle up !!

This was a busy, but yet fun month…. Had so many visitors and so much to do …. We stay busy for sure!!!

So much coming up in April… can’t wait to share….

Love Liam
