"Little Daddy"

I am constantly amazed at Liam's conversations...of the things he says, and he puts ideas together. Maybe it isn't as amazing to others, but to us it's wonderful to see how he develops his thoughts and how he improves on his understanding of how different ideas go together. We listen to him on a daily basis and sometimes the things he says just make us giddy with pride and or/amusement.

Last night, as I was putting him to bed, he wanted to get his caterpillar (a small stuffed version of The Very Hungry Caterpillar). Liam and I are upstairs, Matt is downstairs in the living room.
Me: Where is your caterpillar Liam?
Liam: I don't know. I'll go look. (he leaves his room to go downstairs)
Me: Hold on Liam. Matt, where is Liam's caterpillar?
Matt: In his room I think.
Liam: No it's downstairs! (he says this with the air of one who knows)
Matt: Are you sure, I think you had it upstairs.
Me: Liam, Daddy says it's upstairs, let's try to find it.
Liam: (who is on his way down the stairs now) Daddy, it's on the couch. Right there. (it is) I'll go get it.
(Liam retrieves it, being faster than Matt, and starts to head back up, but then turns back to Matt briefly)
Liam: I'll go back upstairs. Goodnight little Daddy....oh, wait. *little Liam laugh* I'M little. You big. Sorry. Goodnight big Daddy.
(and then he comes upstairs)

*happy sigh*
