As he enters his twentyseventh month on Planet Earth, our Sun Child spends a weekend at his sister Lenneke's. This also allows him to hang out with papa and his four oldest sisters (row below, middle). They treat him to fish and chips at his sister Lotte's work (row below, left) and he treats them to a funny face in return (row below, right).

Back home, Lior hangs out with Opa Ben and his youngest sister Luna when he wakes up (left) and just before he goes to bed (right). Indeed, Lior is lucky to be surrounded by such wonderful friends and relatives!

One of the nice things about having an older sister is that she can teach you all the ropes. Here, Luna teaches her little brother how to go pee-pee using a watering can (row below). This is a very useful skill, indeed!

When the weather turns rainy, Oma Naatje teaches Lior how to paint the windows (row below). Our young man is very thrilled about this and takes the task very seriously. Whenever he sees the window, he exclaims excitedly: "Dat heeft Lior gemaakt" ("Lior made this").

Summer time means visiting the outdoor pool at the Goffert Park, accompanied by an ice cream (row below, left), Lior's sister Luna (row below, middle), and a watering can (row below, right).

Lior is such an adorable little boy that his mom has to keep herself from cuddling and kissing him all the time (row above, left, and right). Whenever he does have a "terrible two's moment," which is rare, mom smiles about her sweetheart's behavior. Fortunately, he responds very well to a few minutes on the "chair for bad behavior." And counting "1, 2, 3" also works wonderfully well.

Esther-Mirjam bought a stamp set with letters for Luna to help her to learn how to read and write. However, Luna's little brother seems to enjoy it more than his big sister (row below). Lior seems way ahead of toddlers his age, being able to make long sentences with difficult grammatical constructions, no grammatical errors, and a clear pronounciation understandable for everyone.

Hey, where is my ice cream? Is it to my left (row below, left)? No! Is it to my right (row below, middle)? No! It is right in front of my face (row below, right). Get ready for me to make a big mess of it!

Hip, Hip, Hurray!
Twenty-eight months old!

This also means it is high time for a holiday. Lior heads for Normandy in France. This means there will be no update for a few weeks. And there is no use considering to break into his house, for someone is watching it and taking care of the rabbit!
