Sam

-

















 

Over the past six months I haven't had a whole lot of super nice things to say about Sam.  Don't misunderstand, I love Sam - but Sam can be a very trying little boy.  He is moody and loud and has a mini breakdown every night from 6:00 to 7:00.  He pitches the worst fits you can imagine and he is not a great listener. Sometimes I get so caught up with how difficult Sam can be that I neglect to documents how wonderful he can be. 

Sam is a very sweet little boy.  He feels everything 100% - this includes love.  He is so excited when I come into his room to wake him up in the mornings.  He opens those sleepy little eyes and smiles at me from his crib.  Then he wraps his arms around me and says "MOMMY!"

Sam is also a hugger.  On a regular basis he runs up to me arms wide open and says "hug."  Tonight he got into a hugging mood in the parking lot at Staples.  He put both arms around my neck, laid his head on my shoulder and said, "cuddle."  He is also a kisser.  He kisses me at least 20 times per day. 





 Last night Sam and I spent some time putting puzzles together.  Then he decided that he wanted to read.  We snuggled on the couch and read together for about an hour.  We read all of Sam's favorite books and then he wanted to read "You Are My I Love You."  After reading this a couple of times I told Sam that I loved him and he told me, "I love you."  It was quite sweet.

This morning as Michael was carrying Sam to the car I yelled out "I love you Sam." He excitedly yelled back, "I love you mommy." 
 Sam calls all small, sweet fruit "strawbees." 
Michael and I agree that while Sam can be a exhausting  - he has a smile that is impossible to resist.

Today we woke up at 6:30 to prepare for our big day at Universal Studios Islands of Adventure. The shuttle from the hotel left for the park at 8:00 meaning that we had to be downstairs and ready to go at 7:45. At 7:30 we realized that we had to book our spot on the shuttle the night before. Oops. For two people with jobs requiring close attention to detail we completely fall apart in our personal life. Fortunately we were able to purchase a ticket and catch the 8:00 shuttle anyway. The shuttle ride was interesting; we ended up sitting behind a young couple that could have left about 90% of their PDA in their hotel room and it still would have been too much for my taste. When we got to the park we noticed our ticket required that we show I.D. Well, I didn't bring my purse with me. Oops. After reading and rereading the fine print, we lawyerly types figured out an interpretation that would allow me to get into the park without producing photo i.d. We geared up for the fight

Wednesday night I got a strange phone call from Michael; he asked if I could get an ice pack and a couple ibuprofen ready for him.  Check it out . . .   He went to the doctor Thursday morning and came home with a boot, a pressure sock and a pair of crutches.  Looks like he will be out of commission for approximately two months.

On Sunday morning we slept until 9:30!  Finn was up with the sun, of course, but Sam slept until a little after 9:00. When we got up the sun was shining so we decided to hang the boys gourd bird house from Mr. Gene.  So far we have really enjoyed going to church on Sunday night.  Finn specifically told me that he likes night church better because he can get up and play.  The boys had a pajama party at school today.  It was in honor of Ms. Jenn's last day before maternity leave.  Finn was very excited to show his friends his godzilla feet. Big morning for Finn.  Last night was the first night that we have not put a nighttime pull-up on Finn.  He woke up with a dry bed!
