Things I am learning about Sam . . .

-

                                      
1. I am learning that Sam will probably grow up to be what is called a "Type A" personality. Sam does everything to the best of his ability - even throwing fits.  On Thursday I took Sam to get a haircut at Danny's.  On the way home I seriously considered robbing a pharmacy and stealing all the valium. It was an awful experience, for Sam; for me; for Danny; and for all other patrons at the Salon.  For 20 minutes Sam threw his head around, he kicked, he hit and he screamed.  At one point I had him in a head lock with one arm and I was desperately holding his legs with the other  The next day I took Finn back for his haircut.  On of the other stylist came in and commented on how cute Sam is.  Danny responds, "were you here yesterday."  An "ah -hah" look crossed her face and she said, "no, but I heard all about it."  Referring, of course, to Sam's haircut.


2.  Sam loves his bunny.  On Wednesday morning I went to get Sam out of his crib.  He was holding his bunny.  I tried to pry it out of his hands and put it back in the crib.  Sam started to cry and as clear as day said, "I can't leave it."   On Wednesday night Sam said "sleepy mommy."  He then grabbed his bunny - which was still downstairs - and laid down with him on the den floor.

    That describes Cooper at every single hair cut for the past 4 years....welcome to my life. My arms are noodles when we leave from holding him with all my might so that his eyeball doesn't get cut.

Ghouls at Grassmere

Yesterday we took the boys to Ghouls at Grassmere.  Day started out pretty traumatic for Sam.  He wanted to go out and play.  He started to notice that there were several little worms on the porch.  He was terrified that the worms were going to get him so he sat in the porch swing with me for almost an hour.  Finn spent his time finding worms and then stepping on them.  Michael doesn't like for Finn to kill worms because they aren't hurting anything.  I reminded Finn of this fact and told him not to kill any more worms.  After a few minutes I start to hear more crunching.  I decide to take a different approach.  I told Finn, "Finn - the momma worm is going to be so sad because you killed the baby."  He looks at me and said, "don't worry mom - I'm gonna kill the momma too."  So much for the guilt trip. After a nap, it was time to start getting ready for the Zoo.  We started with the tights.  I bought Finn little girl...

The Fourth of July

Well the Begley clan had a pretty big Fourth of July celebration. Finn and I started the day by making a quick run to Wal-Mart to pick up some oatmeal. Then we got ready for our day with with Emily, Zac, Coop, Hank, Nana and Papa. We all met over at Em's house for a little playing, a little swimming and a lot of eating. When we first got there we all sat upstairs and watched the boys play in Cooper's playroom. Finn was absolutely amazed at all the toys. Then we decided to go to the pool. After getting the boy lathered up, we all loaded in the back of Zac's truck like the Clampetts and headed to the pool. With respect to those who would rather not be seen in a bathing suit on the blog, I have omitted the swimming pictures. We didn't get to swim too terribly long because it started looking like it was going to storm so we were only out for an hour. Once we got back home we had dinner. Greg made the best ribs I have ever put in my mouth. To end the evening Finn an...

High Ankle Sprain

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.
