It’s that time again! The time where I throw a mishmatch of my favorite stories and pictures from the last few months.  Enjoy!

A little while ago, Sammy told me that he didn’t like my kisses.  “I only like Daddy’s kisses.  Yours are wet.  I have to wipe them off.”  I laughed at this silly little boy and his funny observations on the world.  (My feelings were only hurt a teensy-tinsy bit.)

Over Christmas I was mentioning this story to my Mom and Debbie and Clare overheard it.  She skipped through the room and said “I love your kisses Mom.  I think they’re just right.”

Out on a walk with Sammy:
Me: Sam, what are you thinking about?
Sam: Beluga whales.

On long car rides we’ll often play the “Guess Animal Game” where one person thinks of an animal and everyone else has to ask questions and try to guess the animal that they are thinking of. We played in the car the other day and things got pretty silly.  J and I just stayed out of it, listening and giggling to ourselves.

“I’m thinking of an animal.  But it’s not an animal.  We put it on paper and it… sticks to things.”

“Is it tape?”

“Yes!”

“I’m thinking of an animal that is an animal but it’s riding in the car and it has blond hair and it likes dinosaurs!”

“It’s me!”

Sammy and J were picking up pizza a few weeks ago. Sam was bopping around the restaurant in his usual Sammy way. J glanced over and saw that the woman waiting in line with them was literally petting Sam’s head.

“I just couldn’t help myself,” she explained. “Normally I’m not a kid person, but he’s just so cute.”
