This is Dedicated to the One I Love

Have I told you how much I love my Sammy? As he grows closer to age two, he is getting more and more creative. He can entertain himself so well and always calls to me, "Mommy, watch!" He is going to be so smart. I know he'll be able to pull the wool over my eyes a million ways when he's older if he wants to. He has so much enthusiasm. He plays hard until he gets tired and then he gets slap happy and turns into Slap Happy Sammy. Then he sleeps hard! He has a hard time waking up, much like his mother, and is happy to spend a few minutes in my arms each day when he wakes up from his nap.

Here's his favorite project. Maybe he'll be an engineer. He finds out how much weight this tractor can pull. He finally succeeded at getting it to pull the dump truck while having "Moe," his trusty friend, drive the whole thing around the kitchen. He was absolutely giddy, jumping up and down that it finally worked!

We picked up this easel at a yard sale Saturday and it kept Sam and Michael busy for the better part of Conference.
Too short to sit at Daddy's place? Sam ran and got the bathroom stool to make himself a booster seat. He then watched his reflection in the window as he pretend to eat Daddy's food.



He found an old costume skirt of mine and wrapped it around himself like a vampire. Too bad I hate scary Halloween costumes. He's a natural Dracula! No one would deny him a kiss, either!


During Conference Saturday afternoon he put one hand on each of my shoulders and pulled my head back over the side of the couch to give me a big kiss on the lips, 3 times! He is always busy - in a good way - and is outgoing, friendly, and generous and we love him to death!
