Sam has us cracking up all the time these days with the silly things he says or the funny things he does. I love when I start laughing and Sam looks at me with his eyebrows raised and a huge smile. It’s like he’s saying “I like that you’re happy but I really don’t get what’s so funny!”

Here are some of his most recent gems:

• This morning Sam was impatiently waiting for his toaster waffles to be done and kept asking “Ready? Ready?” I told him that he needed to wait for a DING! and then they’d be ready. A minute later he walked over to me, and sneakily said, “DIIIING! Waffles ready!”
• At dinner the other night, he looked over at Henry (our dog) and announced, “No pet Henry’s penis. Pet Henry’s hair!” Apparently he had learned an important lesson earlier that day when petting Henry.
• Sam has devised his own classification system. Things are either heavy or baby. All day long he’ll classify things into these two categories. “Heavy jump!” after a doing a big jump. “No! Baby fork!” after I accidentally give him the big fork.
• He loves to do anything he has seen us do. He walks around the house with oven mitts on and then gets frustrated that he can’t pick anything up. He imitates daddy doing push-ups (basically just nods his head while exhaling deeply). And he loves to pucker up and put chapstick on his lips… and all over the rest of his face.
• Today at lunch with Deirdre and Evie, Sam and Evie had their own little game of footsie going on. They just kept tapping their toes together and cracking up.

Everyday it is something new! I hope he is always this entertaining!
