First Day of School

Today Sam had his FIRST day of school! He did amazingly! Teacher Shelley said he was a rock star and played well, didn't cry and listened.

He was a little crazy when I was trying to take a photo (I guess 2-year-olds don't stand there with a big grin and a backpack like the older kids do), so the photos are a little blurry!
His first day on the steps. It took 156 takes to get one with him looking and not jumping, running away or turning around! But I got it!!!

Sam walking down the halls of school on his second day! Like a pro!!!!
Here is Sam in his fav part of school - the truck and train playland! His buddy Ben is in the background and it is so dang cute because they are really buds. They play every school day with each other and Sam talks about Ben when we are not at school! His first real friend!!!

Sammer Updates - July 2011

Sam is becoming this smart, little , talking machine. I love every second we have with him and I can just tell that the time will fly by! I want to savor every giggle, tantrum and adorable conversation that happens every day.

Some fun things I want to remember forever....

When Sam says "I love you, Mama" it comes out like "Ah U, Mama."

When Sam sees any poop, it is "poot".

Oh, and "No" is now "No Waaay". It is the best. It is so hard to not laugh if you are trying to get him to do something or tell him not to do something. Us: "Sam, please use your manners and pick up that toy you just threw." Sam: "Nooo Waaayy."

Sam is just starting on the "going-on-the-potty" journey. Mostly he just downs "teets" (treats) while he sits there and then when he licks his last "sucher", he is outta there! Then he will pee on the floor or the sofa. We are not so good at this training stuff.

Sam can get a gut laugh started if he watches you laugh, even if he has no idea what is so funny. It is so genuine and real, I love it!

He still loves "momos" (motorcycles or lawn mowers) and "trucks" and "ootball" (football) and "saus-er" (soccer)."

I love this boy. I love him to pieces.
