Yesterday, Sam came up to me after work and said:
"Dad, I want to show you the truck!"
"The truck?"
"In the craft room. You have to go quietly."
We proceeded to sneak into the craft room, where Sam opened a cabinet and whispered "See?" It was the truck I had bought him for Christmas, which Jamie had hidden away. Sam, being the sneaky monkey that he is, found it immediately. I quickly hid it in another location and I'm hoping that he'll forget all about it in a few months.

Sam had a wonderful time at the coast

Sam had a wonderful time at the coast. There were lots of people to play with, and everyone laughed at his jokes.

Sam's been going through a growth spurt, I think. Last night, he ate a huge amount of food. Every time he'd stuff something down, in a few more minutes he'd be hungry again. He's also been much more polite lately. There's a lot of "Please may I"'s, which are pretty hard to resist.

Sam came in to our bed this morning and dropped his binkies on the mattress. He told Jamie, "See mom. That's gravity."

Jamie's been working hard for the first part of this week, doing Tiny Tots and preschool things. I've been watching Sam in the evenings, and it's been great fun. I think he was a little sick for a few days, as he tended to whine a bit more than usual. It's been better, which makes him more fun to be around. He's also going to bed at 8 pm, which is wonderful. I've even had some time to relax in the evenings.

Sam's imagination is amazing. Last night, he was Max, not Sam. Sam was off for a walk in the forest, where he was captured by spiders and put in a cave. We had to drive off to Borders to rescue him and take him back. I think he got the idea from my stories about the Hobbit. Nice to know he's absorbing fine literature already.

Sam's sense of humor is improving

Sam's sense of humor is improving. Tonight, we had this little discussion:
"Dad, I want to tell you something."
"What?"
(burp)

How he timed it so perfectly, we'll never know.

Sam's been going through a phase lately

Sam's been going through a phase lately. Lots of whining. I keep assuring myself that it's normal and try to correct him:
"Why don't you ask 'could you please get me a cracker?'"
So far, it only sort of works.

Sam started preschool last week. He's really enjoying it.
"Gonna go, mom?"
"Yep."
"Will you pick me up after story time?"
"Yep."
"Okay, goodbye."

He's really enjoying the new sandbox. He had me bury him today while we were playing.
