Conversations with Sam:

Sam sees Nate playing with the hammer and pegs set.

Sam takes the hammer away from Nate (gently) and says:

“Sorry Nate. Hammers are for girls, not for little boys”

Nate Crawling (looks like lurching)

Here’s Nate’s current attempts at crawling:

I found this note from back in December. Sandra had this conversation with Sam:

Sam: Mommy, I’m still hungry.
Me: Okay, what do you want?
Sam: I want eggs!
Me: Okay sweetie, I’ll make you a couple of eggs for lunch
Sam: Need BUTTER!!
Me: Apparently we are raising you right.
Sam: Yup Mommy…..where’s the butter?

–Jason

Conversations with Sam

sandra — Thu, 21 Jun 2012 17:58:07 +0000

This happened when I was getting Sam up from her nap.

Me: Samantha I need to brush out your hair.
Sam: No Mommy, my hair is beautiful (said in a very sorrowful and solemn way)
Me: Sam you’ve been asleep and you have some tangles. They need to be brushed out, and we need to put your hair back.
Sam: But my HAIR. IS. BEAUTIFUL.
Me: Yes, it is……but it still needs to be brushed
Sam: No Mommy No!!!!!

At this point she just runs away from me in terror of a hairbrush. I don’t think I ever did get it brushed out that day.

This was a conversation we had with Sam on Sunday morning of this week. A little background about breakfast, sometimes we have to really get on her to eat her oatmeal.

Me: Sam you need to eat your oatmeal so we can go to Mass.
Sam: I can’t
Me: Why not?
Sam: I’m scared.
Me: What are you scared of?
Sam: My oatmeal and bananas
Me: Your oatmeal and bananas?
Sam: Yessssss
Me: Are they threatening anarchy?
Sam: I don’t like anarchy!
Jason: The best way to control anarchy is to eat your oatmeal and bananas
Sam: Okay (sounding deflated)

Most of the oatmeal was eaten. Anarchy was avoided.
