We're going to miss them!
Most of you know that I hated to take my "baby" to daycare, but it turned out to be

a good experience for both Samuel & me. He really did well with the socialization and though there were things that we wish he hadn't learned there (I'm sure he was a contributor to those things too), he did learn a lot of very cool things. In particular he learned that he isn't the only child in the world and that he has to listen to other adults. All VERY good lessons to learn at a young age. He also learned some Spanish (he counts to ten beautifully in Spanish - so so in English - Ha!), & Yoga (he helps me when I do my stretches).

More later.

We checked out a farm on Spring Steubner a few weeks ago. It was pretty cool,

but it ended up being a short trip - you know - close to naptime

and everyone started getting a little CRANKY

But it was fun while it lasted.

Father and son - I love getting shots of these two.

Sam was trying to pet these little guys though I'm not sure what they were. But when Sam was touching the nose of the fur ball that had recently had his nose in the private parts of the other fur ball you know I was freaked out. For those of you who don't know it's daily struggle for me to fight my germophobe tendencies :)

And you know that's just gross

Then Sam felt the need to pull the pig's tail. I mean -

come on. Shall we get more gross?

My little cutie can't do all of those gross things yet - he just poops his pants.

And my Samuel. I actually got him to stand still for a few seconds.

He thought it was great fun to pick up pumpkins and throw them. Hmmmm

BOYS!

And with that cute grin who would want it any other way?
