Recent funny stories

Our Sammy boy so badly wants to be a man. Here are some recent examples of how he's been showing his maturity. *giggle*

- Jacob and Sammy were listening to a Beatles CD he made for us in the car. Paperback Writer came on and Jacob said something along the lines of, "This is probably one of my favorite Beatles bass lines of all time." When the next song came on (it was Oh Darling, for those interested) Sammy said, "This song has a really good drum track."

- My parents got us a massage chair for Christmas. While in Arkansas, Jacob was pretty much glued to James' chair. Since we've set ours up at home, Sammy's back has been hurting a lot (so he says) so he frequently needs to "take a massage."

- Sammy received a Cars shaving kit for Christmas, complete with a little fake shaver (more of a bath squirter toy in the shape of an electric shaver) and shaving foam (ie soap). On Sunday morning Sammy requested a special bath (we usually bathe the kids at night) so he could shave before church. The funniest bit? He shaves his legs! hahaha (He doesn't love to get his face wet.)

- Last night Sammy hurt his foot by stepping on an electrical plug (something was unplugged). There was a tiny flap of skin hanging off and this totally wigged him out. He refused to put pants on because it would hurt his foot. He did not want a band-aid on it, and he was convinced he could not walk. I carried him to bed last night and told him it would be nearly all better in the morning. This morning, I got a call from Sammy's room (usually he bounds down the stairs): he needed to be carried downstairs, and was convinced he could not walk on his foot until about lunchtime today when I somehow talked him into putting socks on to cushion his foot.

And a slight Freddie update, just for the heck of it. He is such a daredevil.

- He is constantly telling us to "Watch" and doing something crazy, like jumping off the couch or the table, or balancing on the arm of a chair.

-He climbs everywhere, and most days I catch him sitting on the table eating rather than in his seat. He's always climbing onto the toilet to reach the sink and run the water. Today I saw him climb into the bathtub with a cowboy hat on. (probably to get to his brother's shaver)

- He refuses to wear mittens. Not really funny, but just to prove how stubborn he is. It's cold here. He should keep his "mitts" on.
