My sidekick

I really struggled with whether or not I should put this little guy in school this year and I am so glad I did not.  Now, this morning when he was mad and screamed at me for 45 minutes I was thinking if he were at school I wouldn't have to listen to this.  ha!  But, seriously, I have not regretted one minute.  He's my sidekick.  He has looked at many many houses, lots of paint, lots of granite and had a smile on his face the whole time!  He just takes some toys (and sometimes a sucker) and sits down and plays!  He has gotten so big.  The last two weeks I have been so sad about this fact.  I really wish I could keep him little!  Thankfully, he is getting more and more fun!  Here are a few pictures from the last two weeks!

He is OBSESSED with hats!  At the moment this is his favorite! 

He really likes it when he has a built in hat.

Last week he went to the dentist with me.  Afterwards we went to the Ag Museum and he stared at the trains for an hour.  He was so cute telling Zeb all about them at dinner that night!  

You can't tell from this picture...but I have to write this down so I will remember it 10 years from now (or 10 days from now with my memory!).  Last Wednesday night after church Zeb put him to bed and came down and asked me why Sam had on my socks.  I laughed.  I got these socks out to wear and then could not find them ANYWHERE!  Come to find out he had put them on over his socks and then put his boots back on!  The next day he pulled them out of the laundry pile and put them back on!

love...

He accidentally took this while we were looking at fabric.  I guess he also does this to keep himself entertained!
