What the heck happened to my baby boy?

He's suddenly taking on big boy responsibilities and I'm struggling with letting him go.  :-)
LOVES to brush his teeth. 

Sam's new favorite chore

"Washing dishes" is Sam's new fave activity.  He'll stand on a stool at the sink for more than 30 minutes just playing with the water and his spoons.  We can't give him anything that holds more water than a spoon holds b/c he has filled bowls/cups with water and dumped them on the floor.  Mopping is not MY fave activity.
While at Harmony's house on Easter, Sam "helped" with the dishes.

But don't worry...Sam spent plenty of time playing too.  Especially outside with GP.

The teachings of Zen

Sam likes to head outside after breakfast and tend to his rock gardens.  Though it is uncertain what he's thinking about, we imagine he's either pondering the true meaning of life as he becomes one with nature or seeking wisdom in the attainment of enlightenment.  We look forward to the day he can share.  Oh yeah...Go Heels!

A day at the zoo...well almost

Sam woke up to find himself at the zoo.  He loves to hear and practice saying all of the animal sounds.

Another beautiful day

We took Sam outside for some more sun.  He enjoys touring and getting to know every square inch of our apartment complex.  If it doesn't open soon, Sam will be going over or through that fence to get to that pool.

Mr. Oppo.  If you listen closely you'll hear/see a gimpse of Sam in all his 'no' glory.

At the playground...

Oh yeah.  Sam has yet to meet a playground he doesn't like.  Though the OM area isn't quite 'The Village' it certainly has plenty of fun close by.

The dreaded moving bridge.  I have to give Sam credit.  Though he isn't always

successful at getting all the way across he is never too scared to give it a try.

Here he is surveying the obstacle.

He knows to hold on tight.

Oh how I wish my legs were just a bit longer.

OMG that was close.  There's always tomorrow.
