You and I have been feeding the squirrels in our backyard for a long time now and we finally got a small bird feeder out there a couple weeks ago. Today you wanted to help feed the birds. You would get a small handfull of bird seed and put it in the cup we use and then try and put it in the little holes in the bird feeder. This took you quite some time and finally you thought why not just throw it on the steps, that was much easier! More pictures here.
Lately you just won't take a nap during the day. I think that it might have started since you start school (also known as daycare). You can't seem to relax at school and now that you are going there two days a week, you get off schedule during the week. So sometimes you take a nap, but most of the time you resist them. Like you did today for Grammy, she put you in your crib and you just cried and cried, you did not want to take a nap. So when I got home from work, I did my normal Wednesday quick vacuum and since you were pretty crabby (since you didn't take a nap) I carried you while I vacuumed. And you were so tired that you feel asleep while I was carrying you. So I laid you down in daddy's chair in the living room and slept there for an hour. All through the rest of my vacuuming, the laundry going, and me making dinner. Guess you were pretty tired, but just wanted to sleep on your own terms. Since normally you sleep in your crib I don't get to watch you sleep, so it was nice to just sit and watch you be so peaceful. I loved being able to just stare at you and wonder what you are dreaming.
I have decided that since I cannot seem to keep up with the scrap booking anymore, but I still want to place to keep pictures, milestones and just day-to-day stories in one place, that I am going to start a blog for each of the kids.
Most of this blog will start from Sam's second year (since I have a scrapbook already done for his first year and the second year is about a quarter of the way done - and I am determined to finish it!). But I think that I will try and backtrack the first two years when I have time.
So whoever wants to see anything and everything about Sam just come on over here! (I am still keeping the family blog, which I will post things about the entire family.)
Note: This will be written as if I am talking to Sam, since this is really their memento and I want them to be able to go back and read this like I was telling them a story about themselves.
