In one week he will be 2 years old.  Wow.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday, like a true man, he decided he was hungry and began to fix  himself something.  He pushed a chair over to the stove, pulled over the  frying pan, got a butter knife, scooped out some butter, plopped it in  the pan and began talking to Dave.  Dave asked, &#8220;are you hungry Samuel?&#8221;   Some jibberish then a &#8220;Yes!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Today as we were reading &#8220;The Little Engine That Could&#8221; he turned back  to another page and he was pointing and talking about something then  said, &#8220;Ho Cow!&#8221; (Holy Cow)  Anthony has been saying that a lot lately,  so naturally Samuel picked up on it.  Samuel also picked up on &#8220;Gosh&#8221;  tonight (fortunately not the other) as we were watching &#8220;Extreme  Makeover: Home Edition&#8221;.  Children are so easily impressionable!<\/p>\n<p>And the funniest thing of all happened tonight as I was getting him  ready for bed. We were reading and he began picking at his nose.  I  pulled his hand away, &#8220;don&#8217;t pick your nose&#8221;.  He smiled and then shoved  his finger up his nose.  I took it away again.  Giggling, he put his  other finger up his other nostril.  I couldn&#8217;t help but giggle too.  I  pulled it out.  He put his other finger up his nose. I pulled it out.   Over and over.  We were laughing so much we couldn&#8217;t even finish the  story!<\/p>\n<p>These boys are so fun!<\/p>\n<p>Last week James&#8217; primary teacher told him to get a chair for the only girl in his class.  He asked &#8220;why?&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;So you can practice for when you have a sister someday.&#8221;<br \/>\nJames instantly said, &#8220;Nope, we&#8217;re going to be a family of all boys!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s true!  (Aside from me), we are going to be a family of all boys! (That&#8217;s another story for another time.)<br \/>\nBut even so, we are working on respect and courtesy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hope this brings a smile to your face today!
