April 16


I told Will that I wanted to start a blog so I could share pictures and videos without sending out emails. So, voilĂ ! I'll try to update it weekly.

Yesterday Sam got another haircut (see picture on right side). This time it is cut very short so it will be a while before he gets it cut again. He did an awesome job and didn't shed a tear.

Today is April 16. Will was up at 3:15am so he could make his 5:30am flight. Sam was up crying just a few minutes before he got up making it more difficult for Will to get up. Will called tonight and his flight was delayed so he's not sure if they will make their connector- so who knows when he'll be home.

Last week Sam went to the doctor and had the beginning of a double ear infection. He's finishing his medicine and seems to be feeling better. That is, until this morning. We were playing outside and he was pulling the wagon when he tripped over the uneven surface and fell onto his hands. When he fell it took about 1/3 of his thumb nail off. And you guessed it, it is his right thumb, the one he sucks. So he can't suck it and gets very frustrated when he can't. This really just interrupts his sleep (like right now, it's 10:15pm and his is starting to cry, now he's back to sleep). He has Little Einsteins bandaids but I don't think he cares about them. He just wants to suck his thumb. Could be a long night!

Here's a picture of the bandaged finger:
I love taking videos b/c it really captures Sam's personality. Here are a few new things.
In the first video, I am asking Sam how old he is and how old he is going to be:




In this video, I say "Ready" and Sam says, "Set, Go!" I thought I'd narrate just in case you don't understand him. We use to say, "Ready, Set" and then he would say "Go" but he decided he would like to say "Set!"


That is all for today.
