Silly Sam

When we're reading books, Sam pretends to grab food off the pages and eat it. Sometimes he grabs other stuff, like animals, so I say, "Yuck! You can't eat a cat! Spit it out!" Then he giggles and pretends to spit. He's pretty good at pretending in general already, though sometimes he's confused when Matt hands him imaginary things.

Sam was full of good jokes in the car today after we dropped Matt off at preschool. Usually he says "Dad work" when he wakes up in the morning. Then he says "Matt school" after we drop Matt off. Today when we were driving away, he kept saying, "Matt work! Dad school!" Giggle, giggle, giggle. "Matt work! Dad school!" Giggle giggle giggle.

One day I was baking something and asked Matt and Sam if they wanted to peek in the oven. They did, so I turned the light on and they looked in through the glass. Now, whenever something's in the oven, Sam rushes over, gestures wildly at the light button until I press it, and pushes aside the hand towels so he can say "Boo! Boo!" through the glass.

Sam's other thing right now is doing actions, like all the hand motions to "Wheels on the Bus" and the action rhymes in High Five magazine. It's fun.
