Where did the pee pee go?

Last night Andrew was  getting Samantha ready for bed and when he put her on the potty to go one last time, she sat for a moment, but didn't have to go.  She looked down and asked, "Where did the pee pee go?"

Gotta have a sleeve!

Jack (16 months) was trotting around the condo with milk bottle in hand when he happened upon a Starbucks coffee cup sleeve.  Funny thing...he knew exactly what to do with it.

"Funny Sam"

This morning Samantha made numerous trips to the potty (she's been eating a lot of fruit here in Kauai).  After doing some business I asked her if she was finished.  She said, "no thank you mommy".  I responded, "You need to sit here for a while, huh."  She said "yeah" and then bowed her head and started snorring over and over.  She looked up at me with a coy little grin as I was cracking up and then said, "funny Sam".  :)  What a sense of humor!

Sami Quote

We are currently vacationing in Kauai and the other day I took Sami to McDonald's for an ice cream cone.  We were sitting down eating when Sami, looking at her cone said, "Ice cream, I missed you!"

What warms a mothers heart

Dear Sami and Jack,
One of the things I love to watch is the two of you playing together, laughing at one another, and loving each other.  It warms my heart to see you two interacting.  You are both still so small (3 and 1), yet it is obvious that you love each other very much.  Sami, you get excited when your little brother wakes up in the morning and from his nap.  You say, "baby boy's awake" and you run upstairs and go into his room and climb into his crib to be with him. Jack, you just have to be wherever your sister is. She generates a lot of excitement for you and you just don't want to miss out on anything. When you were about 13 months old you learned how to give kisses and when asked you would give your big sister several kisses in a row.
Tonight at bedtime, instead of rushing the two of you into your separate rooms, I allowed Jack to join Sami in her bed for a few minutes.  You wanted to be as close to Sami as you could and the two of you sat and sucked on your milk bottles together and enjoyed the display of stars and the moon on Sami's ceiling. What a delight to see the two of you enjoying one another's company.  I pray that the two of you develop a bond of love for each other that lasts your lifetimes.
