Doesn't our little man look so cute...dressing up in his sister's pink crocs. Little does you know, behind all that cuteness is an absolute terror. Children like Sam are why the term "terrible twos" was coined. Just a few quick examples:
*Sam is always climbing...onto the table, into drinking fountains, on the back of the couch, on top of his sisters. One of his favorite climbing adventures is to get on the table and chuck all the apples all around the kitchen.
*Sam loves the garden hose and the vacuum. No one can use those two items while Sam is awake--they are his. If you try to water or vacuum, he will scream at you until you give him back his toy.
*Sam can open the door. One day I noticed it was a little too calm in the house so I started to look for Sam. He had opened the front door and was just walking down the street waving at all the passing cars. He sure is a friendly fellow.
*Sam colors on all the walls and floors. I don't know how he finds pens, crayons and markers so well but he does!
*Sam dumps all his food and beverages on the floor and/or table when eating.
*Sam is so loud in church and has been known to chuck his cars at people and he yells a lot. Also, he smushes crackers and drops them all over the floor and he has s tried to dump water all over the pew. Anyone who has ever lived in the San Rafael second ward will understand that we have to pick our seat very carefully--for fear of Brother Salarpi
*Sam loves the toilet. The other day I thought he was playing with his sisters and I heard these shreiks of joy and laughter. I went back to see what was happening and saw my three sweet girls reading books together and Sam in the bathroom. That little monster had put a whole roll of TP in the toilet and was flushing it over and over watching the water run over the edge. He was soaked, there was water all over the floor and wet TP stuck on everything.
Oh that boy.
There was a temporary error trying to upload my photo so you will have to wait and see my little angel.

Sounds a lot like mine. Must be a boy thing.
OH MY HEAVENS! I always laugh at your posts, but this one is too much. You made my day with the Brother Salarpi comment. Thank you. And I hope Sam snaps out of it! :)))
He could have fooled me! Looks like an absolute joy and I don't believe any of those nasty things you had to say about him! :)
So please tell me he does not eat anything healthy, or even at all, and throws a truly spectacular fit when you have the audacity to put a plate of healthy food (or even food he likes but is not in the mood for) in front of him. Then I will know where Alden's soul brother resides, and that we are not alone in the world.
Bishop Bailey...you are not alone in the world...Sam doesn't throw a fit, instead he thows the food. He can't eat. He has to dump.
So funny, Annie! I think my boys give him a VERY close contest!! The 3 of them together are Triple Trouble!! Especially at church. ;0)
