Burning Questions

Samuel is the king of stalling.  Last night he didn't want to go sleep in his bed, he wanted to snuggle with us.  So we were laying down and he was almost asleep, or at least I thought he was.  Then all of a sudden he asked, "Dad, why did Jack and Jill go up the hill to fetch a pail of water?"

So Polite!

Tonight Samuel's tummy wasn't feeling very good.  Some time the treatment makes him a bit nauseated, so for dinner we wanted to take it a bit easy for him.  He had some toast and Gatorade because that sounded good to him.  I was eating some green beans and asked him if he would like one.  His response, "No thank you, but thank you for the offer."  Such a polite little fellow!

A simple question

I was downstairs with Samuel relaxing.  We spent the morning at Animal Kingdom and had just completed his daily treatment so I was pretty spent.  Samuel asked if I would get down so that he could ride me like a bull.  I kept saying things like "Later", "After this show", etc.  When nothing else worked I told him to go ask dad.......looking back I should have been more clear.
Samuel went upstairs and asked, "Dad, can I ride mom like a bull." 
I tried yelling up to clarify that Samuel was suppose to ask if he could ride Dad like a bull....it was too late.  David happily gave his permission for Samuel to ride me like a bull.  Samuel came down and with a big smile told me, "Dad said yes!"
