A Special Day

Yesterday as we were coming home from church I told Samuel that we would eat lunch and then take a little nap.  We had been out late the night before attending the baseball game so we were all quite tired.  Samuel was all for the idea of lunch and a nap.  He asked if he could snuggle with his sweater vest that he had worn to church.  David explained to him that we don't snuggle with our sweater vests and here is how the discussion ended:

Samuel:  But I'm having a special day.
Me: You are?  What makes it special?
Samuel:  Well, I get to snuggle with my vest.

Oh, what a way to get what you want!  No crying, no whining, no yelling.  Just selling the idea that it's a special day and then when asked why its special just state that it is special because you get to do what you want.  Such a smarty pants! 

Sharky and Bones

It is awesome being close enough to Disney to be able to enjoy some free concerts.  A couple weeks ago we got to go to the Sharky and Bones concert.  Sharky and Bones do the music for Jake and The Neverland Pirates.  LOVE IT! or um, I mean, Samuel loves it.
Here are some of our favorite videos from the concert.

Singing "Talk Like a Pirate" and "Roll the Map"

Tick Tock Croc (Sorry this one is so blurry)

Singing Hot Lava (again, very blurry...I think a video camera may have worked better :))

Doctor is In

Samuel has many costumes and he loves to use them.  I came home one day last week to find him in his doctor costume and David with his foot up.  Apparently David had done something to his foot and the doctor was going to sort it out....below is a video. 
Oh, and just for clarification, Samuel calls getting a shot, a pinch.  He is smart and really listens to everything that is said.  So when the nurses have given him shots they have always said, "now a small pinch." and that is why Samuel calls shots pinches.  Also, that is not a real syringe....no needle, David is not being treated by an unlicensed professional :o)

Lakeland Flying Tigers

My friend won tickets to the Flying Tigers game and because Samuel is so adorable, she gave the tickets to our family so that we could all go!  We had so much fun!  Samuel was so excited to wear his baseball shirt - the funny part about this is that David and I had forgotten about the shirt.  It had been hanging in Samuel's closet, but we hadn't even noticed it.  When David was getting Samuel ready to go Samuel kept telling David that he needed his baseball shirt.  Finally in frustration at David not finding the right shirt, Samuel went into his room and showed David the shirt he was talking about. 
Samuel was also excited to take his mitt to the game.
While at the game a photographer from the Ledger came over - we were on the front row behind home plate.  The photographer had been over by the third base line and had gotten a foul ball.  Well apparently he decided that Samuel should have it and Samuel was soo thrilled!

Silly pose when first arriving at the game
