Sam’s three great loves are cars, animals, and stickers. Wall stckers featuring animals in cars are, therefore, a big hit! We’ve been doing this all morning.

Tigger is cared for very well.  He is regularly dressed, fed, and put to sleep. Sometimes he has a runny nose too!

I can’t help it, I’ve been housebound for too long! More pics of our snowpocalypse and ice storm (such as they are).

It’s not a particularly creative post title. Nor is this an original message. But you get the idea.

Video to follow (if it’s up to snuff, I haven’t reviewed it yet).

Today was the first snow of the season – and what snow! The pictures below were taken from the balcony at our new place. Tomorrow we hope to take Sam to the park to build a snowman.

With our recent move, we’ve had a lot of work to do. Sam helps out whenever he can.

A conversation we had today:

Me, pointing to myself: who is this?

Sam: Mommy!

Me, pointing to Dave: who’s that?

Sam: Daddy!

Me, pointing to Sam: Who’s that?

Sam: You!

I guess we do call him “you” a lot!

Last Christmas, Sam received an advent calendar from Grandma Navarro. This year, to fill it, we bought a package of mini play-doh tubs and Sam got one every other day. This proved to be a mistake; the regular infusions of a small volume of play-doh led us to only allow him to play with small amounts at a time. The small amounts made it hard to make anything meaningful, resulting in it being abandoned quickly, dropped on the floor, and otherwise abused and thrown out. Yesterday, Emily made a large batch of Kool-aid playdough. Sam had a lot more fun with that!
