Sam's Hope For A Cure

Picky Drinker

Sam will ONLY drink Fiji water today.  Hah.  I've already refilled the bottle twice with tap water and he hasn't noticed.  Sometimes he can tell the difference between water brands but not today.  Thank goodness.  That stuff is not cheap, yo.

Sam Hugs

Sam is constantly patting Lars's head and hugging him.  It's really sweet of Sam but we have to watch the two together very closely.  Too much love can sometimes hurt.

the first little pig

 

Sam's favorite story right now is the story of the three little pigs.  We were "building a house of bricks" with his duplos the other day when he suggested we build a house of "straw".  He ran into the kitchen and came back out with the entire box of drinking straws.   It took me a second to realize what he was trying to tell me.  A house of straws! duh!  So we built one of course.

ASHTON: still alive after three long nights in the hospital and very little sleep
SAM: still alive after running around in circles with excitement for the last few days 
LARS: still alive after loads of hugs, head pats, and hand shakes ("Nice to meet you, Lars") from his older brother
