22 Month Update

How do I sum up month 22? Sam & Madie are the best of friends and the worst of enemies all in a span of a few minutes.

Here are just a couple examples of things they have been up to lately:

Last night I fished a small tonka truck out of the toilet. Sam accidentally dropped it in while I was helping Madie get in the bathtub. Needless to say, it went in the trash. No amount of soap can make that clean in my mind.

While changing Sam's diaper the other evening, Madie proceeds to open the cupboard on the desk and press the correct combination of buttons to make a photocopy on the printer. I have a feeling she could do it again, if I let her.

Latest Phrases/Words:

Madie: "Ladies first"

Sam: "Helicopter" which sounds like octobopter. He also enjoys using "too." "Sammy eating, Madie eating too." "Madie reading, Sammy reading too."

Sam played with these stacking crayons for over 2 hours one afternoon.
Getting him to color with them is another story. Here he is lining them all up.

And the stacking begins . . .
Last one! Too bad I didn't get a picture after this.
He was so excited he clapped his hands and knocked it over.

Sshh..don't tell Dad.

Aren't mine cool too?
