So, I was just hanging out in our office last night. Actually, we’re getting the room ready for visitors this weekend–Eli is coming with his parents!
Anyway, while I was in there, I saw this really cool looking potty, so, naturally, I sat on it.
Judging from Mommy and Daddy’s laughter, it was not intended for this purpose.
Then I measured the camera with a tape measure,
and wrapped up a lovely evening of thwarting Mommy’s cleaning with a videoconference with myself.
I love whales, especially when they come up out of the water, eat something and then SPLASH back down. Sometimes, though, there are mean fish in the water and you have to protect your whale. Keep that in mind, people.
HAPPY NEW YEAR, everyone!
I hope everyone saw Santa this year and got lots of toys.
This year we drove a long way in the snow to get to my Nana and Grampy’s house in Massachusetts. Nana and Grampy’s house is always lots of fun because it’s big with stairs and lots of rooms. This year my Uncle Todd and Aunt Angela came all the way from California, too. Unfortunately, Uncle Todd was a little bit scary when he talked to me but we had fun anyway.
I made sure to spend some quality time on the phone, just like last year.
Let’s cut to the chase… presents! I already told you about my first present that I got a little early, which is still awesome and in daily use, by the way. I also got the perfect companion for it: finger crayons from Melissa (you can sort of see them in the picture). I love them!
I got many more presents on Christmas. Actually, I got to open one or two presents every day until Christmas and then still had a bunch more. Christmas is the best!! I even got to pretend to be Santa, and help my Grampy hand out presents to everyone!
Here’s what I got:
an awesome garbage truck from my Uncle Todd and Aunt Ang, complete with working trash compactor and garbage bins,
some Spot books and doctor set from my Nana and Grampy, a Thomas the Tank Engine railway set from Mommy and Daddy, Percy and Harold the helicopter from cousins Lori and Ava,
I also got a boulder construction site with noisy crane and an engine wash for my trains! Sorry I didn’t take pictures of all of my presents yet, but I’ve been too busy playing with them! THANK YOU EVERYONE!!
Daddy took me out to play in the snow while we were there too. I didn’t really like riding on the sled though. Maybe next year.
But perhaps best of all (hard to believe, I know), I got to see my long lost friend Eli again!! He brought his Mommy and Papa over to play for the morning before leaving for France for a few weeks. We were really happy to see each other. I thought I would never get to see him again after our fun day before he moved.
As you can imagine, and, again, just like last year, I was tired out by all of this excitement and had to relax with a movie when I got home.
Hey everyone!
I got my first Christmas present early. It’s an awesome easel from my Grandma, Grandpa and Aunt Robyn and Uncle Ed. I LOVE IT!!
I’ve already whipped off a few masterpieces this afternoon, tried to clean my ear with a brush full of paint and and painted my Mommy’s arm. Rockin’!
Oh, here are some pictures and videos for your enjoyment. Just wait until Santa comes!
Hey everyone!
I have been seriously misled by my Mommy cum blog editor about the frequency of updates I can expect. I apologize to my fans.
On to an update: last night my parents did something really weird but so cool. They put my kitty in a box! Mommy said he needed to go to the kitty doctor. I thought it was really funny to see my kitty in a box. Here are some photos and videos. Sorry that the videos are sideways. That’s my Daddy’s fault. God, can a toddler get a good documentary staff anywhere? Seriously.
You’ll see that in one video, I notice I’m being filmed and pull my best cheese face.
As it would turn out, my kitty has a case of not-having-brushed-his-teeth-EVER and not rotten teeth. Oh well.
Hi everyone,
So it turns out that there was a reason Mommy kept going on and on about this silly pumpkin costume that I had to wear. Get this: if you wear a silly outfit outside and knock on people’s doors, they will give you free candy. I know! I too was extremely shocked to find this out. Anyway, I tried it and it worked so feel free to give it a go. I’m not quite sure why we haven’t done it since then, maybe because I still have candy left. Anyhoo.
It was a little confusing at first but I got into it fast. After I got back, I wrapped up my candy-filled evening with a nice reading of Green Eggs and Ham with my Grandpa Blaine who was visiting all weekend with my Grandma. We had lots of fun together. We went out for breakfast and I ordered yellow eggs, thank you.
p.s. Apparently, I missed Halloween last year, which might be a good thing because look what my dear parents did to me when I was wee.
kin, that is. Yes, that’s right. My Mommy and Daddy took me to get a pumpkin that Daddy is helping me make into a jackolantern! Here are some pictures of the first few stages and some videos of me helping Daddy. For now I call all fruits and vegetables ‘pomme’ (apple in French) just for simplicity’s sake. I could say pumpkin if I felt like it, I just don’t, ok?
p.s. I am NOT naked in those last two, as it would appear. I am wearing the top of my pjs and boxer shorts. For some reason Mommy and Daddy keep making me wear them instead of a diaper and ask me every 30 seconds if I have to pee. Ridiculous!
Hi!
I went to Boston last weekend to visit Mommy’s friends Sarah and Boris. They had a big house with lots of stairs and we went to the Boston zoo, which was awesome. And Sarah took lots of pictures! I know the fact that these aren’t all pictures of yours truly will upset some of my more loyal fans, but what can I say… try to enjoy the animals too. There’s enough of me to go around.
Love, Sam

| Sam's trip to Boston – October 2008 |
.
As promised, here are several videos from my trip: me dancing on the boat, me meeting the goats and a whole lot of (i.e. two) chickens. When I first got out west, I was such a star that everyone couldn’t stop taking photos of me. In the fourth video, you can see the papparazzi flashes while I’m just trying to make some oj. The last video features Chumley, the amazing, piano-playing dog in his internet debut!
Enjoy!
Hi everyone!
I am in muggy Montreal now, back from my adventures out west. Some of you might remember the last time I went there. I couldn’t even walk yet. This time was even more fun (walking makes a lot of things easier!). So, for those of my fans that have been asking for pictures-here are 96 action-packed photos from my trip! Enjoy. I’ll post more on how much fun I had and videos real soon.
Love to all, Sam
