Lucy,
No pictures with this again, but regardless, I had to put this one down in writing for posterity. Tonight, I was giving Sam a bath (possibly because that was the only thing that was keeping him from screaming bloody murder--tonight was not a good night! And funnily enough, he doesn't usually like baths, but tonight, he was calm.) You, as usual, were the big helper (which you have started calling yourself recently, "Mom, I'm the BIG HELPER.") and were trying to wash his tiny body with your hands, so I let you wash his feet. Daddy was encouraging you to play "this little piggy" with his toes, which you have always like to do to our toes. I was washing Sam's body with a washcloth, and you happened to notice his, well...how to put this delicately...male part.
WARNING--THERE IS NOTHING DELICATE ABOUT THE REST OF THIS POST!
You inquired of Daddy and I, "What's that?" I was prepared for this moment, and calmed responded, "That is his penis." And I was planning on leaving it at that. You said, "Oh," paused for a moment, and then said, "I don't have a weenis." Daddy and I looked at each other, stifled a giggle at your very cute pronounciation, and said, "No, you're right, you don't." I again foolishly thought the conversation was over, until you proceeded with, "Ben has a weenis. But I don't have one. And Lydia doesn't have a weenis." You were quite serious, and quite correct, I might add, but it was just too cute to hear those kind of proclamations out of your mouth at almost 32 months old.
You then tried to tickle Sam's "weenis" to which Daddy responded, "We don't tickle boy's penises, Lucy." I'm pretty sure he didn't think he would have to tell you that so early in your life. Ah, the things that we have learned by being your parents. :) And that was that...but I'm pretty sure that this conversation will crack you up when you are older....MUCH older...in the meantime, it gave Daddy and I a much needed smile and a break from Sam's fussing.
love,
Mommy/Mom/Jennie

Nee-ha!!!
Lucy,
You crack both Daddy and I up. You are hysterical! One of your latest exploits was riding the horse in Sam's room. It came from Aunt Christi and Uncle Tom and you were scared of it for a long time, but now you love it. I don't know where you figured out that you were supposed to say "yee-ha" when you were riding it, but you spontaneously started yelling it, and thankfully Daddy had his ipod to record the image for all posterity. However, your "yee-ha" came out as "mee-ha" or "nee-ha", which makes it even funnier.
You amuse us every day. You have a knack of driving us crazy and then sidling up to us and asking in a sweet voice, "Are you happy, Mommy?" And then once you do what I've been asking you to do (over and over again!), you ask me, "Are you happy NOW, Mommy?" I have to give you points for gumption. Happy Friday!
love,
Mommy/Mom/Jennie
P.S. To all you blog readers, make sure you comment. It's nice to know who is reading it, and I'm hoping to hear from you all!

Smiles-they make it all worthwhile...
Sam, you made the last few weeks of sleepless days and rough nights worthwhile with these smiles! I figured it was worth it to share it with the world because it made ME so happy--how could it not inspire world peace? And there you are again...not sleeping. :)

Spring has sprung!
I would have some pictures in this post if it were not for my slippery fingers. I dropped our camera and broke the lens! Lucy and Sam, we were finally able to go to the playground for the first time this season/year yesterday evening. After a "dipping" dinner (homemade chicken fingers, oven fries and sauteed zucchini), we headed out to the playground so that Lucy could tackle the slides. We weren't the only ones with that idea--the playground was busy with tons of kids.
Lucy, you had no fear and all of a sudden, I found you at the top of one of the biggest slides there! Last year, you were terrified of the slides and swings, and this year, no fear on the slides. You certainly don't share my aversion to heights. Even Annabelle made a new friend--a boxer/pitbull mix named Jimmy. All in all, it was a great night--it was so nice to get outside.
Sam, you have not been sleeping during the day for more than 20 minute intervals, so when you were sleeping after dinner, we didn't want to wake you up. We instead kept you in your swaddle, strapped you in your carseat/stroller and started our walk! The pediatrician thinks that perhaps your acid reflux is bothering you which is why you wake up 20 minutes into a nap, so we're going to give a few different things a try. In the meantime, I spend my days rocking and swaddling and nursing you in an attempt to get you to sleep!
Lucy, you have started to say, "Mommy, thank you for making dinner!" each night, and it makes me grin from ear to ear. You're also clearing your dishes from the table and insisting on rinsing them. I am not going to argue with that, although you are usually pretty sopping wet after that task.
This weekend, Alie took pictures for us of you guys for us. I can't wait to see them! We were able to go to Faust Park on Saturday afternoon and play with all sorts of new friends--Izzy and Andy, Oliver, Abby and Keira, Mikey and Spencer and Toby. It was quite the crew, and Lucy, you were so excited to play soccer for a little bit! We had cupcakes and cake to celebrate Kelly and Alie's birthdays, and we played all afternoon. It was great! Then that evening, we had to clean you up Lucy--Sam had stayed clean of course, but you had been digging in the dirt and playing everywhere. We also ran into your friend Tyler (from Ms. Sheri's) and Clary, who was photographing a wedding. Lucy, you have been asking about your friends from the park since then!
You can see some of the pictures that Alie took at www.shutterbugdigitalimages.blogspot.com
In the meantime, there won't be any pictures with this post. There are some on the camera that I'm waiting to pull off to post, so this post might get some additional pictures if I can ever upload them.
