Crayons and Sand

So I pulled out the crayons Sam got for his birthday and thought I would give coloring a whirl. Well things started off slow ... and then they picked up fast when I tried to take them away before he ate them.

He tried them out - he had a hard time using them ... so I actually did most of the coloring.
Crayons are not FOOD. Sam seems to think otherwise. Who would of thought I had issues trying to get him to eat what we eat for dinner? Go figure. The crayons have been put away for now, we will try again in a few weeks.
Sam loving his new "frog chair." Lisa (neighbor) brought it over for him after he went to bed one evening. I put it in the middle of the living room floor for the next morning ... he loved it, he was jumping on it and dancing around it. I actually was able to get a sweet picture of him taking a rest on it.

We went to the beach in the morning on the 4th of July. This visit was a little more work than the first two. We got to the beach before Sam actually took a nap - thinking he might nap a little in the "totally cool, spf tent" we bought for him. WRONG!! Between Dan and I we made about 50 trips to the water with him to fill his bucket of water, only to have him dump it as soon as we made it back to the chairs. Lots of exercise at the beach on the 4th.

Wading in the water. Sam loved it.

Trip 37 to get more water.

Oh ya, he tried to drink the water and was a little surprised when he got a taste of it.

Maybe next time we go - we will play with the sand.

Sam helps his dad put together the Radio Flyer he got for his birthday. What a little helper.
