Today we were all sitting at lunch eating and Samuel announces (as he normally does while we are eating at a public restaurant) that he has to go "poo poo". David tells Samuel, "Ok, let's go." And they head on to the restroom.

David takes Samuel into the stall and helps Samuel with his pants. Samuel climbs up onto the toilet and goes "number 1"

Then Samuel says, "all done"

D: Samuel, I thought you said you had to go poo poo?

S: (Shrugging his shoulders and turning both hands up to the ceiling) MY BOTTOM SAYS NO


He will be VERY happy when he is a teenager and we bring this up.

TOES???

Samuel asked Daddy to open his box of hot wheels this morning.  After opening the box Daddy went through the cars asking Samuel what each one was:

D:  What's this one?

S:  Ambulance

D:  This one?

S:  Fire Truck (and so on......)

D:  How about this one?

S:  I don't know. What is it?

D:  It's a Tow Truck

S:  IT PICKS UP TOES?

Playing by the light of the Night Light...

All was quiet in the Clubb household after Samuel was "asleep" in bed.  Then suddenly, a loud crash from his room.  I went to his room, only to find him standing in the middle of his room, holding a stuffed animal and surrounded by a sea of toys...

Daddy:  Samuel, what are you doing?

Samuel: (very sheepishly):  Umm, Umm, Umm, something in here made a loud noise...

Daddy:  What made a loud noise?

Samuel: (again, very sheepishly):  Umm, Umm, I don't know...it just made a loud noise...

Daddy:  Samuel, get back in bed...

He grinned like a sly little fox, and ran and jumped back in bed...

I think he was actually convinced that he outsmarted me....I wonder what that loud noise was?  Hmmm?

HUGE!!!!!

This little "toddlerism"  happened just last night and I will remember the exact conversation for YEARS to come!

We were getting ready for  a bath last night and Samuel was running around; trying everything he could to NOT get into the bath.  I asked him to take off his clothes and instead he would run up to me from behind and then push on my bottom. At some point I was able to lean down and get his pants off.  During all this running around, Samuel said something to me about running and hitting my bottom.  Then here is where that led to:

M:  Yes, Samuel you have a bottom too.  You have a little bottom

S:  No mama. I have a big bottom.  I am a big boy so I have a big boy bottom.

M:  Oh yea, Samuel that's right.  You have a Big Bottom b/c you are a Big Boy!

S:  Mama, you have a HUGE BOTTOM!!!

I am not feeling so great about that right noW.  The truth really does hurt!

THE HAIRCUT

SAMUEL WENT WITH HIS DADDY AND PAPAW TO GET A HAIRCUT A FEW WEEKS AGO.  hERE IS HOW (ROUGHLY) THE CONVERSATION WENT:

S:  Daddy are we getting our haircut?

D:  Yes, buddy we are.

S:  ARe you getting your haircut too?

D:  We are all getting our haircut, why?

S:  But Daddy,  I have more hair than you....you don't need  a haircut.....you don't have any hair.....

Needless to say David was depressed all day.  How do they know just how to hit us where it hurts....even at this young age?

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010!

So with the new year upon us I have decided to change our blog content a little.  Since Samuel has been talking so much this past year, David and I find ourselves cracking up constantly with some of the things Samuel comes up with.  I decided to share some of Samuel's "TODDERLISMS"  WITH EVERYONE.

SO TO BEGIN......

YESTERDAY SAMUEL WAS PLAYING IN OUR BATHROOM WHILE I WAS GETTING READY TO LEAVE. sAMUEL HAD A PLASTIC MUSICAL FLUTE-TYPE INSTRUMENT IN HIS HAND AND WAS USING IT TO 'REPAIR' THE BATHROOM CABINETS FOR ME.

SAMUEL:  "MOM I AM FIXIN' THIS FOR YOU'

MOM:  YOU ARE?

SAMUEL (VERY SERIOUSLY, SAYS):  "YES MOM, THIS (SHOWING ME THE MUSICAL INSTRUMENT) IS VERY 'DECALET'"

OF COURSE WHAT HE REALLY MEANT WAS "DELICATE"  BUT I AM SECRETLY HOPING THAT HE CONTINUES TO SAY IT THE WAY HE DID YESTERDAY....SO FUNNY!

David thinks Samuel looks like he's up to NO GOOD in this second photo!
