I've been feeling badly that I haven't documented more of the adorable things that Hannah and Ellie say during our day. So, I'm going to try and make a better effort, starting right now!
Last night Hannah was trying to come up with excuses as to why she couldn't (or shouldn't) be going to bed. After getting out of her bed one time, she explained that she couldn't go to sleep because she kept "thinking about my bad dreams." I suggested, "Try to think about the Arboretum (we're headed there today for a visit) or sing some nice songs to yourself." She said, "I can't Mom, I can't control my head!" I chuckled to myself and left the room and didn't hear another peep out of her. Such a sweet thing...can't control my head!
Just this morning Ellie gave me a cutie little quote I had to add here...we were driving by a corn field - yes, we do have corn fields here in the suburbs of Chicago...granted, they're stuck between Wal-mart and a large warehouse or school, but alas, we do have produce growing nearby!. Anyway, as we drove by, Ellie exclaimed, "Look Mommy, popcorn!" She just makes me smile. (usually) :O)
And now, about Sam...
It's never too early to start teaching kids to feed themselves, is it? Okay, maybe it is...here's our young man attempting to feed himself a little yogurt.
To be honest, I needed to keep him occupied for a bit and this seemed like a fun way to do it. Yes, it was messy, but hey, he had a ball!

Oh. My. Word. S. I can't believe the yogurt! Good for you for letting him play--Next time try giving it to him in the bathtub! Great post :)
gerrit's a year older and not much better with yogurt! he does attempt to clean up his drips as a wash cloth is a must on the table! (even though the wash cloth is meant to clean him up, he likes to make sure the table is clean too!) there's hope that sam will clean himself up too! :)
