so…here we are, the end of the year. Will this be a recap of 2007? No; just a recap of the awesomeness that is my son…
While walking walking around the mall yesterday:
Sammy: [fuss, fuss, fuss, whine, whine, whine]
Me: What’s wrong Sammy? What do you want?
Sammy: Booty!
Now, he might have been hungry and wanted some Pirates […]

so…last night, after Sammy’s bath, he leaned over to me and said:
“Dad, not just knee deep, she was totally deep, when she did the freak with me.”
Clear as day!
What can I say? He loves the P-Funk!
ok…well, maybe not that clear. More like: “dadadad, mamamamama, musmusmusmus, pabpabpabpabpab, nee nee nee neeq, tah tah tah, ty ty […]

so…Ant Invasion 2007 has commenced in our kitchen, and I’ll go on the record as saying I support a reduction in troops immediately!
Fucking ants!
I thought we were going to luck out this year, because the invasion usually occurs in the spring, but nooooooo, we’ve got to be in some bizarre El Niño con mi primo […]

so…when you were in, oh, maybe, kindergarten, or first grade, were you taught to always walk on the right when on the stairs or in a hallway?
well, nobody that I work with was EVER taught that!
AND they like to walk side-by-side down the hallway that only has room for two people…and look at you […]

so…I just got this email from Erika:

Subject: Sammy says hi

bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb
m bvggb hvg f

That just made my day.
…and it’s probably one of the most intelligent and comprensible emails I’ll get all day.

so…last night will go down in history as the Great Hair Buzzing Incident of 2007: I butchered Sammy’s hair.
In my defense, he was moving a lot — I basically had to crawl around on the floor behind him. And my intentions were to leave an inch, but my clippers had other plans.
As Erika has said, […]

so…my mom got Sammy a Thomas the Train book for his birthday — the kid LOVES trains!
The book is a little old for him. It’s one of those storybooks with the little plastic panel along the outside edge — throughout the story there are icons that relate to these little buttons on the panel, and […]

so…Sammy turned a year old, and with that milestone comes a dreaded trip to the pediatrician for 12-month vaccinations.
Now, Sammy is in a group of high risk kids that needs to get a monthly RSV shot during the winter months. You would think that the repetitive trips to the doctor’s office would create an air […]

so…Sammy might be days — or maybe hours — from walking, and we all know what happens then…his world, and the number of little girls that will not be able to resist his charms, grows exponentially.
Lock up your daughters!

so…Saturday was Sammy’s first birthday!
I am pretty much without word to describe what a year it has been and how amazed I am everytime I look at him. If parenting wasn’t such an engaged activity I would sit in a corner to watch him explore life — he finds enjoyment in everything, including the […]
