He has been out of Mommy's belly almost as long as he was in it. We asked him today which nine months he liked better, the first or the second. He said he liked this past nine months better, but only because there were dog bowls to splash in and eat from. The first nine months "were really comfortable and really laid back," Sam exclaimed, "so they are a close second."
He took a couple of long naps today, but only because he didn't take any yesterday. Mommy played outside with him alot while Daddy was at school. She stood Sam up against the slide at the playground to take a picture of how well he stands up now, but he promptly sat down and stuffed his mouth full of gravel. Mommy had to pin Sam down to take it out of his mouth, which frustrated Sam because he wanted the gravel. I guess he wouldn't have put it in his mouth if he didn't want it there. Amy and I have got to learn that some times Samuel knows best.
Daddy gave him a bath tonight and we sang the song "splashie splashie splashie splashie splashie splashie splashie splashie bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah (repeat 15,000 times with no breaks or pauses)." That is Samuel's favorite bath song, and he has a wild time while we sing it. It also is very annoying to others. Then Daddy took a stab at putting him to sleep, and succeeded! (after being soundly defeated and defering to Mommy last night)
Overall it was a great day, and we think Samuel enjoyed himself.

This is a hystierical story. As a parent of 4 children within 5 years, we have many of those. You just have a way of putting it into words.
I just realized you and your wife both post on this blog. You both are great writers. I look forward to reading more.
