Sam's Favorite things: a photo diary

Blueberries, and raspberries which he calls "wash berries". This is a cake we made with some fresh blueberries, though Sam would rather have just the berries
Books... And more books this is one day of reading(;
He loves to be Superman. He rides his bike around our neighborhood saying "super man". (;
His chair, we bought for $20. We don't have any couches anymore, I was sick o trying to keep them clean. He loves to have his own special spot to sit.
Taking pictures. This is a wonderful self portrait. 
Penny, really all animals. But this little gal is especially patient. We weren't looking for a dog when she came to live with us, but I'm so glad she is here. She is so patient and sweet with Sam. She even lets him drag her around on a leash. She doesn't pull or get upset. Just a sweet little lady.
Talking on the phone. He loves to use the phone. He will talk to anyone.
Papa, he loves Papa and nana and grandma. They have great relationships. I look forward to watching them grow.
Coffee, we go on dates to Starbucks together every couple of weeks. I love my time with just him. We talk about books and bikes and cars. No phones or baby to take time away. 
Drumming, he is always making music of some sort. We got these noise makers at Story Book Island. Sam ran around drumming on everything and screaming "maca, maca, maca"(;
I believe his 2 favs are pictured here. Daddy. He wants to be just like daddy and have all daddies time and attention. His new bike is up there too. But he only likes to ride because daddy does. 
He still loves mommy. I'm so glad.
I don't think it's right to say Adalyn is his favorite yet. But he does love to hug, kiss, slap, kick ad squish her. I pray they build a strong friendship. 
He is almost potty trained. (;

He has been having Nightmares just about every night. So we stay up and talk about God. He is learning God is everywhere and that means God will "tect" him. He usually ends up in bed with us. Every night he asks where God is. I pray he fully understands Gods love someday. It will be difficult to watch him experience the trials that build great faith. But the end results are so worth it. 

I love you Sam.
