Santa and Sam

This was Sam last year meeting Santa for the first time.

This is Sam yesterday with Santa.
To say the least, this encounter was much more amicable. He walked right up to him, shook his hand, jumped on to his lap and jabbered his ear off. Unfortunately we missed the free Santa at the ward Christmas party, and had to pay a pretty penny for this picture at the mall.

I also wanted to include some of the cute things Sam says these days.
  • He knows that his full name is Samuel Christopher Taylor. He calls Chris Daddy Christopher Taylor, and me Mommy Christopher Taylor. To him it makes sense. He also will yell my real first name when I'm not paying enough attention to him.
  • Whenever we say the words "guess what" he immediately answers, "I love you so much!"
  • When he wants something really bad that I'm not letting him have, he'll say "please!" and when I continue to say no he says "nice word, mom. Nice word!" meaning that since he said the nice word please, he can have whatever he wants.
  • He doesn't fully understand the word "promise." He thinks it means that he wants something really bad. For example, at the store if he sees a toy he wants, you'll often hear him say, "Promise to take it mom! Promise!"
Oh, what a funny little guy! I love this age!

Cute! I love what kids say...most of the time when you understand what they mean, they really are trying to be reasonable.

It's too bad we live so far away from one another. I think Sam and Peter would have the bestest of times together now.
