Sam – Age 3, part 2
Again, I have to give my wife most of the credit for these – she wrote them down. I get to take some credit because I helped teach him to talk. Plus, DNA has to have some influence…

“It is shiny morning time”
CousCo (CousCous)
Dinasaurus Rex (Tyranysaraurus Rex)
Make Noise and don’t open any doors (after months of Natalie saying at Bedtime –make noise, check on me and don’t open any doors)
On Sunday…(the day that never comes. When he wants to do or have something he knows he won’t get, he says, “Can I have it on Sunday”. My answer is always yes, and then that is the end of it). He never quite realizes that Sunday does come once a week. We could be in trouble soon!!!
I help ants go free. That’s my job.
Look at the ants, they’re adorable!
Sitting on the disgusting couch at PV mall, he says “this couch is beautiful”
I want a frog, a snail, and a bird in a cage … on Sunday.
Limp (Blimp)
I spy with my little eye, something….airplane!!! “Is it an airplane, Sammy?” Yes!!!
Old Hot-donald had a chicken nugget
Oh, Picks (short for pickles, when he is in a rush!)
Mommy I have broken teeth. (his front tooth is chipped). I need new teeth at the teeth store.
Keep Me Comp-ny.
Mommy, I want you.
I’m mak-ed (naked)
Babing suit
Mctober Fronteenth (October 13th,when his bday is)
Wait, wait mommy. Wait. – waving arms, trying to plead his case (when he is facing a consequence)
Can we have chicken bones for dinner? –he likes chicken drumsticks!!
Sammy was standing by Peter’s sink. I wasn’t really paying attention to him. When Peter walked in Sammy guiltily ran over to my sink with his hands behind his back and said, “Nothing…” before a probing question could even be asked.
“Snow train” – Peter took a picture of the train in Durango and with the sun and the smoke, it made it look rather white, which it definitely is not. Sammy called it his snow train and insisted Peter print him out a few copies which he carried around for days. This was in the middle of the summer.
Sammy, can you pick up that toy? He says, “el zippo” meaning no. Sammy, what does el zippo mean? “hamma nontana says el zippo”
“Why do we have ears?” I said God gave us ears to hear. Sammy replied, “And he gave us hands to cover up our ears when the train is too loud”
“Leo has ‘my butt, my head, my butt, my head the movie” (The movie is really called Everyone’s Hero)
After Sammy got a spanking for running across a very busy street without permission he said “I see a lizard crossing the street without his mommy’s mission”
The sky is leaking (rain)
Is the table guy here? (cable)
Mommy, will you give me you? (wants me to sit with him)
When I was your age, mommy…
When I was Morgan’s age…
What time is it, Sammy? “It’s time o’clock”
Natalie spilled something on the floor and sammy cleaned it up. I thanked him for doing that and he said, “That’s what friends are for”.
The kids wanted to go to the zoo, not happening in the summer. Sammy was trying to think of the season we could go and he said, “we could go when that stuff is falling to eat and you stick out your tongue.” Natalie said, “Snowflakes!” Yes, Sammy, we can go in the winter!!
Can we watch that mommy show, ‘Kim and Aggie’?
I want to send a Halloween card to Leo for his birthday because he likes that. And I want to send a batman card to me!
While holding out his hand as in “talk to the hand” he said ‘Talk to the sparkles, Nico’ (one of our former foster sons)
Whenever he opens mail he reads, “Dear Leo, your invited in my party”
With a big stick from the yard, he goes into my closet and uses the stick to press the ON button for the house alarm
Mommy, look at me playing basket ball. I look over to find him BOUNCING a cantelope.
Vivie and Livie rhyme (we were talking about grandma vivie)
Gently and Bentley rhyme (when I ask him to touch Nicholas gently)
This little piggie had ‘mosbey’ (roastbeef)
While eating a huge bowl of trader joe’s new multi grain chips he was humming twinkle twinkle little star. Each time he would get a chip he would say, “Do you want to listen? This chip is about…” then proceed to hum it in the style of what the chip was about…dinosaurs, scorpions, doors, sticks, refrigerator, crickets.
What’s the baby’s name, Sammy? “His first name is Nick. His last name is Olas” (When Nicholas was with us.)
‘Have fun in there!” to each piece of clothing as he puts them in the washing machine.
“THIS IS LOUD! And this is soft, when you are sad because Leo isn’t your best buddy boy anymore. But I’m happy!”
While waiting for the trash truck to come he said, “if I abracadabra him (while making the universal sign, waving his finger, for abracadabra) that will poof him into our neighborhood. That’s called magic.”
While holding a strainer with a wooden handle, “Momma, can you open the door so I can catch a butterfly when the wind stops on Sunday?”
“Big fish, momma! I caught a big fish!” he says while wrestling Nico to the floor.
“Is this jail?” as he walks past a store with the gate/bars closed in front of it.
Morgan left his water bottle on the bus. Sammy said, “When I get a loosen tooth I will go on the bus and look for Morgan’s water bottle. I will look this way (to the right) and this way (to the left).” He thinks you when your teeth start to fall off you get to ride the bus and go to Kindergarten, like Morgan.
Upon seeing his buddy Chase when I brought Chase to pick Sammy up at school, he yells, “Hey Chase, remember when we made butt prints???!!??” One warm summer day after playing in the sprinkler they slid across the sidewalk and proudly made butt prints. We then went to Costco and the 2 boys shouted BUTT PRINTS through the entire store and just laughed hysterically. At least 1 old man was amused and said there isn’t any better sound. I have to agree!
