We went to two different festivals last weekend. The first one was local and okay, but the only things for kids were giant inflatables. I took Sam into one and thought he would enjoy it - he did not. He wanted to get out after less than a minute. He loved the bouncy pillow several weeks ago, but maybe because this was enclosed it didn't seem the same to him.
After the festival bust we went to a local pick-your-own strawberry farm. Sam was excited to see that he was allowed to eat the strawberry after he picked it. I helped him eat one and then told him to follow me down the aisle to find more - the area where we were had mostly green berries. I turned around to catch him plucking a berry off the plant by himself. He held it up and said "strawberry eat". I told him he could eat it and then leaned down to pick a berry myself. When I looked back at him a couple of seconds later I saw the leaves of the berry entering his mouth. He chomped a couple of times and swallowed. Oh well.
The second festival was the next day and was a small version of the State Fair. Sam got to ride a pony for the first time and eat a corn dog and share daddy's turkey leg (which he really liked). He also enjoyed riding the kiddie train which he called the baby choo-choo train.
A couple of days ago I was peeling a banana for Sam. It was a bigger one that he normally gets and when I got it out of the peel he looked at it and said "WOW" in a very astonished tone. Later that day we were playing with a blanket on the couch. At one point I was pretending to be asleep and was using the blanket as a pillow and he tried to take it away from me. I said "don't steal my blanket" and he giggled. A few minutes later he grabbed the blanket and said "I steal your blanket". Sam was in timeout and was moaning/whining (difficult to describe the noise he was making) about being in the chair. He kept making that noise for a while and finally I said to him "zip it" in an almost sing-songy voice and he immediately replied with "zip it" in an almost snarky voice. Will and I both busted up laughing and had to walk around the corner.
