Conversations about Santa and second breakfasts

Sam and I went to Target last week.  They have all of their Christmas decorations up and this year that have Santa's face hidden in all of them.  He is falling backwards so you can't see him, or his list is in his face, etc.  When Sam saw it he said "after we done with Target can we go to another store and then come back when Santa is done playing peek-a-boo so we can see him?".  I tried to explain he would always be hiding but he wasn't going for it.  We haven't been back to the store yet but I can imagine the discussion that will occur when he sees that his face is still hiding.

This morning I gave Sam a breakfast bar and told him he would get breakfast after we took Megan to school.  The moment I handed her off to her teacher he started saying "can I have a second breakfast now?".  I told him that little boys don't eat two breakfasts, only hobbits.  He said "I am a hobbit".  Perfect!

Last day of t-ball and Super Sam

Today was Sam's last t-ball game.  He loves having something be about him and the social aspect of it but he has been really into playing the past several games.  We plan on signing him up for something that has a lot more movement, like soccer, in the spring.  Of course we will not be telling him about it until time for practice because I don't want to hear about if it is time for soccer every day between now and then.

Sam is loving his "Super Sam" costume.  He has worn it several times and is sleeping in it tonight.  This is such a cute stage to watch him in.

Carnival

We drove past the carnival when it was being setup on Thursday afternoon.  Sam saw the Ferris Wheel and asked what the very, very big steering wheel was all about.  I told him what it was called and he asked if he could get on it right now.  He asked if it went fast and I told him no (boy was I wrong on that one) and he asked again if he could ride it.

Today before nap I told him we would be doing something very fun after nap and he asked if we were going to ride the Ferris Wheel.  He was so excited, when I went to get him up he said "it is time to ride the Ferris Wheel, I am very very excited and so happy.  Are you happy?".

He loved all of the rides.  This carnival was run by people who LOVE to go fast; every ride was moving way faster than I have ever seen them go.  On one ride Megan was a little uncertain and leaned over and I watched the operator ease up on the pedal to slow the ride down until she was okay and then he floored it again.

We saved the Ferris Wheel for last.  I video'd it because that thing was flying.  I am thinking at least 3 rotations for every 1 of a regularly moving one.

Sam was not too happy to leave the carnival and asked if we could go back after dinner.
