Fighting the Heat

This week has been pretty hot in KC and yet Samuel still wants to spend every minute outside. We try to entice him with anything but he would still prefer to be outside. So we have tried to find things to stay cool outside, from water buckets, water activity centers, slip and slide, and sprinklers. Samuel was pretty nervous about the sprinkler at the beginning of the week but after they had it at daycare this week and he saw all of his buddies running in them he can't get enough. The giggle that comes out of our little man is priceless when the water just barely touches him. We try to keep a hat on him but he wants nothing to do with it and rips it off as soon as we get it on. These days Sam has also become very interested in birds. Whenever he sees ones he starts talking a million miles a minute and runs to try and catch them. Even though we can't understand anything but bird from what he is saying we nod our heads and follow him all around the block.

Finally, I had to include a picture of Sam's new favorite toy, his corn on the cob. We have had corn on the few times recently and he has to have his own cob and then even after he finishes it he doesnt want to let it go and walks around the house with it. The dogs have even gotten bored with it realizing there is nothing left!
