Samson wants a tank top. Julian and I happened to be wearing sleeveless tops to the park this morning, and Samson asked if we all “had to wear those shirts today”. I told him we didn’t and that I didn’t think he had a shirt like that. He asked if I could buy him one at the store. Funny how observant he can be. Feeling slightly left out because Julian and I “matched” and he didn’t. We had the best morning at the park today. We went to a park that we hadnt been to since last summer. Julian was particularly elated. He seemed to really love this particular playground. It was the perfect size for him and I could let him play freely with out having to hover over him (like I normally do on jungle gyms that are way to big for him). After a few times down the slide, he ran over to me and gave me a hug. I’m pretty sure he meant “Thank you for bringing me here! This is the coolest!”.
Tonight the boys loved watching daddy cut the grass for the first time this year. When I came outside Julian looked at me and said “Daddy – Cut – Grass!”. Im pretty sure this is his first 3 word sentence and he said it perfectly. I was extra amazed that he came up with it on his own, it wasn’t something I said to him that he repeated back to me.  They both watched but Julian waved and waved, each time Daddy passed by, and clapped enthusiastically when he was finished. I think to date, this is this the coolest most super hero like thing Julian has seen him do.
