Our Little Mimic

Sam has become quite the little mimic lately. He loves to copy what everyone does. Tonight at church was a prime example. He saw me bow at the altar, so he decided that he needed to bow too, although he had his head almost to the floor! He also had to kneel right next to Daddy when he was praying. We said the Lord's prayer and he was good and held hands the whole time, although he raised his hands at the end and said "yay!". I think that one is my fault though. We have taught him the grace "Rub a dub dub, thanks for the grub, yay God!" So he thinks that every prayer needs to end with "Yay!"
He loves to be the center of attention too. He was acting goofey and making some of our parishoners laugh. His response was to throw his head back and laugh. I know that this is normal behavior for a 20 month old, but it is so comical when he does it because he is soooo dramatic.

Sleeping Warrior

So...tonight we had our first real meal-time "battle." In all reality it probably ended up in a draw. But, as you can see our little "warrior" tuckered himself out a bit - literally cried himself to sleep in his highchair. It's times like these that make it impossible to stay frustrated at him for too long. That being said, our quiet little boy seems to be revving up for the so called "terrible twos" a bit early. On the other hand, the good times still far outweigh the not-so-good times. We truly are blessed. He keeps us laughing and on our toes almost nonstop.
