A Day of Fun
We awoke this morning to find a beautiful day waiting for us. Sam got dressed and was outside to play at 8:00 this morning. He did not return inside until I called him for lunch.
He ran in the yard, dug in the dirt, and pointed out the birds in the sky. One of his favorite activities, though, was doggie torture. He would start at the top driveway, call the dogs, and pet them a little bit. Then, he would run around the front of the house to the lower driveway and call the dogs down there. He would pet them a bit and then run back to the top driveway. He repeated this activity off and on all morning long. I call this doggie torture because they actually had to move and couldn’t just lay in the yard sunning themselves. Sam also enjoyed going down to the basement entrance, where my Grandmother lives, knocking on her door and then hiding in hopes of trying to scare her when she opened the door. He really found this rather hilarious! I’m not sure if she was as amused, though.
I had to call Sam in for lunch and then we fought over taking a nap. He cried. He said, “No, I sit on couch.” I responded by saying that he really needed to take a nap. He responded with, “No, I get up.” I tried explaining to him that he could not get up when he never went to sleep. He didn’t understand that concept. I finally did get him into his bed and he’s now having a good rest. I wonder what sorts of fun he has in store for us this afternoon.
