Big Boy

And, Samuel-palooza continues...


Sam is a big boy.  He is poop-in-the-potty big.  He is stay-dry-through-the-night big.  He is get-himself-dressed big.  (See above.)

We played the "big boy" card so often while trying to get him to do those things, that he now thinks he is make-his-own-bedtime big, drive-the-car big, run-for-President big.


Me:  No, Samuel.  You may not have that [permanent marker].  That's not for little boys.

Sam:  I am a big boy.

Me:  Not big enough.

Sam:  But, I pooped in the restaurant potty.


How can I even start to explain this to him?

  1. Well - I haven't been around for a while, and I've just caught up with the last few of your posts. Samuel's clearly a pretty sorted person! We do that Saturday morning, staying in bed, letting the kids sort out their fights thing. Love it.

  2. Sometimes I think that's all that's required to be President. lol.

    Love the shoes...doesn't look too comfortable to walk that way, but makes a really cute portrait of independence!

  4. Yeah, that one does come back to bite us sometimes! Big is a relative term - would that make sense to Sam? Ha ha.
