365:244 - a little man

365:244

This evening, we went outside to play as the sky was turning dark just to let the boys get some wiggles out. I captured this shot of Samuel and I'm not quite sure if he was distressed, concerned, or that I just caught him with an inquisitive expression, but I noticed he looks like such a little man here in this photo. I can't believe how big he is. 3.5 years old. Where has time gone?

365:243 - monkey's different

A while back, Joshua and I purchased an extra "Monkey" just in case something happened to Samuel's beloved Monkey like if we lost him, he got dropped in mud, etc. Recently, we noticed that Monkey was starting to look a little tattered and stinky (it's very hard to wash a stuffed animal when the best time to do laundry is during nap time or bedtime). So, we decided to pull out the brand new, clean, fluffy Monkey for Samuel to enjoy. Well, Samuel was totally onto us! He could tell the difference almost instantly and it was so heartbreaking! He kept saying things like, "I can't smell him!" "His eyes are different!" "His tail is too fluffy." Eventually, he was okay holding him but he definitely knew something was not right. That evening, we all took a trip to the laundromat and were able to get the old Monkey clean. Even after he was clean, Samuel was a little skeptical and it took some time to convince him that the Monkey we washed was truly his favorite Monkey. (He still doesn't know that there are, indeed, two Monkeys)

This Saturday was the first Gator game of the season. Unfortunately, the game got cancelled/postponed due to weather. This guy was sportin' his Gator gear, though!
