Sorry it has taken me so long to put this post on here but I have been really busy!
These are pictures of Samuel's actual birthday. March 27, 2007. I had to go to class so Gigi babysat him. When I got home Mimi, Courtney, and Alle came over to wish him a good day and to play in the sand box Mimi and Poppa D gave him.
As you can see from the picture Samuel was NOT into playing in the sand! As soon as we sat him in it he started to cry and tried to get out! It was really strange. You would have thought that the sand was trying to kill him or that it was full of tiny little nettles! Alle Girl on the other hand did not mind at all. She just sat there looking at Samuel like he had lost his mind.
I tried to sit in it with him but no that did not help either, so after a few tries we thought it best if we left Alle in the sand and let Samuel swing.
Things changed as soon as he was in the swing and could not see the sand. He loves his swing! After a few minutes swinging it was Alle's turn to swing and Samuel got to play on the slide and watch Alle swing through the telescope on the fort. It was a very special day and I think Samuel still had fun even though he was a little tramatized by the whole playing in the sand thing. :)P.S. Samuel is still afraid of the sand box! Every couple of days I will take him out there to let him play in it and he does the same thing. Today he was in the swing and I brought him some sand in a bucket to let him touch, he freaked out! He pushed the bucket away so fast! I guess it will take longer that I thought it would to get him used to it. :)

I guess he is going to take after your dad--he didn't like to get dirty! Love the pictures! He's in a much better mood in the swing!
oh, no! what are you going to do at the beach for a whole week if he doesn't start liking sand!! ;) magdalena likes playing in the sandbox, but she's never sat in it - she's always on the edge of the box with a stick or her fingers pushing around the sand.
