Sunday in the sink
One of Sam's favorite pastimes is playing at the kitchen sink. I run a super thin stream of water, then we select a variety of 'guys' and cups to use. He pushes a chair over to the counter and gets busy.
He fills up the cups and dumps them, bathes the toys, and so on, all the while giving me a running narrative of his work between snippets of conversations with the 'guys.'
He keeps it all contained to the sink area fairly well for a 2 year old, I think...leaving just some minor puddling around the edge and under the chair. I can't complain, it keeps him entertained for at least half an hour...in fact, that is how I was able to draft this entry. Plus it's totally educational, right?
Last week, Sam got into Tim's closet (it's an irresistible disaster). He found these weird laser- light blocking freak simmunition goggles. Simmunition as in simulated ammunition, I believe. It's dorky police training jargon. Anyway, if you ask me, they look more like those big crazy sunglasses really old people wear to drive. Here's Sam, ready to take off at an unreasonably slow speed in his Buick LeSabre:
He soon realized he wasn't getting anywhere fast, so the next morning he went back in and found our bicycle helmets:
Update: after I published this, Tim notified me that the fancy eye gear is actually just a pair of welding goggles. I didn't make up the simmunitions bit - Tim does do that, but apparently you don't need special glasses to do it. What do I know? I've never welded or used simulated ammunition. I've seen my dad weld, but he uses one of those creepy spacey looking helmet things that lifts up on a hinge. When I noticed that these goggles were super dark and blocked out everything, I assumed they were to be used with fancy lasers. I guess I'm just ahead of my time.
