We've been looking after Nellies dog while she has been away this week and Sam has loved every second. I know he'd love it if we got a dog (and Bryan would too) im the only one that knows it would be a bad idea!

Sam has a vocabulary of over 200 words now. He can make me understand what he wants 90% of the time. I try and catch his words on camera, but of course as soon as the camera goes on his interest in talking is over. The latest valuable addition to his repertoire of words is...'BOOBIES'. Three guesses who taught him that one!! He now finds hilarious to say 'mummy, boobies please'

Today Sam wouldn't go down for his usual nap. Infact, he some how opened his 'child proof' baby gate and appeared downstairs. This is a disaster for Sam who usually likes and NEEDS his sleep. He very often sleeps for 3hours during the day. So, its almost 4pm here now and we are both suffering. Sam is acting like the world is coming to an end and I have had enough. Bryan has escaped to work (lucky him) so im willing the time away until I can put him down for the night (around 6:15pm is probably the earliest). The count down is on...just over 2hours of hell to go wooohooo!!!
