  Sammy has developed the strange habit of walking around the house with one mitten on. It is very cute. Whenever we see him Ron & I say "Hey Michael Jackson" or start singing "Thriller" Sam took a 1.5 hour temper tantrum today because we had to leave the park. I had this insane idea that I could sit in the van with my cup of tea while they played. Immediately Sam went out of eyesight and Sarah & Matt headed towards the ocean shore. I had to cut the play time short after an hour because I was freezing. I thought that I would just go home and have a cup of tea and read my book.
But No. Sammy's temper tantrum only ended when I snuggled with him in my bed and read Bob the Builder books to him. Once I let go of my expectations of time to myself, it was fun to snuggle with him. We're looking for a good mechanic in Halifax - you know the type - honest, skilled, etc. Anyone have any suggestions? ~Marsha
