Sam loves the blender. Loves. The. Blender. It makes a favorite substance ("mooshie"), has buttons, makes noise, and has a top. What's not to love?
(Side note: doesn't this picture make us look healthy and organized?)
Unfortunately, the blender is dangerous and, although toddlers may beg to differ and my laissez faire parenting style makes me want to deny it, it is not an appropriate plaything. The solution? We found an old, free blender, removed the blades and cut off the cord. He plays with it constantly. He also likes to ask to plug it in. Which sounds a little like he is saying something else:
Other things that Sam loves:
Sorting the silverware drawer
Using screwdrivers to "fick it" (fix it). That is, poke at every screw in the house. For some strange reason Jeremy does not allow Sam to play with real screwdrivers and forbade the practice. At least Sam got to enjoy the tools for a few days before cautious/killjoy Papa nixed the fun.
Putting on hats, shoes, mittens (especially if they belong to someone else)
Cuppy
Reading. Reading. Reading.
Favorites are Brown Bear, Wheels on the Bus (esp the page with the crying baby), Mr. Brown Can Moo, Snuggle Puppy, The Nose Book. He commands that we "sit!" to read and then he bounces his little feet in anticipation.
Cars and trains
Oh how I love this curious little kiddo
