Tonight for dinner we brought in some Thai food. Sam ate it with gusto; he hogged all the baby corn and a fair share of the rice. However, the zucchini really touched his funny bone. Everytime Mom would say the word, he would burst out laughing. Not just a giggle, but a belly laugh so long and so loud, it cracked us up. This comedy routine went on for the remainder of dinner and into bath time. By the end of his bath, Sam was saying “zucchini” himself (well, pretty close). Who knew that vegetables could be so entertaining.

Shofar Sam
Amy brought out her shofar this afternoon to remember to bring it to tonight’s services closing out this year’s Yom Kippur. Sam won’t make it through the service and the subsequent break-fast party, so he’ll be home with a sitter tonight when the horn is blown in synagogue. Next year, perhaps! Amy demoed the ram’s horn, and Sam had to give it a try as well. Results pictured above!
All the Kiddies….
Amy and I spent the Rosh Hashanah weekend with her family in Rochester, and Sam had a grand old time playing with all his cousins. Here’s a quick link to the gallery of photos.
Super Grover at CNN Center
Heading to lunch at my favorite Asian fast food joint at work on Thursday, 
I noticed an awful lot of disembodied Elmo heads floating around the CNN Center atrium. Ah, I thought – Sesame Street Live is in town. And, since Sam seems to be infatuated with Grover, Elmo, Cookie Monster and the rest of the clan, I thought he’d just love to head out on Saturday morning – plus that should work as a good way to tire him out since I had baby-duty the rest of the day while Amy played two performances of Beauty and the Beast at the Fox. The storyline featured Grover SuperGrover getting the help of all his buddies in trying to find his lost “superness.” Despite the audio being way too loud, especially for a bunch of kids’ ears, the show was a lot of fun. Sam had a grand old time, could barely stop talking to and pointing at his favorite characters and we (of course) came home with one of those giant-headed Elmo balloons. Forgive the photo quality above – it’s with my VX6700 camera phone, and not all that wonderful. But the subject was too cute to pass up.
