Life Would Be So Boring Without Him

Quieter, but boring.

I was helping Abby upload some photos from her camera and I ran across these videos.  This first one is a little slow-starting, but notice their issue with the big wheel seat.  It will come into play later.

And now a little something called "No Seat?  No Problem!"

Then he moved on to this one.  The seat falls off this one, too, and he quickly abandoned it for the other two.

He did this for a couple of hours that day--and bore the marks to prove it.  Let's just say that if anyone were to check his backside, we might have found ourselves being investigated by Child Protective Services.

Here's a few more pics of his antics that day.  Sorry they're not the greatest quality, but I think you get the idea.

I spend a fair amount driving around.  Piano lessons, choir, gymnastics, doctors appointments, etc.  And most of that time I have four kids in the back.

Yes, I was driving--a very lonely stretch of road in southern Lincoln County in Nebraska.  And I was trying to stay awake.

So, when I occasionally find myself in a vehicle with only half my crew, I'm often amazed at how much quieter it is.  But I should know that if Samuel is with me and it's quiet, I should be worried.

And yes, he does have glasses now.  Remember this?   Turns out that all that eye-crossing wasn't good.  That right eye was drifting in whenever he tried to change his focus from far away to up close.  Glasses could be a short-term thing for him, unless he develops other vision problems.  I've become and expert eyeglass adjuster--I fix them daily it seems.  We just got him some different ones that fit his face better.  That seems to be helping.

It's been a long week--Noah's been sick this week and Jason was gone.  I was up a couple of nights with him without a break during they day.  But on a much more up-beat note, we just finished Week 17 of school.  We're officially half-way done!
