Keys, basketball, and the swing!

Sam LOVES to play! And recently it seems that his 3 most favorite things to play with are:

#1--- Keys: Sam loves keys above anything else...even food! He likes to help me unlock the car door, the front door, the mail box, etc, etc, etc. He gets so frustrated with me because I won't let him just carry the keys around by himself...I don't want him to poke his eye out or put them somewhere where they'll never be found again!! He has become intrigued with our key rack and now sits or stands right underneath begging to hold or even touch the keys!!

#2--- Basketball: The kid loves this sport!! Everywhere we go Sam is always pointing out the basketball hoops and will proudly say "ba-ball" whenever he sees anything that even resembles a basketball. We were at Costco today and he nearly jumped out of the shopping cart trying to point to the basketball hoop that was on display. He has his own mini-basketball that he loves to carry around and even pretends to dribble now! Good thing our apartment complex has a basketball court or we'd be in trouble!!

#3--- The swing: Last but not least is the swing! Being pushed in the swing is another absolute thrill for Sam. After walking group each day at the park, Sam heads right for the swings and claps his hands together and begs to be pushed. I think he would stay in there all day if he could! Last night we played outside at our apartment complex...where we have both a basketball hoop and a swing. It was funny to watch Sam go back and forth, back and forth between the two...he just couldn't get enough of either one!

I am sitting here just laughing over the pictures of Sam reaching for the keys! I know..he LOVES keys! I was also amazed over how he suddenly just loved balls and learned to say BALL! He knew right where the basketball was in the corner of the garage. It is still there. I think of Sam each time I see it. What fun pictures! xoxoxo
