Sam the Whale

Meet Sam the Whale.

He's been making appearances around our house for the past 2 or 3 weeks. As a mom, I LOVE when Sam the Whale is around. Life not only becomes more interesting but easier too.

For instance, Sam the Whale loves nap time. In fact, he gets overly excited to climb aboard his whale bed and snuggle up with his seaweed blanket to rest for a couple of hours in the warm ocean. Sam the Whale is also an amazing eater. He loves to show off his powerful whale teeth and will gladly munch through ANYTHING I feed him...broccoli, carrots, turkey sandwiches, bananas, green beans, etc. Sam the Whale is also so obedient. He loves to use his fins and tail to swim quickly to the car, get in and out of the bath tub, and clean up his toys. What more could a momma whale want?

Sam the Whale also has a great sense of humor and will often try to squirt water at us during dinner. We have to be paying close attention because it can be difficult to see that imaginary water coming at you. He also loves to tease Baby Max, the fish, by patting his face and belly with his big fins.

Here's Sam the Whale in action...squirting water out of his blowhole.
And here he's splashing with his big tail.

The only hard part about Sam the Whale, is that I never know when he's going to come around. I would love it if he stuck around 24/7.
