Hugh Hefner

Well, we had another bad van morning. The van came back with Sam right after it left and the driver said he was getting out of his seat and did M think he would settle back down. M said no, not now that you've brought him back, and took him to school himself. It's hard to explain how the same consequences that would work for other kids won't work with Sam. And yet, we know he needs to behave himself to stay on the van. Fortunately, I was home to watch the little person, so it wasn't a big deal to take Sam to school. But, we don't want to do it everyday.

On the other hand, it's not all bad. Sam came home and put on his pajamas and his red chenille robe and spread out the classifieds and started pointing to all the junk he wanted. Like Trix cereal and gummy bears. Not gonna happen, kid. I did give him some organic gummy snacks I found at Whole Foods (somehow made with juice makes it better). Funny kid.
