About a month ago Sam exclaimed that he no longer liked his name and he wanted everyone to call him Tavi. Tavi is his school/neighborhood friend who shares a similar liking for make believe. Above you'll find them painting their "guy transporting rocket ship". This name changing business continued even on the first day of school when Sam saw his teacher and told her that he changed his name to Tavi. Here Sam or shall I say Tavi is with Evan heading off to his first day of three days a week preschool. While Sam is away Evan is constantly asking, "Where's Nammy?". Evan may have missed the name changing memo.
More recently Sam has decided that his name is Brooks, another friend who lives around the corner and happens to have a playroom as big as our whole place. Brooks , the real Brooks that is happens to love playing in our play closet. Anyways let me divert a little to somehow pull all of this together.
A couple of days ago Joe helped Sam catch a little lizard which they made a new home for in a jar with holes poked in the lid. After encouragement from myself and Grandpa Jim, the boys agreed to let the lizard free in our back patio. Of course the lizard is nowhere to be seen and Sam is anxious for a pet. He told me he wants a turtle that he can take care of in a little cage. Well this mama is not ready for a turtle just yet. So we agreed we would start with a fish.
It is my pleasure to introduce our very first pet fish named................................................Brooks. Yes I am sure you probably guessed the name and I am hoping that Sam will put the name changing business to rest for now.
Sam giving Brooks a hug. I told him he shouldn't put his hands in the fish bowl if he wants Brooks to live for more than a week. I'll keep you posted!
