This is probably the best picture of our family that has ever been taken. It's two years old.
I was looking at it this morning at breakfast and remarked to Rich how much Sam has changed! He doesn't even look like that anymore. And also how much Josh has grown. We chatted for a bit about how we need to get a new picture of all of us, but it's so hard when your kids pull silly faces every time the camera gets pulled out....
Then I noticed that today Sam is wearing the same Thomas the Tank Engine shirt that Josh has on in the picture.
Sam asked to see the picture so I showed him.
Sam: Sammy's the big boy, Joshie is the baby.
Me: No Sammy, you're the baby, Josh is the big boy. See that's you when you were a baby.
Sam (starting to get upset): NO! That's me! (pointing to Josh) I'm the Big Boy! That's my Thomas Shirt, I want to wear it!
At this point, Rich and I start laughing....
Me: Yes, that's right Sam, that's your shirt. But it used to be Joshie's favorite shirt. Now it's yours.
Sam (crying): Take it off! I want to wear it! It's mine!
Aw, Sam is such a cute little guy! And I know what you mean about the family photo - our last one was at least 8 years ago. I must remedy that soon!
