Why, yes.

Yes, he did dress himself this morning. Why do you ask?

JOYful

I MUST share a new discovery! LifeHacker.com, one of my daily must-reads, introduced me to PhotoJoy this week. And I am in LOVE! I've been playing with it for the last 30 minutes and I can hardly contain my excitement! (Oh, how I wish they would pay me to say that!) If you like using your own photos as your desktop or your screensaver, then you will also LOVE it. It is soooo incredibly easy to use!

Here's a look at PhotoJoy:

It is so incredibly hard to decide which desktop and screensaver to use. I downloaded them all just so I could switch whenever my little heart desires!

Here's my desktop as of a few minutes ago:

How cute is that?! See that little book at the bottom, center of the screen? I placed that there and it flips pages every few seconds. The other pictures change after several minutes. And isn't the old student desktop just gorgeous?! Seriously, I can't say enough about the program!

Hurry, go now and get your own! You, too, Jennifer! I promise y'all will have so much fun! Click on my desktop above to go to PhotoJoy's site. And, please share. I'd love to see your gorgeous desktops!

Sam’s Grand Finale

The last post in the series “Sam’s Vocal Recital.” 

Sam sings “God Said It” which he learned from his babysitter:

And his grand finale, “Apples and Bananas.”

Sam is turning out to be a very musical child.  He picks up songs after hearing them once and he has started making up his own songs.  I am pretty sure he’ll be an auditory learner and his phonemic awareness at such a young age bodes well for learning to read!  I, of course, couldn’t be happier!

As Promised…

Here are two more videos of Sam captured during a rare moment.  He sings all the time…but rare is the moment that I can actually record his performances.  This night, he was in a particularly giving mood! So I kept the camera rolling to capture as many songs as I could!

Sam singing the theme to Thomas the Tank Engine:

Thomas singing “I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly”:

Coming soon:  Sam sings “Apples and Bananas” and “God Said it”  (the last in the series!)

Surely You Heard Him!

Well, I finally finished helping Jennifer design her blog, so now I'll be able to turn my attentioin to my own, pitiful, broken blog. I hate that I'm missing all my links to other blogs and such. I'll get that fixed soon. Meanwhile, head on over to Jennifer's blog. She was featured today at The Secret is in the Sauce. So she had quite a busy blog day! Check her out and see why she has become so popular!

Now, I just have two more blogs to design (after I put mine back together) and then I'll be somewhat caught up!

Well, the real reason for actually posting tonight (when I should be doing paperwork) is that Sam gave us a concert tonight. Generally, to get a video of Sam performing, I have to follow him around for days. But tonight was special! I actually have four or five videos of him because he very willingly sang all of the songs on his current set list!

Did I say "very willingly?" Oops! I actually meant to say "very loudly!" Here's the first example with more to follow this week.
