Sam Pirate

Sam is very into being a pirate these days - we let him watch Peter Pan a few times and now his bed is a pirate ship, and he carries around his "booming" machine (which is a wooden flute) and his sword (which is a green piece of wood from a log cabin set) and wears a straw cowboy hat to complete his pirate get-up.

He says that we are a family of pirates and I am momma pirate, Geoff is Daddy pirate and Charlotte is baby pirate.   He has also commandeered Charlotte's plush toy kitten, which he calls his pirate cat :)

Every time we go to the park, all the play structures are pirates ships as well.   And his favorite books right now are all on the same topic ;)

Here is a picture from the museum today that Sam wanted Fer to send to me :)

He is getting into naming all his toys and "pets" and has the following pets currently.

1) Ozzie the the snake - which is a black piece of construction paper I cut into the shape of a snake
2) Stripper - his plastic toy whale
3) Lady & the Tramp - his "puppy" which is a wooden barrel loader from his train table
4) Science - Charlotte's plush toy cat
5) Pins and stick - his original plush toy cat  that we left at the lake a month or so ago, Sam says that the cat is very sad to be there alone, but we assure him Granddad visits and takes care of him on the weekends :)
