Love thy neighbor
Recently Sam has been saying to me when I leave to work, “Bye! I love you! Have a great day!” Today our neighbors were headed out to their car.
Adryon: Bye, have a good day!
Sam (4): Bye! I love you!…As neighbors.

Josh: No! Shoe!
Dada: Do you want your shoes on?
Josh: No!
Sam: Josh, do you want one shoe off and one shoe on?
Josh: (smiles and nods intoning, “yeah, you get me”)
Mama!
Josh (18m): Mama! Mama! Mama!
Mama: Yes, Josh?
Josh: Mama!
Mama: Yes, Josh?
Josh: Hi, Mama.
