A new word.....

This week Sam wore an outfit that a friend had given me and it had Goofy on it. After we took it off and put it in the dirty clothes he went and got it out, threw it on the floor (so the front could be seen) and pointed at Goofy and said, "dog" for the first time! After that he wanted to carry around the shirt and kept saying it. He even did a good attempt at a bark! Later that day I had a twinge of sadness that he never really got to know our dog of 15 years and that we know longer have him. We are not desiring at this time to get another dog (although Jacob is reminding us that every home should have a dog!) so Sam and Jacob will have to have a stuffed animal or love on silly Goofy shirts for now.
