Samuel is obsessed with his cousin Nate. And not just Nate. Also Nate's house and we think this translates most literally to Nate and Ethan's toys. Nate's closer in age, and his name is easier to say, so he tends to get more credit than Ethan. If we so much as get on the freeway, he asks "Nate house?" And "Nate's house" gets top billing in many of his prayers. In our limited square footage we haven't invested in toys much (less is more, right?), so Nate's monster trucks, train set, and sandbox are divine when we go to visit. Thanks Nate! I did just buy a bag of sand and put it in a tub on the balcony. But nothing beats the contents of this tub.


Samuel, Nate and Ethan and three little ducks that went out to play.
Intense focus on that dump truck and track


When my oldest was one she had one little basket of toys. Last week I had to go get new shelves for the masses of toys we've collected in four years. Less IS more.
