Samson went to his very first pool party on Saturday. Our friends had a barbecue/pool bash, and Sammy the fish was very excited to get wet. He was also oblivious to the fact that he was one of only two boys there [our friends' daughter is 3, and so her friends, naturally, are 3-year-old girls].
He was not oblivious to the 7-year-old girl there and talked about her for half the car ride home. (Good grief).
The other boy there, Will, had just woken up from a nap, and his mom jokingly referred to him as "the cranky boy." The joke was lost on literal Sam, who must have figured this kid had been named according to the same conventions as Robin of Locksley and Vlad the Impaler, because for the rest of the day, he kept referring to him as "Will the Cranky Boy."
Will didn't actually factor much into the day as Samson was convinced he was playing with the little tribe of girls. In reality, he was playing alongside them or near them at best, but it was pretty funny to watch. And they were pretty tolerant.
It shouldn't surprise me, since they are related and all, but the resemblance of these two really struck me when I saw this photo.
Also, they both seem already to have perfected the early U2 style of not looking/looking disinterestedly at the camera for photos.
