The best post EVER…
September 11, 2009 | Updates
Ok, this is out of order because I have a few more old posts to put up still, but I HAD to add this one now because it is so incredible!
Here’s the setup for the video below. Every night, after Samuel falls asleep, I go into his room and hook up his ABR machine and overnight feeding with his pump. It’s quite a task and takes me about 20 minutes to do. Tonight, I had more fun than I’ve had in a LONG time just getting his stuff hooked up! In addition, you have to know that I have been telling people for the last 4 years that Samuel is an expert at faking sleep. That kid can keep his eyes closed through ANYTHING if he really wants to (apparently, he’s not as good at hiding his smile, though). I took this video AFTER I had everything hooked up, so this had been going on for about 20 minutes and Samuel DID NOT open his eyes ONCE. NOT ONCE! I tell you, that kid has way more self control than I do! And he uses it to his advantage to get out of all kinds of therapy. Stinker! But so cute!
Oh, and I had to turn the lights off for most of the video because I really did not want him to wake up. He hates the ABR machine stuff and won’t wear it if he’s up and wiggling around. Plus, he was way funnier when the light was off. Not sure why! I guess he thought he really was being goofy then.
Enjoy! The password is laughing.

Oh, Teresa! As soon as I heard Samuel’s laugh I started crying. I can only imagine how much that sound touched you. I can not wait to hear Aidan laugh like that again.

I love it! Jahnna thought it was Colby laughing at first. Colby does that to, fakes asleep but he’s no where near as good as Samuel is!
