Legend of Sam

I don't know what to say. Who KNOWS where he gets his eccentricity from..... couldn't possible be either of his parents, right? So Sam has been playing a character nearly every day for... a while now. His latest obsession is "Link" from the video game "Legend of Zelda". If you've never heard of it, Link dresses in green, wears brown boots and wields a powerful sword. With the help of Kmart and the dollar store, Sam has become a hero. We actually got 2 outfits cuz he wears it EVERY DAY- so that's why you see 2 Links in one of the pictures (cousin Easton). The picture above cracks me up- he snuck in bed one morning with Kody and Brianna while they were staying with us and just sat there quietly while they slept.

Looking back, this character obsession started a couple years ago with "a witches hat" (really an orange cone) that Sam had to wear every time we went to Tia's house. So it became a hat thing for a while. Bonnets, cowboy hats, whatever was available and made him feel handsome or powerful.
Then he was a pirate for a couple weeks after his 3d birthday party. Then he spent about 6 months as Superman and about flipped when he realized he could transform into Clark Kent with his sweet spectacles from his Dr.'s kit. In June, he realized Link was much cooler than Superman. And thus is the Legend of Sam..... so far.
