12:01: Mama, is Santa Claus is downstairs?
12:02: It’s so hard to sleep. Is he downstairs? I can’t get comfortable. Why is Daddy sleeping? Why does Mama keep telling me to shush? Is it morning yet?
12:30: Mama, I need to poop!
3:00: What? I can’t go to sleep now, I might not hear…………..
7:00: It’s morning! Mama, did Santa come?
7:01: I can’t believe Mama and Daddy are so dang slow? Do they really need to pee before going downstairs? Hurry, hurry, hurry!
7:02: Look at that! Presents for me!
7:03: I think I’ll open this one.
7:04: That’s nice. How does this work?7:08: I think I’ll open another.
(And so on and so on and so on. Gifts from family and friends far outweighed gifts from Santa so there was an impressive stack of goodies for Sam.)
8:25: What is this hanging from the doorknob? What? A stocking? Wow! A train! It has a tender and caboose so I don’t need to use my engines for that anymore!
8:30: Oh look! A red candy cane with Santa crawling up the cane. I bet I can eat it all in one sitting. Sugar for breakfast! (But Santa was somewhat stingy and this was the only candy he left.)
9:30: I don’t want to get dressed! I don’t want to wear the new train sweater! I want to play with my toys.
9:35: Mama, will you play trains with me?
9:45: Mama, will you read this book to me?
9:50: Mama, I’m hungry! I want cookies.
11:30: I don’t want to wear a coat Daddy! I want to be outside in my shirt. What are you putting in the car? I want to see you put it in the car. Where are we going? I want to wear my hat with the pompom.
11:35: I want to get out of the car now.
11:40: Yes I want a banana
Noon: Daddy, Susu and Papa have a potty you can use.
12:30: Mama says not to step in the mud so I’ll run through it really really fast instead!
12:32: Hello Susu! Who is that strange woman (hospice nurse)? Where is Papa?
12:34: The toys are in here! I’m going to play with the toys. Susu and Papa have cool toys for me to play with.
12:35: Susu, will you play trains with me?
1:00: Oooh! This looks cool. Daddy, I will help put this together.
1:01: Hurry up Daddy! You’re so slow!
1:15: What is this stuff on my plate. It looks like ham, and something red I better not eat (beet salad), and oh, sweet potatoes, I like those. What is this flat thing? (corn cake) I’ll take a bite and see what it is…well, I guess I don’t need to spit it out but it’s not worth eating.
1:20: I’m done!
1:40: You have pie? I want pie! I want lemon meringue pie! I don't want pumpkin pie.
1:50: I want to go outside!
1:55: Mud? What mud? What happens if I put my feet into this frozen puddle of water? Oh, it gets wet. I want to explore!
2:10: Mama! Carry me! You’re so mean, why won’t you carry me? What? I can chase you? Oh, and I can chase Susu too?
2:30: Such lovely mud.
3:00: No! I don’t want to go home! I want to stay at Susu and Papa’s!
3:10: I want to get out of the car. No, it doesn’t go faster if I fall asleep! I know that doesn’t……
4:00: It looks like we’re at Beth and Dicky’s. Why are we here? Whey can’t we get out of the car? Where are they?
4:10: Mama, will you play trains with me?
5:00: Mama, I want to take a bath with you! Look at me swim! Look at me dive! Why are you mopping the floor?
6:30: “Mama, my poop is RED!” (The candy cane comes back to haunt us.)
7:45: I don’t want to go to bed!
7:50: My old sippy is still here! I don’t want my old sippy! I don’t want two sippies!
7:55: I need to pee
8:00: I need to poop!
8:15: I need to pee!
8:30: zzzzzzz

That was fun to read! I feel like I was actually there with you throughout the day!
Now did you take notes, or do you just have a much better memory than I do??
