You can take pretty much anything and add a remote control to it and make it excellent. According to Sam.
Over the last 24 hours I’ve had 3 separate conversations with 4 year old Sam about what he wants for his birthday, which is in May and not really what I consider to be just around the corner. Still, his birthday has become a frequent topic of conversation around here lately and since pretty much everything that comes out of Sam’s mouth is interesting enough to create a blog post I thought I’d go ahead and write out the three conversations here.
Sam: Mom, I really want a remote controlled carrot for my birthday.
Me: Why?
Sam: Because it will just be so cool.
Me: Is that all?
Sam: No. I also want a remote controlled whale that is drawing.
And a balloon that doesn’t pop all the time.
And three green balloons that do pop sometimes.
And remote controlled balloons that glow.
Sam: Mom, for my birthday I really want you to get $100.
Me: You want me to get $100 for your birthday?
Sam: Yes.
Wait… Nooooo…
I mean I want you to get me $100 for my birthday so I can buy a remote control.
Sam: For my birthday I really want a remote controlled carrot.
And a remote controlled whale that is drawing, and a remote controlled TV, and a remote controlled shark, and a remote controlled helicopter.
Me: Sam, why does everything have to be remote controlled?
Sam: I don’t know.
Kait: Sam, that’s not a good enough answer for a blog post. Say something different.
I’m getting the feeling that Sam feels about remote controls the same way I feel about chocolate. It makes everything better.
And is there anything cuter than Sam in his dad’s flight suit?
Nope.

I hear remote controlled coffee mugs are all the rage right now.
And when in May is his birthday?

May 16th — not long before yours.
Aaaaaawesome. Give Sam a fistbump for me.
By the way, May 16th is the day Star Wars Episode II came to theaters. Just so ya know

Ummmm…That was supposed to be from ME. Taylor.
Ha! I was wondering why your mom was so excited about that. Also, that she knew when Star Wars Episode II came out kind of threw me for a minute.
So, Trailer, you’re baking now?
Remote controlled everything is awesome. Except military aircraft. That is just wrong.
Agreed, but only because you’re my husband because, actually, I’m not even sure I have an opinion on the subject.

Ok, two things:
1. YES! You listened to me when I told you we need more Sam-isms! I love that boy’s brain. It is a gift to the world and you must share it.
2. I actually found a carrot remote control, which is a bit different than a remote-controlled carrot, but still… I wonder if he saw this somewhere?

This is close but I’m not sure he’d be tricked. However, it is a remote controlled something, and that is sure to please him.

Also, a carrot WITH a remote control:

We’re circling the idea…

This is funny, Becky, but not exactly what he’s after. Keep looking.

Put some glow sticks in some green balloons and blow them up (for after dark). Maybe he will think it is awesome.
I actually found gree balloons with LED lights in them. He thinks they’re pretty sweet
