Sometimes the world is a tough place for Sam. It’s not easy being a middle child, but on top of it all, he’s had to deal with this recently:
He watched his sister pull off a Tsukahara Double Pike at the water park. Once he got over his shock, he realized that he needs to step up his athletic game big time.
After the gymnastics debacle, he was sent to the dentist. The stuffed animals were freakish, not calming. Lauren disagreed.
He watched his dog get hauled off to jail for stealing a peanut butter bone from the pet store.
Recognizing that he’s been under a ton of pressure, I offered to buy him a vodka lemonade, which he gladly accepted.
The temporary good times ended when I took him to a cheese store.
I made him wear a fake mustache.
“Why?” he asked.
“Because the cops are outside” I answered.
Obviously.
Lastly, his sister made him wear a Hawaiian coconut bra.
All of this left him feeling pretty small and confused.
So he did what any preschooler would do. He channeled his spiritual guru and asked for her advice. She recommended 5 Chaturangas followed by a Sarvangasana. Oddly, it seems to be working, and he’s been a lot happier lately. Namaste everyone, may the force be with you, have a blissful week, and stay out of trouble.
That is a terrifying stuffed animals. At least it has nice teeth?
Thought so too, and was so surprised that my daughter didn’t find it super weird!
Oh my god, before I even read the caption, I was completely terrified of that stuffed animal! WTH! Who creates something like that?!?
And the coconut bras? Hilarious.
Poor poor middle child. I had a middle child once, but my fallopian tubes saw fit to correct that.
Yes, the middle child. I try to give him lots of extra love and affection. Truthfully he probably doesn’t feel the pain at this point. We’ll see what he says years from now when he looks back.

……and Sam, of course it is working! Shanti, shanti shanti…
What an absolute delight to see the inculcation of ashtanga yoga so early in life – may it be with him forever.
A fun x3 post – but poor Jack, jail was a bit harsh don’t ya think? Community service of ten days of Sam-cuddling and doga would have been sufficient I say!! &* YAM xx
Yamini, I always love your responses. I think I add in the yoga stuff these days just so that I can get them from you : )
Haha! fun photos LOL @ Porkslap
Have a funtabulous week 😉
The Porkslap was delicious. Hard to find unfortunately.
That stuffed thing was quite creepy. I wouldn’t be able to sleep if I had seen it in real life.

Don’t visit the pediatric dentist if you intend to sleep again though. There were a few of those things hanging around.
LOL, Poor little guy. That would be a tough week for anyone! Especially the scary dentist doll! Glad he was able to calm himself.
The fish with teeth is terrifying. Fully agree.
I am a middle child. It pretty much sucked. But nobody offered me vodka lemonade. I feel even more cheated now.
Can I offer you a vodka lemonade now? Sometimes you just need a helping hand.
That was so funny! Great story-telling in picture form. 😉 Enjoy your week!
Thanks so much! I always have so much fun putting the WWs together each week. Have a great one too.
Great fun photos Jessica! Thanks for hosting.
Thanks so much, and always happy to host. Have a great week.
That coconut bra cracked me up!
The truth is that those coconut bras were my sleeping masks. They come molded outwards so that they don’t smash your eyes in the night.
Such an awesome collection of photos! The best is hands down the coconut bra photo. Love it!
Find yourself some molded sleeping masks and you too can have your own coconut bras at home. They’re the perfect size for little ones. Have a great week Diana!
HILARIOUS! What an awesome post!! 🙂

Thanks so much! Have a fantastic week.
Poor little guy! I’m still shaking my head with disbelief at his sister’s incredible gymnastic achievements!
Thanks Erika for checking out my WW Linky several moons ago! Your comment got stuck in my spam filter and am just seeing it now : ) Hope you had a great week, and hope to see you back for more WW action next week. All the best!
I love the ‘Stuck The Landing’ shot…looks like something my BabyGirlie would do…thanks so much for hosting and sharing! 🙂
Thanks for stopping by, the gymnastics shot is one of my favorites too, glad you liked it.
I enjoy looking through an article that will make men and women think.
Also, thank you for allowing me to comment!
