Last day of Fall Soccer!

Burrr it gets cold the last days of fall soccer! But it's worth freezing my butt off to watch my silly Sam play soccer. His battle call running up the field, his monster kick-offs, and let us not forget his backward running! His first game he was appalled to wear a pink jersey, but this kid made it work. We shall see if next year he has more interest in the game, as he did this year with socializing. :)

Sam - "Can you give me a dream?"

I love and dread putting Sam to sleep. He is such an energetic little boy, whose mind goes a mile a minute. But once I give him a back rub and a dream he slows down and melts into sleep. Singing the words... "The world loves little Samuel, and you mean the world to me" I'm reminded that all difficult behavior (like today painting a PlayStation controller gold, and "tricking" me into buying candy at the store) are the very things that make me love him. He is an amazing kid who makes me proud, ensures I laugh, and keeps me guessing! Someday he won't want a back rub and a dream, and I will long for the words.. "But why?" "How?" "Please just a little longer."

Sam Art

Tonight Sam made the cutest drawing before bed. He wanted to stay up and keep drawing, but I had the idea of letting him complete his artwork in bed with me on the computer. He had so much fun playing with the art software on my computer.

I'm up, I'm up!

I'm exhausted, and it's Monday!
