Our Sam turned 10 years old today! In a way it's hard to believe, but at the same time it seems like he's been 10 for a while. There are many things I love about Sam, and one of them is the reaction he has when he opens presents. He has been wanting a DSi, but we decided he has enough "screen" time so we opted for his 2nd choice, a new scooter. He goes to school early every morning to ride his scooter at the skate park with his friends. He was disappointed when we told him he couldn't have a DSi, but you would never have known the scooter wasn't his first choice after he opened it! He pumped his fists in the air and said, "No way!! A new scooter! Yes!!" He had a similar reaction when he opened his Michael Jackson Experience Wii game.
You can always count on Sam to show his emotions, good and bad. :) He is such a joy to be around. He and Devin are close in age, but so different. When Sam's teacher said they had a science fair coming up and that it was optional, Sam only heard "science fair" and got to work at once. When he was done putting together his board he insisted on practicing his presentation for me. Wow!
Every year on his birthday Sam changes his favorite color, but this year he decided to keep his favorite color green. He said that green "explains who he is because he likes science, nature, and living things". :) We couldn't find a green scooter, so we got some duct tape and let him make his own design. He seemed to enjoy it.
Happy Birthday, Sam!! We love you!!!!
