A series of events (including Aunt Charity's WEDDING!!) caused this post to be delayed (well, I guess I could have done both, but I didn't -- sorry, Kid!) but the good news is despite the delinquencies, YOU, my dear Sammy, are TEN YEARS OLD!!
Isn't that wild??
I was pondering your personality recently. I think Daddy thinks that you are much like he was as a kid. In many ways, I think that you are much like I was as a kid. Maybe those are some ways we overlap.
But as far as kids go, you are definitely delightful. You can get lost in your own world sometimes, especially when enjoying a good book (I can definitely relate). And you're often quiet and contemplative (I think Daddy can relate, there). And you like to avoid trouble (we can both relate to that)!
You're sweet and thoughtful and funny and smart. Your smile lights up the room. You have a huge heart. You are amazing.
And we hope you have the best year yet. We love you, Sammy. Happy, happy birthday!
