A little about Sam

Well, school has been in session for 9 days now and I think a little of the glamour has worn off. Sam loves school and he's doing great, but he no longer pops out of bed and into his clothes. Yesterday I had to tell him to get his pants on 9 times. His reply? "Oh, I forgot." He found a different toy to play with in between each article of clothing. Then he still had to eat breakfast. All of you with kids know what I'm talking about.

Sam received a compliment from his teacher the other day. She said everyone likes him and he's the best behaved and most academically advanced kid in the class. We're very proud of him. I was pleased by this comment because I felt like he was ready for school but now it's been confirmed by his teacher. Lest you think he's too perfect he does hold his pencil wrong.

Here's a funny story about Sam being naughty. First of all he loves Indiana Jones. He sings the theme music all the time. He even chooses it for his family home evening song. Anyway, he was in trouble for not helping and was supposed to be in his room. He came downstairs and stood at the bottom of the stairs so I asked him if he was ready to help. He said no so I told him to go back to his room. He said no to that too. So, I counted to five and when I stood up to get him he shot up the stairs singing, "dun da dun dun, dun da dah, dun da dun dun..." (Indiana Jones theme music) and raced to his room. It was hilarious. I guess he needed a little excitement in his life.
