Special Little Sam!!

This week at school Sam was chosen to be the Special Child of the Week. They sent home a questionnaire and we made a poster of his favorite things and some pictures to take to school and display! I want to write a few things about just how special of a child he is! Sam is one of the most kind-hearted people I have ever met. He genuinely wants to do the right thing and choose the right! He does not understand it when someone chooses wrong. He is a wonderful big brother and even though his brother likes to push his buttons and is good at it, Sam quickly forgives. He is always concerned about Ben and tries to prevent anything from ever happening to him. Sam has struggled with a lot in his short 7 years but always comes out ahead. Last week we had Sam's IEP meeting and the speech and special needs teachers both said that there is nothing more they could do for Sam! So he is now in the classroom full time which is amazing to see! I love Sam so much! I must have done something great to have Sam as my son!

Bed Bugs!!

Got your attention didn't I? No, we don't have bed bugs. Last night I kissed and tuched my boys in and said, "Night, night, sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite." As I walked out, little Ben sat straight up and said, "Mom, spier in my bed." (spider in my bed) I had to chuckle a bit and hug him and reassure him that mom was just saying that and there are no bugs in his bed but that didn't help. An hour later I came in to check on him and there he was in bed with his brother and all day today I have had to hear about spiers. So lesson learned.....two year olds take everything seriously! What a character!

My first....I mean Sam's first Science project!

Yep, it has already started! Sam got to choose an animal to do a report on and he chose Iguanas. So I run, that night, to the library and check out every book on those darn reptiles and read all about Iguanas! I volunteer on Wednesdays at the school, which was the following day, and come to find out it is just a small and very simple report....kind of fill-in-the-blanks and she already provided the information. So on top of that we had to make a poster or a diorama. So today Sam and I worked on that.....well, mostly me. So my second time around in school has already started. Sam seems to be pretty excited with the final project! And I know everything there is to know about Iguanas!
