2 1/2

Our special boy is 2 1/2 today. I know that the world does not typically celebrate half birthdays, but looking back on the past 6 months, Sam has grown up so much. I just can't pass up the opportunity to celebrate him.

at 2 1/2, Sam:
-Loves his daddy. I get a little jealous of this sometimes, but at the same time I am glad that they are BFF.
-loves me too. He comes to me over Devin when he is hurt (typical mom role), sad, or tired. He goes to Devin for fun or when I say no to junk food.
-finally loves his sister! This has been a huge answer to prayer. I don't know if it's the sticker chart or growing up or the grace of God that has made Sam stop being violent. He even asks to hold Mollie almost daily and asks her if she's ok when she coughs or sneezes.
-loves outside. He asks to go in the backyard almost immediately after waking up. I don't know what we're going to do once it hits 100 degress.
-loves TV. I hate that he has already become an addict. I try to limit his TV watching during the day. Some days are successful and some days aren't.
-would rather play with other kids' toys rather than other kids.
-would rather wander around the landscaping of the park rather than play on the equipment.
-loves to hear stories about himself.
-loves to watch videos of "baby Sam."
-hates to take naps.
-loves to go camping

Sam is the greatest.
