Five

lighthearted. affectionate. funny. silly. innocent. contagious. tender hearted. shy. loyal. forgiving.

stubborn. whiny. 

this guy. this guy. this guy. 

turned five. FIVE. 

I wish I could post his laugh here. contagious. Just the other day Charlie came to me and said, "Mom, why do I laugh every time Sam starts laughing"? I pray often that it never leaves him, along with his lighthearted soul. What life those things give to me. 

May you give that to many along they way. 

He has had such a big year. We really expected transitioning to a new school to be long and difficult. It didn't take a day. I had been praying for one good friend for him and I'll never forget the moment I saw that friendship take off. 

Everyone should hope for a friend like him. 

So proud and thankful for you, my sweet Sam.
