Sam celebrated his 6th birthday on June 15th. He has been looking forward to his birthday since March when we celebrated Ben's birthday. He had a hard time believing it had finally come....
Mom walking into Sam's room in the morning. "Happy Birthday Sam!!"
"Just one more sleep until my birthday mom?"
"No....its today Sam....today is YOUR birthday!"
"Its later..... after dinner?"
"No it is right now, right this very day!"
"Ohhhhhh!!!!" with a HUGE grin on his face! "Its my birthday, its my birthday, its my birthday!"
Sam is so cute....well, he would rather me say "Cool". When I tell him he is cute, he says, "no, I am cool" and I say "You are right! You are cool!" and then he says, "Thanks mom."
He really is such a sweet boy. He has always had a tender heart and has such a sensitive side to him. He definitely has spit fire in him, (did he get that from me or his dad??....I will let you decide!) But we are so thankful that Sam is part of our family and we love him so very much!
Sam had a fun pirate birthday party and Jonas worked so hard on making the treasure chest and clues for the treasure hunt. They turned out awesome! The kids really enjoyed becoming pirates and searching for hidden treasure.
We had family over in the evening for cake and icecream and Sam got lots of fun presents. He got a scooter, wolverine toys, slime, a marble rollercoaster, squishy snakes, frogs, and lizards. And you'll never guess what we gave him. I am still wondering what I have got myself into....
Yup. Another pet. A reptile pet. Our newest addition, Spikey Gunnar, (Sam wanted to name him Spikey and Ben wanted to name him Gunnar) the bearded dragon. Yes, I agree. I am completely crazy! Sam was of course, THRILLED! He has been asking for a pet lizard for months....years maybe....and I finally broke down and got him one. Little did I know how much time I would spend cleaning his cage and feeding him crickets! Did I really have time to take on another creature to care for? I guess I am stuck with him now. I have to admit though...he is pretty cute. Only time will tell how much I might end up regretting this purchase!
But Sam was so thankful for his present. He told me all day..."thanks for the lizard mom" and "I love my pet, thanks mom" Now how can I possibly regret buying something when it makes my little guy so happy?? We love you Sam! Happy Birthday!
