Sam is about two months from his 5th birthday. He's loving having his babysitter, Andrew, around. Today we went to church and Emily pointed out that Andrew was also at his church his family. Sam said, "I've never seen his family!", looked very please, and snuggled into mom. All of the kids are pretty independent and Sam had no trouble gong up for the children's time or going out with his class. He's a pretty social being.
He has a host of activities he enjoys. He likes doing drawings--of dinosaurs, superheroes, space, and so on. Last night he played a pbs reading game for a while. The app reads a story and there's a space where children are to pick one of three words. Sam liked the process of trying right and wrong words. He's probably still a ways from reading, but he likes being red to and doing word games. He has started paying attention to rhyming words in the last few months.
For exercise, Sam is trying swim lessons on Saturday. Our hope is that when we go back we might be able to join the pool for six months and possibly get Sam some one-on-one lessons. Sam also went to Yoga this week (with Miss April) and had a fun time. The class is mostly ages 4 and 5 and Sam kept up even thought some of the kids have been doing the class for a long time. He likes to play on the couch and bed, the playground, climb the stairs, climb his father.... He seems healthy and happy and strong. It would be nice if perhaps he could work on riding a bike this coming year.
This is a first start and I may add to t his post in the next week or two. Right now Sam is at Subway with his mom and the twins are asleep. They're bringing lunch back.
