April Updates

Sam is doing great!!! He continues to struggle with ear infections often, but has been much healthier this winter than last year. School is going well and we can't say enough wonderful things about the staff working with him at Children's Care! Sam has been working hard and learning all kinds of new things! Our biggest excitement is his continued success with the potty chair! His other big news is that he is beginning to eat with silverware all by himself! With assistance for loading the fork or spoon, he is learning to bring the utensil to his mouth by himself. The staff at school have worked hard to implement a program to teach Sam to sit quietly and it is working! We have been able to attend church and sit through the entire service with our boy! He still likes to sing with the choir once in awhile, but we love his joyful noises!
The slide show contains pictures of St. Patrick's Day, fun Friday afternoons at school, visits with both Grandmas and rooting for North Carolina with Daddy! Jeff gives Sam a play by play throughout the games and he loves it! Kathie is Sam's special EA at school and we are so thankful for her!
Thank you for continuing to pray for Sam and our family!

What can I say Sam? I LOVE those little Irish pictures!!! You are just adorable! AND I have seen and heard you and Daddy watch the games. You love it. It is so much fun to share your successes dear. From listening to the tinkle of your potty training to sharing quiet times ---- from reading stories to going out to eat --- the time I share with you is treasured time. You make my life happier and so much better. I love you sooo much. Hats off to Mommy and Daddy for all their hard work. The love you all share is a beautiful thing! I can't wait to hug each of you. God bless you each new day. grammy
