Sammy's 4th Birthday!

When we 1st moved to the Okanagan Sammy was only a couple months old and now he is 4, seriously how does this happen?  Sometimes the days seem so long but the years go by so fast!

Here's are some cute little things about Sam @ Age 4

•  He still refers to himself as "my"- example (my love you mama)
• LOVES Chocolate
• LOVES his stuffed animal puppy
• LOVES cuddles
• LOVES his blankie
• LOVES to play with dinosaurs
• LOVES his pre-school and his teacher
• Favorite tv show is Ben 10
• Most requested food- everything that goes on sandwiches except banana's which is really just a sandwich with pb & j and honey with no banana's.

On Sammy's latest progress report from preschool his teacher wrote this:
"Sam is a bright, curious, happy child and has adjusted extremely well to preschool.  He has wonderful social skills and gets along well with everyone.  He is kind and helpful and is able to solve problems independently.  Sam is eager to learn, always tries his best and is very proud of his accomplishments.  He has a good understanding of basic concepts.  He's doing great!

Jason and I are very proud of this little man!!!

Right before Sam was born I got to pick what day I would have my C-section, it was either feb 27th, feb 28th or feb 29th, since my bday was on the 28th I decided that Sam's would be the 27th, i wasn't sure about the whole leap year thing.  So now even though we are a day apart we still share our birthdays.  Maybe I should have just put us on the same day.
