The Happiest Boy in Town

Sam is beginning to show signs of being the ham of the family. Yep, I thought Luke had it in the bag but as Sam is learning to communicate he is slowly taking the crown for hamminess(is that a word?) On Thursday, while Luke and Susanna were at preschool Sam, Eli, and I ventured out to Target. Eli sat in the front of the cart while Sam was standing in the back. (this was the first time he had ever figured out that he could stand up in the cart) He was so proud of himself and wanted everyone to notice his accomplishment. He didn't seem to realize that this is a fairly normal thing for 2 year olds. Well, in order to get everyone's attention, he would yell hi and wave to them. Now, I know that you are probably picturing a little boy speaking in a sweet soft little voice but no, not Sam. He was yelling at the top of his lungs HIIII!!! Most customers would offer us a nice smile and be on their way. But there were some who seemed to think that maybe if I don't look this little kid will shut up. But not our dear Sam. He yelled louder and louder until everyone who crossed paths with him would acknowledge him. Once he had their attention, he would continually say hi and the poor customers didn't know when and if they could walk away. At first this was pretty amusing but soon became hilarious seeing all of the customers duck away as we approached near them. It turned out to be a great way of having the aisles to ourselves.:)


Jeff and I decided to try and do this blog thing so that we can keep track of his progress and to keep all of Sam's friends and family updated on his progress. Thank you so much for your prayers. God is doing an amazing work in Sam. That is one thing that we are sure of. Sam will see his ear specialist tomorrow afternoon. His ear has been bleeding a little and they will also be testing his hearing once again. We love you guys.
