Sam the Sweet

(I know it doesn't make sense on first thought, but really, he is very sweet underneath it all)

Oh, my Sam-O. What would I do without you? What can I do with you?

I love you so much, but you can make me so crazy at the same time. Just when I think you have finally done something so horrible that I'll be mad at you forever, you ask for a hug, or you climb on my lap, or you give me a present. How can anyone stay mad?

You are so full of energy, so full of life. You live every moment to the fullest, and you don't want anyone telling you that you can't do something. I believe that you will do great things in this life. I believe you will be an important person, to more than just your family.

You are a smart little cookie, and I think a lot of people underestimate you, including me at times. It amazes me when you read my books to me, or figure out really complex math problems, or memorize complete TV shows.

You are creative. You have an amazing imagination, and I love to see it come out when you play with Julia. I love when you share and encourage others. I've seen you do it, so I know you can. Especially with younger kids. It makes everyone happy.

I love your dimples. Kissable.

I love each of my children, but I had a special experience with you, Sam, when you were very small. Nothing can ever make me stop loving you. Nothing.
