With all the press that Emma gets these days, I thought I'd drop a quick note about Sam. Quite subtly, he continues to pick up all sorts of funny words and phrases, trying them out in conversations with me. I forget that he's only five sometimes, so I'll talk to him like an adult. Only after he comes back with questions like "What does traipsing about mean?" do I realize his age. It's also pretty clear that he really likes playing with me. Last weekend we were at a place with a fountain and he threw in a nickel. Later on he told me in confidence that he wished that he could play with me all the time. I love that boy.

Sam was exceptionally cool yesterday. I was working on my computer when he kept coming down and asking questions like "What letter makes an 'uh' sound?" then scurrying back upstairs after I told him. We went back and forth like this a few times as he checked the shape of certain letters. I briefly heard screams of frustration as he messed up a letter and had to get help from Jamie. Finally, after much work I ended up with a piece of paper that reads "DAD I LOVE YOU FROM SAM". It's hanging up in my office now, practically making me cry each time I see it.
