Sam is quite enamored of Sadie these days

Sam is quite enamored of Sadie these days. She was over last night for their semi-annual play time. She's been teaching him how to be "supa bad" and dance about the house. I think Sam like Sadie because she'll play games the way he wants to play, which is rare for an adult.

They also did their annual feign death play. Every year it seems that they pretend that one of them dies, but comes back to life. This year the twist was that Sadie died, but that Sam's magical tears brought her back. Unfortunately, those same tears kept Sam alive, and so he collapsed. Very dramatic.

Sam continues to learn and grow. He's getting more comfortable with reading and writing, though it still takes a fair bit of effort. I'm looking forward to the day when I can put a book in front of him and tell him to read it himself.

Sam's officially been accepted to Crest Drive for kindergarden. It's about a ten minute drive south of our house, a cute place nestled in the woods with a nearby stream.

A couple nights ago, we had a really hard time getting both kids to bed, so I started the bedtime ritual early last night. I had him running up and down the hill in our front yard, getting him pretty tired. We then crammed both kids and Jamie in the bath before seven, where Sam pretended he had been transformed into a beast and only a mother's love could bring back his humanity. Eventually we got him dressed, bednight snacked, and to an early bedtime. I read a long comic book to him which he seemed to greatly enjoy. He was out like a light.
