For those of you who are following Sam's dental development, he's started getting his molars in. I haven't tried to take a picture yet, though it might be fun to attempt to stuff my camera in his mouth.

We got a new computer game that Sam really enjoys
November 22, 2005 by Adam in Sam
 We got a new computer game that Sam really enjoys. The name is Fable, and one of the central ideas is that you can be either evil or good and your character changes depending on your actions. Initially he started good, but he's since gone back and is been somewhat more shady. He announced his morality as "evil in the sense of stealing things, not killing people", though that hasn't been always reflected in the game either. So far he's a little bad, but he still does good things from time to time as well.
He wanted to play so much, that he came up and asked for work so that he could earn thirty minutes of computer time. It's part of our new reward system, something like the third version that we've tried. I had him putting away dishes, cleaning the playroom, washing the bathroom, and vacuuming the floor. After all of that, he got his thirty minues of time.
"You've been really good, and now you can go be bad," I told him, referring to his approach to the game's morality. He thought it was pretty funny.

Sam got a new fish for his tank last week
November 09, 2005 by Adam in Sam
Sam got a new fish for his tank last week. It's an alge eating fish, promptly named "Croco" by Sam. It's been doing a great job eating the slime from the fish tank, with even Jamie mesmerized by the cleaning power of the little critter. I think she's secretly hoping to train an army of the little guys with special water helmets and turn them loose on our house, cleaning every surface as they go.
Sam's doing really well in school these days. He's gotten 100% on every spelling test and quickly picks up math as well. His reading still needs work, though he's so much better than he was at the start of the year. If he sets his mind to it, he can figure out most words. At this point, he just needs practice.
