A few days back, Sam and Emma were taking a bath as usual. One of the toys they regularly play with is a shark puppet that doubles as a washer. I came in to find them putting on an old Saturday Night Live skit I must have told Sam about long ago.
Emma would hold up her hands like doors and Sam would say "Knock, knock." Emma replied, "Who's there?" with an answer of "Candygram." As soon as she opened her hands, Sam's shark puppet would then attack. They did this over and over, much to Jamie's and my amusement.

 Jamie and I were remarking the other day how Sam has become generally happy and pleasant. It's increasingly rare that we need to raise our voice with him, or come up with some sort of "consequence" for his bad behavior. It makes life much easier, and I've been making a point of telling him that I appreciate it.
Sam's reading is incredible compared to a year ago. He doesn't have all the rare and unusual words down, but he's clearly picked up Jamie and I's reading talent. Last night he was reading "Princess Smartypants" to me and even adding intonations. Before it was mostly a monotone struggle to puzzle out the words.
We're still adjusting to the end of school and start of Summer. So far he seems pretty happy with the switch. I think he'll miss his friends, but we've so far filled it up with vacation and Josh visiting. Later we'll have Summer camps and swimming lessons.
