Happy 2nd Birthday, Sam!

Sam is 2! Wow. He enjoyed his birthday at daycare. They celebrated by singing to him and he opened a present that we purchased. It was actually a gift for the class- two board books that Sam really likes. The books are Brown Bear, Brown Bear and Chicka Chicka ABC. The teacher sent me a picture (see on the right side of the screen). His friends are eagerly waiting their turn to look at the books.

Tonight we gave Sam some birthday cake. He really got into this time. He also asked us to sing "Happy Birthday" to him at least 5 or 6 times. He would start out saying, "happy" and then sign "please." And so that meant we had to sing to him!

He's been going to daycare this whole week. He is still a little unsure about his new surroundings and he's with all 2 year olds making him the youngest in his class. He does much better when daddy drops him off in the mornings as I found this morning when he got really upset when I left him. I usually pick him up after his nap and snack.

The picture to the right is from yesterday. Sam enjoyed painting at daycare so much that he brought some home on his shirt.

We are looking forward to a small family birthday party for Sam this weekend. We will also celebrate Sam's cousin's birthday on Saturday. She will be 3!
