So nice to hear....

ITs so nice to be told how wonderful your child are, Sure , you think they are good kids, they are yours, you better think so, But when someone else tells you how wonderful they are, its always great to hear.... Here is a bit of a email I got from My Mother in law about the Day she spent with Sam:

I had the BEST time with Sam last Saturday. He is the most absolutely PERFECT little person I have ever known. I was so impressed with his behavior -- he traveled well, didn't even play with all the toys I had packed into the back seat, he just looked out the window and told me everything he saw, he was so delighted with everything, even little stuff, like seeing balloons tied to a post! I thought that was so charming. He really seemed to enjoy the Tram ride at NW Trek, was interested in all the animals, and be sure you don't say anything around him you don't want repeated -- the Tram driver would say "Eleven oclock! Mountain goats!" and Sam would say "Eleven oclock! Mountain goats!" He told me everything he heard her say.

When it was time to eat I headed us for the cafe there but he said "Let's go to your house." He said it several times - "I want to go to your house," and I felt really bad about not taking him there. I asked him if he'd like to come and spend the night at my house and he said yes. I truly do think he would and he'd be happy. I mean, we had ZERO problems about anything, I felt like we were real pals.

I see other kids his age running around with tantrums and whining and begging for stuff, but not SAM. You and Scott are doing a FABULOUS job with raising him. I mean it! He is very enjoyable to be with. You have FOUR very wonderful sons and I love them all.



Isnt that a nice letter? remember , Sam is 3 1/2, its nice to know he "travels well" lol...

That IS a wonderful letter. I am really looking forward to meeting Sam next week. Maybe he can teach Zoƫ a thing or two. :)
