It was Sam's turn for a little change. During his physical in June his doctor recommended we take him to have his vision checked. I finally got him there in October (only 4 months later) and sure enough...he needs glasses. We went the next day and picked out frames and waited for the glasses to arrive. He's doing a great job caring for them and seems to be wearing them as often as needed. One of his friends was over last week so I asked him if Sam actually keeps his glasses on at school and he said "yep, all day except recess." So glad he's using them and they're doing more than just making him look so grown up...and quite handsome too!
And while I'm on the subject of Sam, I just want to take this opportunity to say how proud I am to be his mom. For so many reasons...he's a fantastic big brother, a total bookworm that devours books by the dozens, he's working so hard at school and not just on academics but at making good choices with his attitude and behavior. He has worked incredibly hard this football season that started long ago in July and has not ONCE complained about ANYTHING! Sure, he would love to get in the game and play more but he's never voiced that as a complaint but merely a strong desire. What I love most about Sam is his heart. He has a big heart that has the capacity to hurt along with others and that is not something I ever want to take for granted or pass up the chance to say how much I love the way he loves! I love you to pieces Sammy and thank God for you everyday!
