I had a moment tonight as I looked out over the landscape from our front stoop.  Off and on while we were in this house, Sam and I would get to spend some time together just before we [...]]]></description>

The Poem

I came home after work one day recently, and at some point in the evening, out of the blue, Sam says:

She&#8217;s been doing a good job, and recently completed said chart so as a reward, we&#8217;re going to Fairyland in Oakland.  This morning, we were talking about the day and she said she was going to [...]]]></description>

We&#8217;d looked around and found some pretty good deals on amazon, but we wanted to try it out in the shop before making a purchase like that.  So we went to a few different bike shops including [...]]]></description>

She didn&#8217;t know that that&#8217;s where her (great-)aunt Janet is from, so we talked about that. She asked where her (great-)aunt Scotties is from, and I said &#8220;Richmond, where Grand-mère lives [...]]]></description>

Mom just read Sam a draft of another children&#8217;s story, and now Sam is &#8220;writing&#8221; and telling stories.  The most recent one is something about how when Mommy was a little girl and Sam was a bigger girl and there was a fox in the woods and [...]]]></description>

Mommy, I have to do some work today {pause} on the computer.

I tried to get her to hold the pen &#8220;properly&#8221; but didn&#8217;t get far with that. Her &#8216;S&#8217; looked like something between a &#8220;d&#8221; and a squared-off &#8220;o&#8221;.  But later in the afternoon, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Sam,
I’m writing this to you on my 38th birthday.  This morning when I got you up out of your crib, you asked, “What day is today?”  I replied, “Monday.”  Then you said, “It’s Mommy’s birthday!  Happy Birthday, Mommy!”  And you gave me a hug.
Best. Birthday. Present. Ever.
