Sam's results came back and he rated "average" in all areas of his psych evaluation for school.  Just like his momma...I am good with average.  There are areas that Sam is above average in that he was not tested on...dance skills, showing love, running like a wild man and singing on key.  Yes he is four and he has a lot of time to prove himself to teachers and his mom. You are created just as God intended you to be sweet boy!  The last thing checked off of our list. Now to wait on our enrollment letter...

Testing day

This morning Sam and I headed over to a psychologist office for him to be tested in order to attend my private Christian school next year.  He came back down the hallway running after 45 minutes of questions. The lady said he did a great job and that he was "smart".

When we got to,the elevator I asked him " What did Miss Jennifer ask you?". He said "she asked me what I do when it rains?". I paused and thought about what we actually do when it rains...yep you got it right....we run like crazy to the car!  I asked him what was your answer? He says " You use an umbrella momma!". Thank God for picture books. I might need to amp up on my parenting skills. It made me take a step back and evaluate all that I model for him.

Reminds me to be mindful of all that I say and do around him.  Good day.  Summer is a comin!

Looking forward to summer

It is cinco de mayo and cold and raining outside.  Brrrr!  Bring on the heat. We are ready for summer fun.  Here is a view of the dolphins feeding at Seabrook island and Kiawah last summer
Can't wait to do it again!.

FOUR

We made it to the number 4. It may take a week or two before Sam will quit saying that he is 31/2.  Unfortunately we had to stay home from school on his birthday due to a fever last night. We are doing better today but had to obey the 24 hr rule.

He always likes to talk about the orphanage and when we met. He likes the idea that I chose him.  One day the story will turn into God chose him for me.  So thankful for God's sovereignty in my life.

Day before the big #4

It has been along time since I have been on this blog. Life is great with Sam! In the last year we have dealt with tubes in the ears and constant troubles with allergies and bronchitis. We are on the mend right now with another antibiotic. This birthday will be the last one that we celebrate on April 22. His new birth certificate says August 20th. We all know this is incorrect since I was given the referral in June when he was 2 months old, but it would require a new birth certificate from Ethiopia. Not trying to make that miracle happen at this point in life. So taxes are done and now we need to make his new name get on the social security card. It is always something. We are looking forward to the summer time and spending time at seabrook island and MO. It seems like I did much of my writing when I was down at Seabrook. Easy to write when you are at the beach! Thankful for my life and the people in it. Don't ever want to take that for granted. Welcome back bloggers!
