Sam was up very late last night. As it often happens with toddlers, his late bedtime made him wake up very early this morning as opposed to sleeping in. Why do they do that? Anyway, he was awake, but very tired and whiny. Nothing I did made him any happier.
I finally decided to ignore him and turned on a Johnny Cash special I TiVo'd last night. I'm not a huge fan of the Man in Black, but the few songs of his that I do like are some of my favorite songs ever.
Sam, as it turns out, loves Johnny Cash. As soon as the show started and Sam heard Johnny's voice, he calmed down. He watched the screen and swayed, hopped, and waved his arms to all the songs. After a while Sam climbed into my lap and continued to watch, completely relaxed and content. As the credits rolled Sam closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.
Now Sammy, be a good boy, don't ever play with guns...

I just got done reading your entire blog. You need to write a book! What a talented writer! Even though I have never met Sam, I feel like I already know him! Happy New Year to you!
