I have been friends with Kourtney and Katie since I was six years old. They are sisters, a year and a half apart in age, and I fall neatly in the middle. They are both incredibly kind and generous to the point of being ridiculous.
They came over last night for dinner. Both walked in with huge gift bags for Sam! Knowing them, I shouldn't have been surprised. I feebly protested, saying they shouldn't have brought Sam gifts. Katie said firmly, "He is turning TWO," and that was the end of that discussion.
Sam opened Kourtney's gift first - two new puzzles! Sam looked so excited. And these aren't ordinary puzzles. They are big, made out of wood, with the cutest illustrations...and they make noise! We had to get batteries out of the remote to try it out. Sure enough, when Sam put the horse in its spot, it neighed. He was absolutely shocked and delighted.
Sam was still excited about the talking puzzles when we had him open Katie's gift. He couldn't believe it when he pulled out dinosaurs! Three of them! Fierce and terrible! At the push of a button, they move their legs, swing their tails, and roar. (I left Sam in the living room and came into the office to write this post. I have been in here about 15 minutes, and Sam's new raptor has been roaring the entire time.)
Sam and I are so lucky to have such thoughtful friends!

I'm glad he still likes his dinosaurs this morning! You are raising such a great kid, Em. So well behaved, so sweet. He deserves all the presents that he receives!
