For the most part, Sam is a really calm, level-headed kid. Recently he has been doing a LOT more imaginary play. Those imaginary situations have shown a whole new side of Sam.
Yesterday I was cleaning the bathroom and Sam wandered in. I handed him the orange matchbox car I'd found behind the shower curtain. "Oooooh!" Sam said excitedly and turned to run out. He tripped, dropping the car, making it bounce and skid into the hallway. Things like that happen all day, every day, and I've never seen him care - before yesterday.
Sam put a hand on the wall to brace himself. "Orange!" he cried. He ran to the car and threw himself on his knees. He scooped it up and cradled it in his hands. "Orange, you 'kay?" He stood up and carried the wounded car into the living room, still talking to it soothingly.
He really, REALLY, loves his cars.
(Sam says Happy Birthday, Koko! We love you!)
