Drip by drip, Sam's little persona emerges and blooms daily. We see the world through his eyes on such a deeper level now that he can describe his feelings, connections, and interests with words other than "Cars!", "Queen!" and "Dump Dump!"
We always knew him to be a sweetheart and lovebug, but we are even more delighted to have his thoughtful presence in our family now that he's talking. His mastery of "Tank you, Mommy" or "Tank you, Max" over the slightest gesture doesn't even begin to make the word 'endearing' seem adequate. When others are showing emotion through tears, or anger, he is quick to saddle up with a soft kiss to the shoulder, knee or cheek as an offering of empathy.
Taking a cue from his dad, Sam has found that the path of minimal words and perfectly timed affection to be quite effective and persuasive.
Watch out, world.
