Today my nephew, Sam, turned 6!!!! I called his house before he went to school. Here is how the conversation went:SAM-"Hi Auntie
ME/AUNTIE- "Happy Birthday to you. You live in a zoo. You look like a monkey, and you smell like one too! (Sung beautifully)
SAM-Doesn't make a comment
AUNTIE-"Did you like my song?"
SAM WITH DISGUST- "Well, not the MONKEY part!"
I love that kid! He came and stayed the night at my house, so we had presents hidden for him.
When Sam was 2 1/2 years old, I flew to Colorado to help Kate and Scott move back to Utah. Sam and I became fast buddies. He will call and say, "Auntie, can I come play at your house?" I loved our play dates! I still love our play dates but I have to remember that Sam is a "big guy" now and he loves me but he can't be overly affectionate any more. How sad? When I went to buy him a present I found myself looking in the cars and trucks.....things that he has long since outgrown! He has always been my buddy. I just have to accept that he is now my "little bit more" grown up buddy!
