Sam has hit several milestones all in the month of January:
1. He became a
TEENAGER on January 20!! (can't get the picture to download, will add later).
2. He got his first digital device, an
i-pod. (But he just has some books and a bunch of ballroom music on it so far -- so I don't think he's sharing with his friends...)
3. He gave his
first talk in Sacrament Meeting. He did a very good job!
Topic:
Using our talents to serve others. He talked about the importance of working on developing our talents so they get to a point that we can use them to help others. Examples: leading the music in church, playing the hymns on the piano, practicing the trumpet to be part of the school band, dancing to be part of a team, working on sports so that when he's an adult he can help coach.
4. He got
contacts!! We just skipped the glasses phase and went straight to the contacts. He's getting better at getting them in and out. It take a steady hand and nerves to poke yourself in the eye without flinching.
5.
BRACES!! We think he likes them because he couldn't stop grinning for about three days. Unless it was when he looked at food that he was too sore to eat...
