Mail and Sam

I don't know if all people are like me, or maybe it is an at home mom sort of thing...but I love getting the mail. Today we went for a long walk at were heading home at like 10:30 AM, and I saw the mailman on our street! My heart soared, and couldn't believe it! Mail is usually here around 3, but has been as late as 5:30. I think in our 4 years here the mail has never beem earlier then 1:00...until today. So first it was early. SEcond, he saw the letter I was mailing (sometimes they miss those) so someone can get their birthday card...well late. AND it was a GREAT mail day. I got Mothering magazine! There was also the normal ads flyer that I always quick glance through but is usually junk. TOday, it had an IKEA flyer in it!!! YEA! It is the little things that are important sometimes!




So, the picture is Sam trying out his new rollerblades. WE hope it will help with his ice skating. Yesterday we went to the doctor, and unlike a year ago, Sam was awesome. He weighs 42 lbs (with clothes) and is 41 inches (he was slouching a bit) his BMI is 17 (I know what it is, but don't really get it) and he is still in the 75th percentile. The doctor was very happy and said he seemed like a healthy normal 4 year old. (Although- Sam did tell him he plays the balloon game on the computer, which the doctor then felt the need to say a little something about too much screen time, thanks Sam!) AND, I am his mom so I have to say this- the nurse thought he seemed very smart for a 4 year old =)

I have to admit, we've already got Amber hooked on computer games. She loves the alphabet zoo game on the fisherprice web site. Whenever we're on the computer she'll come up to us and ask "game? game? monkey? game?". (The monkey is her favorite animal in the game)

It's not just an "at home mom thing". I love getting mail and waiting for the mail is one of the things that I dislike. Our neighborhood usually gets mail around 4, sometimes as late as 5:30. I wish our mail came in the morning, but I guess someone's mail has to be delivered in the afternoon...
