A day of firsts...

We missed so much as Sammy grew up in the orphanage without us, but we have decided to celebrate all the firsts that we get to experience with him! He continues to blossom in our house, becoming more and more loving everyday....However, we are seeing more and more of the "3 year old" issues everyday too...many more tears and tantrums than we experienced in China. It is positive because he is trusting us more and more and a good reminder that I need to slow down and not be in so much of a hurry sometimes ;-)

Here are the firsts that we got to celebrate with him today:

What a great idea! I have been a little upset with all the things we are missing out on with Gavin. I'm going to remember that one---thanks.
