Sam,
You wouldn't believe how much you have grown this year. You are so tall and handsome. This year you have enjoyed another great year at WCA. You made straight A's and are so well loved there. You have grown a lot in swimming this year too. You still have coach Rob and he has continued to be an amazing mentor for you. At school, I think your class was pretty immature because the teachers came to me and told me they thought you fit in better with the 8th graders. So, next year, you are skipping 8th grade. I hope it is the right decision, but I pretty much let you decide if that was what you wanted. You seem very academically motivated.
You are well liked everywhere you go. You still keep in touch with Alec from elementary school and you seem to have some good swim friends, although you never have them over to the house. You and Mattox still seem to be best friends and while it's great you love each other, sometimes I wonder if you both are content just being home, hanging out with the other.
You are a funny teenager. You walk around with your phone giggling at memes and oblivious to stuff going on around you. You give intense hugs at all the wrong times. You are slow moving and sometimes that drives me crazy. But you are sooooo lovely. You are capable of deep conversation. You are mature and understand things at a high level. You are able to navigate social situations well. You communicate so much without saying a word. I have really learned a lot from you in this area. You are sarcastic and you like to make fun of all my sayings. Deep down, I think you love them.
You are so hard on Eli but nicer to Madi. You are my go to person if I need dinner made. You are an anchor in our family, Sam and one of the best humans I know. I am so proud of you and I love you so much. I hope we were able to make your birthday as special as you are. Here's to many more!
Mom
