Well, tonight was the first time that I broke Samuel's heart. As he has begun to get older I am trying to give him a little more freedom to roam around the house. Normally if he gets out of sight he will bring you whatever he finds. Most of the time he gets someones shoes or phone. Tonight was a different story. Grandmama and I were cleaning up the supper dishes and John was upstairs watching tv. Samuel walked into Grandmama's room and was gone for a minute or two. I walked back to see what he was doing and he was holding an old photograph of Grandmama's parents. He had pulled the pictures off of the cardboard frame. I freaked out. I said his name very firmly. You should have seen the look on his face. He did not know what to do. John and Grandmama came to see what was going on. He continued to be very upset for several minutes. He did not get better until he was able to help fix the pictures. I felt so bad for him. It broke my heart to see him so upset and crying. He would have nothing to do with John or Grandmama. I am sure this will be the first of many times he makes me feel like this.
After he recovered, we went to water the flowers and ride the golf cart. We rode down the Uncle's barn. When we got there the little black kitten came up the Samuel. Samuel wanted to pick up the kitten so I showed him how. He was so proud of himself. When he sat the kitten down, the kitten would come back and touch his pawn to Samuel's leg. It was so sweet!! I think the was a good ending to a not so good night.
