Sam - The Preschool Teddybear

For the week of October 6 - 10th Ben was "Star of the Week" at preschool. What that means is that we got to make a board of pictures of Ben and his friends and family. Finding pictures was not a problem, finding room for all the pictures we picked out was a problem. In additional to putting together a collage of photos you get to take home and care for Sam the preschool teddy bear. Sam has a journal and each family is to document the activities they do with Sam that week. The first day we had Sam home Ben asked if we could take some pictures of Sam. I thought that was a fabulous idea! Day 1 Snack time with Sam.

Friday October 10, 2008 - Sam's visit to Minnehaha Falls
Ben and Sam enjoying the beautiful Fall day. Sam picked out this leaf to remind him of his time at Minnehaha Falls.

One day this week Ben came home from the park and upon entering the house immediately started yelling, "Sam, where are you? I'm home, Sam I'm here don't worry I'm here now!" It was absolutely adorable! Ben has been very serious about his responsiblities regarding Sam. We are enjoying our last few days with Sam in Rochester. Ben was excited that Sam was able to see where Grandma and Grandpa Dockerty live in Rochester.

Tonight Ben is sleeping with Sam as his Mom forgot to pack, pillow, blankie and Apricot!

Thank goodness we had Sam with us!

We had a great week with Sam, we sure will miss him.
