Since mom went to Myrtle Beach for 4 days to celebrate Mother's Day, dad got to spend an extended weekend playing with Pete and Sam.
If everyone in the world could spent four days hanging out with Sam, I am convinced that mankind would be far happier.
- Sam is overjoyed to do any activity. Ask Sam if he wants to help sweep the grass. Or stack some blocks. Or if he likes cereal. You will get a response such as in this video.
- If you take Sam to the playground, and then to Wendy's for lunch, when you sit down to eat lunch he will say "this is the best day ever".
- Sam will don a suit of plastic armor and attack Pete with no military objective and no hope for victory. When he has sufficiently recovered from his injuries, he will put the suit back on and attack again.
- At the end of one of those days where everything goes wrong, if you ask Sam what was the worst thing to happen he will not understand the question and will not be able to remember any problems that occurred.
- When playing a video game, Sam is thrilled to watch the opening credits, select a character, and achieve Game Over.
- Sam loves to watch someone else do something successfully. His joy is unaffected by whether he can do it.
- A few minutes after coming into the house from jumping on the trampoline, he will decide that he wants to jump on the trampoline again.
- Sam selects clothes based on comfort. Style is not relevant.
- When playing a game, after a player achieves victory Sam would like to continue playing until everyone has won.
