I picked up the dress from alterations that Annette will be wearing to a ball in China and when Samuel saw it, he said, "oo-la-la!"
It's been a while since I've written about Samuel, so here's a snapshot.
His favorite game these days are Terrarium, an iPad game where the player can explore and do whatever he wants, sort of like Minecraft, I think. And of course, there is minecraft.
Last year, he and Joshua were really into Pokemon, and they spent endless amount of time discussing Pokemon cards and battles. And they are still very into their legos, especially Star Wars.
He likes to watch football games. He has a basic understanding of the game, but really just enjoys the action of running, catching balls, tackling. And the score. We got a taste of football, first at Harvard, then in China, and here with college and the NFL. He enjoyed watching Beastmode and seeing him play against the Patriots in the Superbowl earlier this year.
He still has his particular fashion sense, like wearing his socks way up high. And he enjoys running. He still expresses his love language of physical touch by snuggling up with me and Annette as much as he can. He's not physical like that with his brother, which is interesting, the first time I've realized that.
He also enjoys cooking scrambled eggs, and eating them. His favorite dish is rice mixed with seaweed and sesame oil, which he calls his special rice dish. And his favorite restaurant is Koba.
