Advertise me!

A little while back Sam presented me wth a piece of paper, neatly folded down the middle  On the front was written "Booklet about me Sam". 

"I want you to write about me, about who I am."

"Erm, okay, but why?

"Just to tell people about me."

"Is this for school?"

"No, just because I want it."

"Oh."

And I scribbled a quick paragraph detailing place and date of birth, full name and parent's names.

"Is this alright?"

"Yeah, but write more about me on all the pages, like, advertising me."

"Er, okay."

He loved what I wrote, and I thought I would capture it here, for posterity.

Sam Card is 7 years old.  He was born on the 4th of August 2004 at the Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle, by Cesarean section.  His parents, Steve and Tanya Card chose to call their precious son, Samuel John Card.

Sam is an engaging lad who is generally polite, well mannered and good company.  He is a bright, articulate boy who loves to learn and is always keen to demonstrate his knowledge.

He is by turns earnest and mischievous and developing a cracking sense of humour.

Sam is a sociable character who loves spending time with his friends.  He does have a very well developed sense of personal injustice which means that he often feels his feelings have been hurt, when no offence was actually intended

He is a very creative child who uses his vivid imagination to invent tremendous games for himself and his little brother to play.

He occasionally has a real struggle dealing with his angry feelings.  His mum and dad are trying to help him learn the socially acceptable way of expressing his anger.

Sam has a real talent for and love of creative lego building, envisaging and constructing his own designs and then creating a game and back story for what he has made.
