Today was Sammy's last day of Martial Arts for the fall session. Normally, each session ends with a "show-off" of what the students have learned followed by a yummy pitch-in dinner. Unfortunately, the dinner was postponed this year. Nonetheless, Sammy's "helper", Mina, (the girl who has volunteered with Sammy for the past year) found the perfect way to make the evening extra special for Sammy. They had their own little gift exchange. Mina gave Sammy a huge, soft, squishy stuffed dog (her favorite) and Sammy gave Mina a little dog keychain and a silly pair of socks...oh, and a HUGE hug!
