The Exhibitionist


I hope this, "I can take my own diaper off" thing doesn't become a habit......

"Playing" Together

 Sam adorned Thatcher with Disney Princess stickers.

Little Stinker!

How soon till Thatcher takes revenge on her?


For now, he doesn't seem to mind,

 so much so that he continued to put more stickers on himself!

The Ice Cream Man

 It was 90 degrees. I heard the bells coming down our street. I caved.  I flagged down the ice cream man and let the kids pick out something.
 
 Samantha chose Dora.

 Thatcher chose Tweety Bird.

And then I began to feel really old.

  It seemed like ages ago that I would get a Push-Up or better yet remember Buried Treasures? 


After you finished it the stick would have some sort of character on it.

Which leads me to another reason why I felt old......  Samantha didn't know who Tweety Bird was, she kept telling me it was Sponge Bob!




He's laughing at me!!!!!!!!!!

What's Up at Preschool

 Sam's class planted seeds and she chose to plant broccoli.  She was so proud to show me that hers was one of the first to sprout (last one on the right).  I told her she had a "green thumb" which after I said that I realized I made a mistake since everything is taken so literally to a 3 year old. "No Sam, you don't REALLY have a thumb that is green.....".  20 minutes later, "Mom, is my thumb turning green now? How about now? NOW?"


You should hear her belt out some of her Hip Hop rhymes.  We may have an American Idol on our hands.

Sam's Tadpole
Spring Water Colors

Notes from the teacher are my favorite to find in her cubby

And finally, this is what she brought home today.  A pretty good shiner on her right eye. 

"WHAT HAPPENED?!"

"I'm okay Mom.  Connor and I were pretending to be Jets and I crashed."

My Fancy Girl


First it was, "Mom, can I put on makeup?"  and now it is, "Mom, can I play with your jewelery?"

What?


"What? You have a problem with the way I eat my yogurt?"

Gymnastics

Samantha started gymnastics today at Girls Inc.  We've tried other programs in town and this is by far the best.  It was fun to see girls just a little bit older the Samantha in adjacent classes and how advanced they were.  I am hoping she sticks with it.
