Well, just call me the toy goddess. I wrestled that Zebra bouncy seat from bits into a working bouncer in one half hour. Yee Haw! Now I want to go wake her up so she can play on it and I can watch her play on it. How did my parents ever wait until Christmas morning to see us with those special presents?

I met a friend for coffee this morning, and Sam was flirting with the 4 year old boy next to me. I think she liked his rain boots, actually, but she kept acting coy. She also was playing peek-a-boo with the elderly lady sitting behind me. I had to keep grabbing her to keep her from running around the coffee shop, and I thought she was going to climb up the wheel chair in one agonizingly embarrassing moment, but it passed and she kept walking. The guy in the wheelchair completely ignored her. Hmph! How anyone could ignore a sweetie this cute, I just don't know. Big smiles for everyone.

She had fun with our babysitter today too. When she got up from her nap I told her that Colleen was coming, and she gave me a big smile and waved her hands around. Ella ran to the door. I guess Colleen is a big hit in the household. I still got lots of smooches when I got home, so I feel pretty good. She was sitting on Colleen's lap having a book read to her, so I thought that was pretty cool. It is such a relief to have someone fun to watch Sam for a bit so I know I'll get a break during the week. It isn't long, but it makes a huge difference.
