Sam is sitting behind me in her car seat. She has on her lion coat, the yellow one with the orange fake fur trim on her collar. She also is wearing her metallic yellow sunglasses, which Daddy got for her. She loves them. I have to say, she looks pretty jazzy and cool in her finery. She takes a sip of her juice and goes “ahhh!” just as if she was tasting a fine wine or a really good bottle of cold beer. I have to crack up. She is such a person!

Martha at the gym play group said that Sam did really well at the gym this morning. She was more relaxed and seemed to actually enjoy herself. She told Martha that she needed a new diaper, and was very determined that Martha understand exactly what she wanted. Martha said she was a very determined child. I keep hearing that from people who spend time with her. I have to agree with them. She decided today that she is taking bunny with her wherever she goes, and that bunny is cold without a coat. I explained that bunnies have their own coats already that keep them warm in any weather, but that wasn’t good enough. She wasn’t happy until I had promised to make a special coat just for Bunny so he would be warm too. She is very thoughtful and nurturing to her Dolly and now Bunny. I am very proud of her.
