Re Entry

Sam had a rough start to the day yesterday. I picked her up at Becky's and she was totally nochalant, then wouldn't let go of me all during her Tumble Bumble class. She wanted me to skip around the room while holding her. She is an extra 35 pounds! So she cried, and cried some more. We left the room for a bit and got some water, then I tried again for her to join them. Not good. She did do fine during swimming and also during lunch. Reda and her son Steven and Sam and I went to Krazy Karry's for lunch, a high end burger joint. My wee one was good as gold, but very sleepy. I tried to get her to sleep when we got home, but only managed to put myself to sleep. When I woke up, Sam was asleep on the floor of the den with a towel under her head and a quilt over her. She is very resourceful when she wants to be. She didn't even wake up when Hamlet walked over her and started kneading her shirt. I left her to clean the kitchen with Tucker curled up on the bottom of the quilt and Hamlet curled into her back.

She went to bed very sweetly last night, kissing the pink daisies numerous times, saying "I love you's" and "sleep well" to the pot. It seems to be a very sturdy plant, since it stood up well to all the hugging and kissing.

Sam is sitting at the ottoman now with about 10 books in front of her reading bits of them out loud, very happy. She loves her books, this one. We are going to kids playground today with Oliver, Trajan and Lucia, and their mom, Sue. I am borrowing Oliver from Angelica for the morning so she can take her new baby for her checkup. Should be a fun way to spend a soggy day, yet another soggy day.
