Thanksgiving Day went very well. Samantha, bless her little toes, slept at all the right times and for all the right amounts that made it easier to put on dinner. Dinner was still three hours later than I'd planned, but that's okay. Leslie and Matt seemed fine. Samantha enjoyed the bits of turkey, tsimmes and potatoes that we gave her, and loved chewing on Leslie's shoelaces. Samantha even was kind enough not to break Leslie's glasses. Ella kept Leslie's feet warm when Sam wasn't chewing on the laces, so we had excellent help in hosting our guest. (and a very tolerant guest. Thank you Leslie!) It was a quiet day, but a thankful one.

Samantha is on the floor pulling out catalogs and videotapes. She didn't eat as much for breakfast today, but I guess she is on her 'not eat much' kick again. She was up twice last night. Once at 11 pm and once at 5:30. Matt took over the 5:30 am wake up and he said it took an hour to get her back to sleep. She slept until 8:30 after that, which was really nice.
