I asked Sam last night what she wanted to eat for dinner, and she said “Thai food.” I guess I haven’t been cooking at home much lately.

She has been doing really well with her Friday morning swim lessons. Paddling, sliding into the pool on the toy slide, even leaping off the edge of the pool is all part of the fun for her. She is getting better at getting her face wet, but really she is so brave in the water that I am astonished. She does hate the shower, though. Hates it.

We went to the Bishops Bear Fair at the Bishops Elementary school today. They had ponies, and Sam got to ride the pretty chestnut pony named, and I couldn’t believe this, “Snuggles.” Sam got very happy when she heard this. She waited in line very patiently and was very good about sharing ‘her’ pony. She told me she wants a pony and she would let Trajan and Lucia and Cole ride it. I thought that was very generous of her. There wasn’t much else to do there, so we went home.
