Luckily Samantha seemed to be feeling 100% better, because we had a date for our free class at Gymboree and she LOVED it. She loved being able to climb and bounce on everything. She especially loved hanging from the monkey bars (Grandma Re was impressed when I told her). She found a little boy to gravitate towards and quite by accident knocked him over. As he wailed and cried, Sammie gave him sorry hugs and I could hear all the moms in the class "awe". Even after class, a couple moms mentioned to me that that she is the sweetest thing. Yep, that's my sweet angel! Needless to say, we signed up.
The instructor came to welcome us (at the end, yep, we were late getting there. I swear they started early) and I guess she had been paying attention to Sam during class. She started with "Well, I don't have to give you the 'Shy Kid' speech," and yadda yadda. I asked what age Level 4 went to because, well honestly, some of the kids seemed a little younger or slower than Sam. Some looked as if they just learned how to walk and they couldn't talk. The instructor noticed Samantha's development and suggested we move up to/try Level 5 when Sam turned 21 months. (Level 5 starts at 22 months). She said she can notice when parents are more hands on with their child by the child's development. I felt very proud of myself (and Daddy, too) but mostly of Samantha for being an amazing gift to us!
During Say-Say's nap, Dada Rawr worked hard on tilling up the side yard and coincidentally he was finishing up just as Sammie was waking up. We hung outside and enjoyed some cold delicious watermelon and Daddy cleaned up the dirt on the deck.

Samantha put her blue shoes on all by herself! On the correct feet, also! She just needed help with pulling the straps through.
