Water Water Everywhere

Sammie did a great job this morning helping put the dishes away. Her job is to put up the plastics, carry over her stack of plates carefully and she remembered to drag her chair over to the island to be able to put away the silverware. She has a little more work to perfect her sorting skills.

 

Marti invited us to her neighborhood pool and we had a blast! I was a bit concerned about how Samantha would react to the water and her ear (today was our last day on antibiotics), but she loved it. She really enjoyed jumping and kicking her legs ("swimming"), but she especially loved splashing Marti! She really wore herself out.

 

 

 Sammie also got to play with her new water table tonight. She wanted to make a big mess, but I wasn't having it. She also wanted to climb inside.

First greasy cheeseburger (bite).

Daddy and I were watching videos of Sam from earlier in the month and it's amazing how much more clear her words are now and how much more she is putting phrases and ideas together.
We are close to being able to have a conversation with her. We are asking her things that she did throughout her day, with who, etc. We are hoping that she can start to tell us about her day with a few questions.
She is also doing an awesome job with her colors. She knows what color each color is, now whether she wants to tell you the correct one, is up to her.
She also can count 1, 2, 3 (Thanks to Ali- We count when we toss her a treat). She has also learned how many there are of something: 1, 2, 3

Her hair is so silky-beautiful after Daddy blow dries it.
