Howdy!

Samantha had to get "fully dressed" to go out and tell Daddy bye-byes this morning.

We did early drop off again at school and she was ready to run from me-- I had to ask for a kiss and hug bye. I think she likes being in Ms. Niki's class, which is good, because she'll be there next semester!

I worked a little late tonight and on our way home Samantha asks me, "Mama, you help people feel better? I share at the hospital, too?" I don't know what she was talking about sharing, but it made me feel like my work is important, getting patients their medications. I help a lot of people feel better at [my] hospital. 

**It's been a couple of months, but Samantha will say "I love you!". Some times she'll throw us off saying "I love you so much!"**
** I think her last 2 bottom molars are coming in! This time it hurts and she'll complain that her teeth hurt.
 ** Samantha can count to 14, after that most of the numbers either sound the same or she seems to say the odd ones.
** We're still working on shapes (again).
** Will have a conversation with anyone. She wants to know everyone's name and if they have a doggy. After asking me and me telling her she has to ask the person, now, she just goes up to the person.

**She has a song list of songs that she loves to sing. This week's fav is "Warm kitty, Soft kitty, Little ball of furr."
** She is starting to get so creative and more verbal. She loves to dance and sing and will bring up anything that happened in the day or previous days and ask you about it, in specifics. 
** She has become potty-independent. She says, "I have to go potty, by myself. Don't help me." and will shut the door. She does a great job, pants down, potty-ing, wiping and pants up. Some times they'll be a little rolled up.
