Over Booked & Under the Weather

So much has been going on! Samantha has gone to her first Hip Hop dance class,  just as Mama started getting a head cold, which the doctor has confirmed is a sinus infection. She loved the class, which she is taking with Laney, but sadly we need a pause in dance to do swim lessons.
Samantha is very laid back and will take things as they come to her. Mama can't swim and Daddy is a fish, so I was praying she'd be a fish as well; well, that's almost impossible if she's in the water with me. Some days she freaks out in the bath if water gets in her eyes, other days she's trying to show off. Last summer she would jump into my arms from the edge of the pool, this summer she was hesitant to lie on her back with Dad. But after a couple of days of swim lessons, she will jump off the edge into her instructor's arms, kick, blow bubbles, go under water, float on her back with assistance and just be a little guppy. The first day of class her instructor, Miss Abby, came up to us and let us know that all the other kids were hesitant about doing things, but Samantha was the only one who just went on and did it all. We are so very proud of her! Only 1 more week then we will move her up to the next level.

Library Card & Hip Hop 
We started the day at the library getting a brand new library card, which Samantha signed herself and picked up a few books. Before we left to go, she had to pick her bouquet of flowers for when she "gets older and marries Daddy".

Ms. Wendi & Christian picked up Samantha so Mama could rest and go to the doctor. They played-played-played in the sandbox and even went to Barnes & Nobles before the rain to play with lots of Legos!
