Build-A-Kitty

This week Sammi got super spoiled with a trip to Build-A-Bear with Aunt Karie. The trip to Build-A-Bear was in honor of Sammi's birthday next week. Sammi loved it. After a little debate Sammi found a kitty and was instantly in love. She has been more than a little obsessed with kitties and had so much fun making her own little friend. She put four hearts in the kitty and would have stuffed the entire thing with hearts had I let her. Her favorite part was "cleaning" the kitty. Aunt Karie bought two outfits for her and got they kitty decked out in bows too. Sammi has started carrying the kitty around everywhere: the car, Gammy's House, restaurants, Wal-mart and to bed too. We aren't too original with names at our house so the kitty is appropriately named "Kitty." Thanks Aunt Karie for such a fun birthday present!

Sadie the Pony

So yesterday I am in the kitchen cleaning when I heard a "Yee Haw! Yee Haw!" I walk towards the family room to find Sadie on the ground. Sammi is straddling Sadie's back pretending to ride Sadie like a pony. She would bounce up and down yelling "Yee Haw!" and then giggling. Luckily Sadie happens to be about the size of a small pony. I swear I could see Sadie's mild exasperation with Sammi's antics written all over her face.

Nap times=Heaven

So at this moment my daughter is taking her daily nap. Jealous? Well you should be cause Sammi's nap times have become something of a sacred time at our house. After a morning of food, spills, meltdowns, playtime, bath time, random button pushing on all our electronics, I find that nap time is a beautiful thing. It is basically my three hours of heaven a day. I love Sammi but Sammi asleep is like a little angel. Sammi awake is like a really cute tornado. I don't pretend that Sammi is a difficult child cause as far as kids go she is pretty great, just super busy, super into everything and super energized. So I just thought I would say that I love nap times.

When Sammi is awake I love:

-Her loves!
-Her cute little voice.
-They way she jumps and lands right on her butt.
-The way she says her animal noises.
-The fact everything is "Blue" and if not blue her 2nd guess is always "Green" then "purple".
-The way she tries to sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and is sounds like "Tinkle, Tinkle Star"
