Sam's Story: Week 89 October 10, 2005
Slow week this week, so let's start off with the pictures right off the bat:

As you can see, Ger and Sam went pumpkin hunting with their play group this week, and they returned triumphant with a big orange gourd. Sam has become quite attached to the thing, actually, and insists on carrying it around the house whenever possible. I plan to repeat my Emoticon Jack-O-Lantern from last year.
What we may not be able to repeat from last year is Sam's success at Halloween dress-up. We've been looking for a good costume for her, but we've come up empty-handed for the most part. We may be forced to go with "toddler."
On Saturday we all three went to the birthday party for a friend of Ger's from her play group. Actually, it was her 2-year old daughter's birthday, but it's a kind of poorly kept secret that birthday parties for kids that age are really for the parents. At any rate, there were lots of kids there, and it was once again interesting to see how Sam related to them (not at all) and how she handled the chaos (extremely well). Sam's kind of weird in that at home she'll pretty much always try to demand attention, but put in the middle of a large group of people in a new environment, she'll take off and do her own thing. Like play with a truck or smell the roses. She's complex, man.

I love Sammy's personality. She sounds like she's going to be an individulist. Wow sorry for poor spelling...I think.... Anyway, I think Sam is very cool! Way to go parents!

Thanks! :) Sam does have a sweet personality most of the time, but she's definitely getting stubborn.
