Here are a couple of recent photos left from Atlanta. The family I used to babysit for gave Sam some hand-me-down dress up clothes. She loved this snow princess outfit. Fitting given the 6+ inches of snow Atlanta got earlier this week that has turned to ice and will not thaw until this weekend. Funny how I view snow so much differently after living somewhere that actually snows regularly.
My mom had this horse for Sam. She enjoyed it, but I love that she got carrots out for it to eat.
When we got back to Huntington, there were even more presents. My aunt sent Sam a great puzzle. She needed some help, but I know she will soon be putting it together herself. Thanks Aunt Eunice!
Sam started a dance class this week. She has been begging to take dance and frequently dances around saying, "ballet, ballet." Here she is before class. She would not pose for a serious shot, but here is her silly face in a ballet outfit.
Sam's school planned a Christmas program that was cancelled in December when we got 6 inches of snow. They rescheduled it for yesterday. For the first part Sam was in, she just looked around for me and started crying when she saw me. I let her come over and sit with me. Then everyone went back to the room to put on white shirts to look like a choir for the finale. I had to promise to watch Sam eat her pudding snack for her to agree to sing.
She did great in this one, singing and bopping along with the music. She is right under the speaker. I watched her eat pudding afterwards and watched her get a sticker. She has been crying less, just at drop off and after I left after the show. She ate on Monday, but not on Tuesday. At least it is some progress.
