UPDATE

The Woodbridge Times is reporting that Samantha fell asleep in her new bed tonight. Her parents had to low crawl (on all fours) out of her room for fear that she would wake up. All was well until 5 minutes later when she woke up. Her mama rocked her back to sleep and placed her in her bed. In an interview tonight her parents are pleading for help. How will they get their daughter to sleep in her own room? They are asking for advice from anyone. Please leave a comment on the blog if you have suggestions or advice. More details to come.

BREAKING NEWS

Samantha was spotted sleeping in her new bed. She slept there for 4 hours on Saturday night. Her mama and dada are investigating into this matter. That's all the details that we have as of now. More to come.

Today I got a new bed. My mama and dada have been trying to figure out how to get me to sleep in my own room. I have been sleeping in their bed for a long time and I don't know why it is a problem. I hate that crib (prison) thing that they tried to make me sleep in. Who likes to be stuck in a thing like that? It was torture. I like to sleep in a bed without rails and a bed with my mama and dada. What's the big deal? Today we went to Babies R Us to get a Toddler Bed. My mama thinks that this might work. She is so naive. She means well but I think that she just likes to spend money. $100.00 later I have a new bed but they can't make me sleep in it. They are such fools! I bet you $100.00 that I will never sleep in that bed!

Pre Concert

We went to a pre concert lunch at On The Border by our house. I enjoyed passing crayons to my mama and dada and they had chips and salsa. I am so excited to see Laurie Berkner that I am busting at the seams. I still hope LB calls me to come on stage to play piano. Who knows? Miracles do happen. Even if you don't call me onstage LB, I will still heart you!

Check out my new shirt that I got today at Laurie Berkner. I love it. It is so comfy and I will wear it to daycare on Monday and make all my friends jealous. LB is a hit at my daycare and I know they will love it as much as I do. BUZZ BUZZ! That's what my shirt shows, a bumblebee, and it's my second favorite song.

1st Concert

My first concert rocked. I have no idea how my dada will top this one. She is awesome. She started the concert with my favorite song, Victor Vito. She had a cool dress on and bright pink tights with brown boots. I love her style. She even put a pig on her head. Next time I see her I will bring my monkey stuffed animal and I will put it on my head too. I can hear the song already...Sammie has a monkey on her head, Sammie has a monkey on her head, and she keeps it there all day. I heart you Laurie Berkner!

Laurie Berkner or LB for short was the best time ever. It was so much fun that it wore me out...no hard feelings right, LB? I got up too early and didn't take a nap although my mama and dada told me to. I had no idea that I would see my favorite rock star. It made perfect sense that the last song she sang was Good Night.

OMG! My dada bought all of us tickets to see my favorite singer and I can't believe it. I am going to see Laurie Berkner...my idol. Last year at Christmas I had another ear infection and was crying out of control...MISERABLE TO SAY THE LEAST. My favorite Auntie GiGi bought the Laurie Berkner DVD and the minute it was popped in I was a perfect little lady. All of a sudden everything changed for the good. I had the best Christmas ever. I can't wait to see her tomorrow and I hope she asks me to come on stage to help. I practiced the piano for a long time tonight just in case I go on stage. More to come!! xoxo Sammie

Such A Pretty Girl

my mama had to work yesterday but my dada was off. i got to spend the whole day with him. we played, we napped, he even took me to target. and look how pretty he did my hair. then, when mama got home, we all went out to dinner. the entire wait staff loved me but they sure didn't show it via their service. it was terrible. i did all i could, once again, to knock dada's beer over but to no avail. hope everyone is doing well. xoxo -sammie

I never met my dada's grandfather, my great grandfather, but from what my mama and dada have told me, he was a great man. I love you so much, Pop, for what you did for your country, family, and everyone you loved. Happy Veteran's Day, sir! I love you! You are an inspiration to all of us. BTW, that is the flag from your funeral and my dada's shadow box from when he got out of the Marine Corps. Since the Marines are, technically, a department of your Navy, he wanted me to tell you, on this, the Marine Corps' 233rd birthday, "Semper Fi". xoxo May you continue to rest in peace. -Sammie

Happy Birthday United States Marine Corps!

ZOO FUN!

Sammie went to the Reston park/petting zoo on Saturday. She had a lot of fun although the lamas and goats were very scary. They got very close to her...I think they thought she was a small animal they could eat. Her favorite animal there was the goose.

Amazing

Tuesday was a great day for me. I learned how to hold my cup and put it in my mouth..something I have not been able to do before. My mama came to pick me up from daycare and my teacher Amber told my mama that I had a new trick. I showed my mama and she couldn't believe her eyes. She almost cried. My teacher Ashley has also been working with me on holding my cup. I do so many things at daycare that I don't do at home and my momma says that's because I am stubborn. I have to keep some things secret right? I am so lucky to have amazing people taking good care of me and helping me achieve my goals. It seems like I do something new each day and my mama and dada seem so excited. I know that I don't always achieve my goals on time and I always surprise my parents but isn't that what makes the world go round? If everyone did the same thing at the same time it would be so boring. At least I am not boring!
