Singing “Sweet Little Sammi” All Summer Long

It is July 8th, only 18 days past the official start of summer and I feel I have already had my “sand bucket” full of happiness for the
season.  “I am literally going to explode with excitement.”  Sam has been to see Elmo & Abby Cadabby, Barney with the Kids Club Live Event, Park, Pool, Garage Saleing, Lapsit at the Library, Water Park, and so much more……  Every time I say “This is the stage/age I love the most!”….. it just keeps getting better; and there is still MUCH, much more to come!

Top Ten Updates from Sam-Sam

  1. 20+ word vocabulary , BUT she  repeats Elmo all day
  2. Outside is #1 on her TO DO LIST !!! And playing with the iPad is #2!
  3. Meat is still the Enemy, conquering yet to come… Loves her Baa-Baa – A.K.A bottle full of Milk
  4. Doesn’t understand the meaning of “NO”, “STOP” “DON’T TOUCH” “NO THROWING”
  5. Feels no need to wear shoes, immediately removes when strapped in car seat and shopping cart – “Ma’am, are these your daughter’s shoes?”
  6. Loves Bath time, but enjoys brushing her teeth the most, “Herby the elf wants to be a dentist instead of making toys”
  7. Still loves watching Sesame Street as a staple in the Behnke morning routine, and continues her praise for Elmo all day long
  8. Still dances when Barney is played from Comcast OnDemand, but she also dances to the washing machine cycling
  9. Recognizes the Meijer Store sign from 100 ft. away and is excited to approach, she loves the video cart, minus $1 from my weekly budget every time we go
  10. Continues to climb anything in her path with zero tolerance for fear, anxiety or hesitation

    Loved having 3 daughters, watching Sammi grow brings back wonderful memories. Uncle Rudi misses his little girls. One of his fondest memoriies is Andrea wanting a date with him as a reward for good grades, she was in grade school. She ordered a Shirley Temple with her meal.
