Why Does It Snow?

It was snowing today.  As Sami and I were walking to the subway station, we were having a conversation about snow.  She then told me that the clouds squishes out the water therefore the snow comes down from the clouds - interesting (^-^), coming from a four year old - I will accept that theory.

Samantha is 4!!!

Happy 4th Birthday Samantha!!!

More pictures to come (^_^)

My Future Kindergartner

Sami is now registered for School Year 2010 - 2011, Junior Kindergarten.  We went to her future new school today for registration, so she is officially enrolled.

The Most Effective Way.......

So what is the most effective way to get what you want?  Chant it! - according to Sami that is.  Chant in different tunes - monotone or singsong whatever may be her mood at that moment.

Like:

She wants the channel changed to Treehouse TV - she would go:  change the channel, change the channel, change the channel - until you realize that there is this chanting-like sound in the background. 

I want my dudu, I want my dudu, I want my dudu - like a bee in your ear.

Being resourceful however, she now figured out how to turn the lights on and off - the back scratcher apparently is not only for back scratching.

Sami's Valentine's Party

Yesterday was Sami's Valentine's Party - she has been looking forward to Valentine's Day since after New Year.  She would say after New Year, it's going to be Valentine's Day and then it's going to be my birthday!  I think Valentine's Day for her is a marker that soon it will be her birthday.  It also means that she is going to give treats to her friends.  She was helping me while I was preparing the treats that she would bring to school.  Everytime she placed a treat in each bag she'd say:  "I am Mommy's great helper."  (^_^)  After school she happily showed me the treats that she received from her friends - but most of all proudly showed us the card that she made for Mommy and Daddy (^_^).

....and then it's going to be my Birthday!

I asked Sami what she wanted for her birthday......she said, "Mommy, I want earrings!".   I was expecting something like:  Cinderella or Belle or even Barbie - but earrings?  Totally unexpected!  My baby is growing up, somehow I associate her having pierced ears with being grown up, therefore, I said to myself - not until she's in 1st Grade at least....so I'll pretend I didn't hear her and buy her something like Cinderella or Belle - ah she wants shoes to go with her Belle Princess dress - my girly girl.
