Sam is going to preschool (with the kindergarten curriculum) 5 full days a week now. She just completed her first week and loves it. Her friends were just as happy to see her and missed her over the summer! It was quite the reunion to see. Daddy and I could not be more proud of our eldest! The first day she informed her teachers repeatedly that she did not want to be called "Sammy" any longer, that they should address her as "Samantha" (please). Hilarious! Then, when it was her turn for show and tell, she told her class to be quiet and listen to her. Her teacher said that Samantha was not mean or whiny, but very assertive and gave a wonderful presentation of her Care Bear, the drawer from her dollhouse that she uses as a Care Bear holder and the family photos I sent along with her. I told Sam that I was very proud of her that she spoke up for herself and mentioned to her teacher that we try to teach assertiveness as often as possible.
Since my daughter is maturing so fast and has been asking to try makeup (which is scary on a different level), I thought it would be fun to play makeup. Life is better when you get to have free expression!
Sam decided that painting her entire face with red lipstick would be fun (and it really was)!
The results of our efforts.
Everything returned to normal when we finally got it off and no one was harmed in the removal of red lipstick!
I tell her every day that I'm very proud to be Samantha's mom and it is so true. She is amazing!
I am a little frightened by how fast she's growing up though... yikes!
