Sammy's First Tag

Five things you might not know about Samantha:

1- Samantha is afraid of a lot of things. Mostly normal things like ghosts, the dark, etc. But she is also petrified of elevators. If she even sees one she starts crying and backing away. If we do force her to ride one (which we always do) then she insists on us holding her while she whines. Her little phobia seems to be getting worse, not better the older she gets.

2-She's a biter. When I was a nursery leader at church I always thought, "I hope my kid is never the biter." I think I got jinxed because Sammy loves to bite. Mostly it is just her cousins but sometimes she bites Matt or me. She even tried to bite her baby cousin recently. We really are trying to teach her not to but as with most things we try to teach her she only remembers for about 3 seconds.

3-She has a security bunny. Most kids have something...hers is a pink bunny. She wants to take it everywhere and it has to be in her bed when she sleeps. If it falls out of bed in the middle of the night she will come into my room and ask me to come find it. We just went on a little trip and when I made the packing list I made sure I put Bunny on it or we would be in trouble. It use to be the binky she would have break downs over...now it's a funny little pink bunny!

4-She loves to be naked! I have the hardest time keeping her clothes on her. If someone even talks about taking off clothes in front of her she will. If she spills a drop of water on her clothes she will get naked. We were at the park for play group and some of the kids were jumping in a puddle of water. Sammy joined them and of course got naked. She loves to take off her clothes on the trampoline. I'm pretty sure all my neighbors think weird things about us when they see her constantly jumping naked! When we had our fence installed this summer she was jumping naked when the workers came. I kept getting her dressed again but she kept getting naked. Should I be worried?

5-She is a bag lady. She loves to collect things, put them in a bag and take them everywhere with her. She gets treats out of the pantry and divides them up into individual Ziploc bags to share with her cousins. We can't go outside without her collecting rocks, leaves, berries or acorns and putting them in bags. She even knows which drawer Matt's mom keeps her bags in so she can help herself there. If she doesn't finish her food she asks if she can put it in a bag for later. She is always taking Ziploc bags out at home and putting her toys in them. The best part is she then puts the bags in her toy shopping cart and hauls all her junk around. Our little bag lady.
