Smarter and bigger

Tara says Sami is peculiarly smart and that is making her nervous because she is probably going to be smarter than us.  :)  She seems to understand everything we tell her.  Tara’s mom asked her to go get a blue crayon the other day and guess what she came back with, a blue crayon.  She is also trying to learn and do things on her own.  Of course, most of these are what Josh does and that sometimes irritates him because she tries to do it while he is.  For example, Josh will be playing with cars and she comes up and starts to copy him.  This especially infuriates him when she is grabbing the car he is playing with.  :)  I have an old laptop here at home that I have been letting Josh use to play games.  Sami loves to watch him do this and sometimes tries it on her own as well.  She’ll drag me over to open it up and bring up a game and then she just bangs on the keyboard.  Doesn’t last long and she usually moves on… unless there is music to it and then she’ll just let the music play and sit and listen to it.  One of her latest things is getting the little boombox of Josh’s and putting CD’s in it, listening for about thirty seconds and then putting in a new cd.  Repeating this every thirty seconds rather annoys Josh and anyone around.  Sami is also moving into her big bed.  We didn’t really have to do this as she has only climbed out of her crib twice.  She tried a third but hurt herself and never tried since.  We even had it all the way down.  I put her to bed for a nap one day in the big bed and fell asleep with her.  Ever since, that is where she has wanted to sleep.
