It's so fun to read how different Sam and Matilda's personalities are. I can't wait to see them again!

She does get her point across, with a one-year-old's vocabulary and lots of drama. I'm printing this one off for her scrapbook but I think it could be presented to her her someday in the future.

hahahaha. Poor Sam. I picture his sweet little soul sitting confused on the couch as his fiery little sister screams on the floor.
