Funny Story

Yesterday, after a diaper change (#2), Sami got very absorbed in playing with the stack of clean diapers that I keep next to her changing pad. She was so focused on moving the diapers from one place to another (making a big mess), I couldn't help but try to break her intense concentration. (Spend a little time with Sami and you will learn how she can get into a zone of laser focus that nothing can break.) So, I started asking her a number of random questions and she would automatically respond by shaking her head no, barely acknowledging my existance. It didn't matter what the question was, the answer was always the same.  For example, I would say, "Sami, did you have fun playing outside today?", "Sami, can I have a kiss", or "Sami, do you love your mommy?".  I probably asked her 20 or so questions and without fail, she would shake her head no and continue to do her thing.  Andrew then walked into the room and I explained what I was doing and asked Sami another question to demonstrate.  Then Andrew asked her, "Sami, did you just go poop?".  This time, instead of shaking her head no, she tightens her tummy, squints her eyes, and grunts twice. LOL!
