Samantha went to another birthday party this weekend. This time it was Conners and it was at the park. She was the only girl in her classs to show up but she had fun. She played mainly w another classmate Bradley. She told me that he said "I love you" to her. It's starting! She was pretty happy when she realized there was a pinata (which she calles a peeata!)
