I wanted to remember all of the “fun” we’re having with our precocious princess and all of her adventures. Samantha (Sammi) is two and a half, looks like a five year old and acts like a teen aged two year old. She is extremely precocious (Manifesting or characterized by unusually early development or maturity) and way too independent. Sammi has a “baby butter” as she affectionately called him when he joined our family. His name in Dade and is on his way to becoming the precocious prince. They adore each other, wonderful siblings so far. Our newest adventure with Sammi is bedtime. We never had much trouble putting her to sleep, but just this week she started screaming uncontrollably to not go to sleep. We have been up until midnight fighting with her many nights this week. There is nothing that has worked except letting her fall asleep with myself in our bed. When Phillip (my husband) goes to bed he has to put her lying on the floor on the side of him. She refuses to sleep in her own room, heck she’s refusing to spend any time in her room and we have a strict rule of no kids sleeping in our bed. So she sleeps on a mat on the floor. Hopefully she’ll grow out of this phase and begin some other crazy adventure.

A couple of weeks ago Sammi went through an I can eat everything phase. She first started the week by swallowing a nickel, my mom was watching her and saw her swallow it. She called me in a panic and we started our rush to the ER, I hadn’t thought it was a big deal having remembered my sister swallowing multiple coins as a child and waiting for them to pass. On our way I called our doctor and they told me to wait for it to pass and call in a week. Well the next night she decided to get a bottle of Excedrin PM out of the medicine cabinet to play with in her room. She brought the bottle to me with the cap off and the blue remnants on her lips. Needless to say Phillip and I went into instant freak out mode,”Sammi did you swallow any? Sammi how many did you eat?” “Sammi why did you want to play with medicine?” The first thing that came to Phillip’s mind was to gag her to bring the meds out. I stood in the kitchen counting the pills to figure out how many were missing and I hear Sammi screaming, “No Daddy, No!” and then all of the sudden Phillip started screaming “AHHHHHHHHH”. Well duh of course she’s gonna bite him and bite him she did, she sunk her teeth in really deep. Phillip is furious and I’m still frantic, so I call poison control and they tell me to rush her to the hospital because we don’t know how many she ingested. Phillip stayed home with Dade and I called my mom on the way to the ER to come meet us. The nurses set her up with an IV and took blood to figure out the amount of aspirin in her system. They also set up an xray to check on the nickel. As we’re waiting the three hours for the results Sammi tells my mom that “daddy was trying to put my head in the toilet, so I bit him, I have giant teeth, See!”

Tests came back and she was found clean, whew. We arrived home at 2:30 am and exhausted from our adventure.
