Playing with Friends

Sophia loves being outside. From the moment she wakes up until bath time she carries her shoes and drags her coat around until its time to play outside. She will refuse to come in the house after a couple hours to get a drink and a snack. She will cry, then once in the house refuse to take her shoes and coat off. She will have her snack with them on because it ensures she will be allowed to go back outside. Sophia is so funny with this. I don't blame her, we have all had too much winter.
Oh and she got her first sliver this week. On her hand. She came over and whined showing me her hand. At first I didn't catch on as I thought she just wanted something. I tried to take it out myself but she moves so much and I had to use a needle to get it out. I waited until Jason came home an hour later and we got it out together. Sophia did really well but we could tell it was sore.

She likes to throw the ball for Sidney and play in the garden.

Some of Sophia's Chores

checking the tire pressure...on random vehicles that we pass.

"Mom put the camera down and help me open the mail box"...disgruntled postal worker

"I love getting the mail. I get to hold the keys on the way there."

"then I get to carry the mail home for Daddy"

'I have to go shopping for stuff to make muffins"

My favorite part is stirring and putting in the paper liners into the pan. Mommy says you can tell which ones I did but I don't know what shes talking about"

'Ooooo I love helping to take the dishes out of the dishwasher"

Playing with Friends
Sophia has made some great friends with our neighbor girls. She loves hanging out with the big kids. And of course loves it when Iris comes to play. 

Sophia will ride in the wagon for about 5 minutes then wants to walk. She insisted she could pull Iris on her own.

'Sophia look at the camera....'

"Mom, don't embarrass me in front of my friends"

Sophia loves Jordyn. She will run past all the other kids to see Jordyn. Its so cute.

Hi Mama

first experience with a worm: She touched it but got a tiny bit of dirt on her finger and hated it.

Lady bug followed us into the house. Sophia watched it for a minute...

...but got upset when it was walking up my arm.

Sophia makes me smile everyday :)

"Hey Mom, they say this kid weighs the same as me and he's only 8 months old...

...yup and he's cute too"

"Its my job to keep Papa entertained..."

...or else he gets into trouble"

Sophia takes the first pictures of herself :)

Not bad eh?
Have a great week everyone :)
