This Girl

Oh, this girl!

This sweet, silly, loving, caring, sassy four year old is such a joy in my life. She is awesome. 

It has been so much fun to have her as my sidekick this maternity leave and summer.

Her many loves include playing with her cousins... 

Going to the "care center" as she calls it (aka The Carousel).

She loves to do school and tells me daily she has lots of homework.

We recently went to the splash pad or the "sprinkle" as she called it. She had a blast. We will definitely be going back again soon.

Daddy is her buddy, they have so much fun together! He is so good with his girls, always willing to play princesses and Dora:).

She rocks at being a big sister. She is compassionate, caring, and so sweet with her baby sissy. Ava will give her the best laughs and biggest smiles. Ava's eyes never leave her sister when she is in the room.

She got a new pool for the backyard. The first day we just played with it in the house...

The next day we filled it with water and played outside all day.

She started swimming lessons down the street at our neighborhood pool. She took two weeks and will be starting two more weeks soon. She loves it!!

We got Steven a fire pit for Father's Day. Sophia is a s'more making champion!

And a s'more eating champion.

A few other Sophia updates just so I don't forget:

Favorites:

Foods: everyday for lunch she'll have wheat thins, cream cheese, yogurt stick, and apple slices, or applesauce. She loves spaghetti, Greek yogurt pancakes, and Hawaiian pizza. She loves milk, especially chocolate milk. Her biggest thrill are juice boxes which she only gets on special occasions:).

Shows: Max and Ruby, Sophia the First, Dora, and Caillou.

Activities: painting, swinging, going for walks, riding her bike, doing projects and "school", helping mommy with Ava and with cooking, playing babies.

Loves seeing: mail trucks, fire trucks, police cars, motorcycles, school busses, city busses, and any type of construction equipment.

She's a serious kick and I love her so much!!!
