Sophie - 2/8/2016

Sophie ate kix cereal and two servings of mixed fruit for breakfast.  For lunch she ate ham sandwich, most of peas, and three servings of mandarin oranges.  At lunch time I told her she could come get her bib and she immediately (like usual) started trying to herd the boys to the lunch room too.  Just like she tried herding them to the couch when I announced "Reading Time."  :)

We did a toy, book, and puzzle exchange this weekend.  Sophie enjoyed exploring the different things and zeroed in on the toaster you see in the picture.  She was working hard to master getting the "bread" into the toaster and pushing the buttons to push the bread down, and then the button to pop the toast out.  In the meantime, Reid and Cooper are making a "weapon" out of their toaster!!  (BOYS!)  Ha!  The toast really does shoot out of these toasters pretty good!  Read (while pointing his toaster at a "target") said, "I popped the toast at the bad guy!"  Hahaha!

I was carrying the breakfast tray into the kitchen and putting some things away and I hear Sophie saying, "No no no no..."  So I'm thinking (and I was right) the boys are doing something they are not supposed to be doing!  Ha!  Thank you Sophie.  I go out and she's demonstratively pointing out their indiscretion - they've got the legos drawer stacked high with everything they can grab.  Pillows, food toys, dolls, doll blankets, etc.  :)  Cooper said, "Reid started it!"  Hahaaa!  It's amazing how quick this age group will throw each other under the bus!!  That always cracks me up!

Then later Sophie kicked Cooper and he said, "Sophie kicked me."  So I told her to be gentle and that kicking is not acceptable.  I told Cooper to tell Sophie; "I don't like that."  He said, "I don't like that Kenzo!!"  Then he realized what he'd just said and got a huge grin on his face.

(Picture below)  I love the dreamy expression on her face.
