Sophie - 1/23/2017

Sophie ate cheerios and banana for breakfast.  For Lunch she ate cheese sandwich, drank tomato soup, and ate 3 servings of pickled beets.  When I first introduced the pickled beets a few months ago I had to encourage the kids just to lick them or "kiss them goodbye." (Anything to get a touch of the juice on their lips!  Ha!)  Reid is not here today; he too will eat them, but doesn't like them as much as these three kids do.  Speaking of Reid, Sophie held up her hands before breakfast and said, "I didn't touch any toys!"  LOL!  RIGHT!!  (She gets that from Reid when he doesn't want to wash!)  She saw me laughing and proudly said, "I made you laugh!"  Yes you did!!  (It was toy exchange weekend and she touched TONS of toys!!)

Sophie was dancing and wearing 4 tutus when I took this 1st picture.  Little cutie!  I asked her, "Are you a Sugar"....and I couldn't think of what Momma Molly's U of M dance group was called!!  (I said Sugar Daddy, but knew that was wrong!  Ha!)  So I finally said, "Bear!!"  and Sophie started naming every animal she could think of!  It was SO cute and funny!  "Sugar lion, Sugar deer, Sugar dog, etc."  She and Hudson also played on the Mattress and Sophie chased him with a stuffed animal saying, "Momma gonna get you, Momma gonna get you!"  He was running for his life!  Then he grabbed a spatula Sophie was playing with and took off running again!  This time Sophie was chasing him saying, "Bubba!  Give me my iPad!!  Bubba!!  Give me my iPad!!"  Ha!

For at least an hour before lunch Sophie was being the "Momma" and Bubba was her victim...ooops, I mean child!  :)  He actually cooperated real well and even when he needed a break and I had to intervene he quickly went right back to "Momma!!"  Ha!!  In this next picture Sophie was packing her bag FULL of goodies to "go on Airplane!"  She was saying things to Hudson like; "Honey, we're ready...Momma's going.....want Momma carry you!?"  Ha!  Then she patted the couch and said, "Airplane Bubba...sit!"  So he dutifully climbed up there and sat!!  She also said, "Listen to me Honey!!  1 2 3 .... COME HERE!!!"  LOL!  (The old counting trick! Ha!)  Then in the last picture she told her Baby to sit on her lap and was using the doll bottle to feed him.  It was pretty entertaining and he played along for a LONG time!  I was impressed.
