Sophie - 1/9/2017

Sophie ate most of chex cereal and mixed fruit for breakfast.  For lunch she ate half of pulled pork sandwich, drank tomato soup, and ate two servings of pickled beets.  Sophie likes to get bibs at meal times for Hudson and Avi.  Hudson frequently doesn't appreciate her help (ha!) and I told her I'd take care of Hudson.  Sophie said, "I'll take care of Avi!"  :)  Then at Lunch time Sophie came out (after playing with toys steady for 2 hours) and said, "I didn't touch any toys!"  (Holding her hands out to show me how clean they are!)  LOL!  Oh man, I roared!  She got that from Reido who is always trying to tell me why he doesn't need to wash his hands before he eats!!  (Except he's not here today.)

We did a toy, book, and puzzle exchange this weekend and I took this picture when Sophie was playing with the food toys!!  Avi went over to where Sophie was at and was checking out Sophie's food display!  Hudson came over to show Sophie a book and that was a perfect distraction so Avi could move in!  Sophie's favorite high-pitched squeal this morning: AVEEEEEEEE....... AVEEEEEEEE!!  Actually Avi was doing quite well I thought!!  Sophie was way more worried about what Avi might do instead of seeing what Avi was actually doing!!  As soon as Sophie would yell Avi would flee the scene!!  Ha!!  (with empty hands!)

Sophie looked at lots of books in this toy exchange and lined some up along the top of the couch.  We read books at Story Time as well.  Sophie also played with legos, dolls, and phones.  A few years back Reid's Mom worked for AT&T and supplied me with LOTS of discarded flip phones for the kids to play with.  When Sophie saw this toy exchange this morning she said, "Where's blue phone?!?"  I knew which one she meant, but I was surprised she remembered it!!  Sure enough later in the morning she found it way at the back of a toy shelf!!  (She hasn't seen this toy exchange for 16 weeks!!)

One of the kids (or I) will always mention when the mail arrives.  These three went to the window to watch.  (Reid is not here today.)  When I took this picture Hudson and Avi were looking at Sophie and she apparently has a toy in here mouth.
