Sophie - 3/21/2017

Sophie had a couple bites of breakfast: flat bread and grapes.  For lunch she ate ground beef, whole wheat elbow noodles, peas, and applesauce.  After breakfast we had Story Time and we were reading about some animals.  It's been quite awhile since we've read this book and I asked Sophie; "What is a baby kangaroo called?"  She immediately said, "joey."  YUP!!  :)

Sophie was doing a Birthday Party for Avilene.  (There are cakes in this food set.)  She started singing "Happy Birthday to Avi" and soon Hudson started cheering.  Sophie scolded him; "Not Yet!! I'm still singing!!"  Haha!  In the meantime Avi had wandered off so they "blew out her candles" for her.  Ha!  Sophie plans these elaborate outings (reminds me of Sister Nora) - going to see animals, frequently shopping ("The Target Store and The Food Store"), and Hudson usually plays along with it all.  They also did some more "hiding."  Hudson was in the igloo and she pretended not to know where he was at and looked first on the other side of the room.  Then they switched roles.  He went straight to where she was at and she scolded him again (this is a frequent theme), "No Bubba!  Look on the other side first!!"

Here's a picture of Sophie in midair after jumping off the balance beam.  Just before she jumped she said, "Mom and Dad not help me up here cause I'm not scared up here.  :)

Here's a picture of the girls hanging out in the igloo!!  This was "Nora's maiden voyage" into that place!  Sophie obviously didn't want Nora to leave because when she started to crawl out Sophie grabbed her by the belt loop and hung on.  Ha!  In the last picture Sophie was rubbing Hudson's back and kept asking, "Is that better, is that better?"  Guessing by the dreamy look on his face I'd say yes.
