Sophie - 6/14/2017

Sophie had bites of french bread and no strawberries for breakfast.  Our lunch was cooking in a crock pot and Sophie said, "Hey Gary, it smells in here; like soup."  Does that soup smell good?  She said, "No."  Haha!  At least she ate a few small bites!  For lunch she had a few bites of Paleo Stew with ground burger, potatoes, green beans, carrots, cauliflower, broccoli - she ate crackers, and two servings of tropical fruit.

Hey, I was able to get all 4 kids that are here today in one picture!  :)  Nora was squealing and excited to have everyone close by.  Nora was thumping Atley and Sophie and so I was saying, "gentle touches" and showing her what a gentle touch looks and feels like.  Atley just seemed amused by it all.  Ha!  Sometimes the kids aren't very helpful when I'm doing a teaching moment like that!!  For example, Nora had also tugged on Sophie's hair on the way by.  So I was doing the "gentle touches" thing again!  Sophie said, "I like her pulling on my hair!"  Haha!  Well I don't and it's not helpful for you to say that!  :)

We got the tunnels out and the kids had fun crawling through!  Nora watched and crawled along the outside of the tunnel for a while.  She eventually went inside and I took the picture when she was first going in with encouragement from Sophie!  Thanks Sophie!!

Sophie was wearing the bumblebee jacket and cowgirl boots and standing in front of the mirror talking.  Who are you talking to?  She said, "Mom.  And she's a real Mom."  Then Sophie turned back to the mirror and continued to talk;  "Mom, can I sleep with my boots and jacket on?"  Ha!  So cute. It's so fun and fascinating when you can listen to their imaginative play!!
