Sophie Update

A few things about our 2.5-year-old:

Sophie loves bananas. The whole thing. She calls it "BIG BANANA!" And she wants to eat it "MICE ELF!"

Sophie is not potty trained. Enough said.

Sophie can eat an entire bowl of kale chips without looking up.

Sophie is going to be a "Cricket" when she graduates from the Twos room at school in September.

Sophie always sits on the teacher's lap. Any photo they send us - and they send them every single day (so they're more dedicated than your blogger, here, but they are being paid...) - has Sophie on a grownup's lap. She's just more comfortable there.

Sophie has a little rubber lizard that she has carried around all week and refers to it as "my frog." Don't try and tell her any different.

Sophie still sucks her thumb and it is so incredibly cute. Remind me I said this in three years when we're begging her to stop.

Sophie is a sweet, sweet girl, who still wants to eat her dinner while sitting in my lap. Unless we are having soup, I usually say yes.

LilyS & G

These lovelies are still great pals after all these years. Today they opened their "bakery" at LilyS' house. Their gimmick is that if you are late to pick up your cake, they smash it on your head. It's quite a policy, likely to generate some buzz, for sure.

Finn's Pizza Party

It was make your own pizza night at Finn's house.

Baby carrier

This morning, Sophie discovered a very new way to carry her baby.

Georgia's latest stalling technique

Before bed: "Why do I not have a brother?"

Sigh. This could take all night.

New dresses

Here they are, setting trends and stealing hearts. The headbands were G's idea.

Pregame Sophie

This little one was so please to get to go to her first baseball game date with daddy! She knew this proves she's a special special girl.
