Miss Sophia

Sophia is just blossoming right before my eyes. She loves school, loves Sunday school class and is my little social butterfly. Her vocabulary just amazes us and she seems to really like to sing. She is singing constantly. Christmas songs, nursery rhyme songs and she loves to make them up as she goes along too. She is however, becoming more feisty the older she gets. Here are some things she has said/done lately.

1. This past week she decided that drawing on paper was boring. She took the black marker and drew on Daniel's face instead. (stop laughing)
2. I had to take most of her shoes out of her closet because at nap time she will get up and put a pair on and then get back into bed. In fact she hides things way under the covers and I have to pull them out daily. She also has about 7-8 silky blankets in her bed as well. I put them in the closet and she gets them right back out! I think 2-3 should be enough. Sophia thinks she needs them all around her and then some.
3. She proudly picked a HUGE booger out of her nose the other day and looked at me, held her pointer up and said "Ta-da"! ( I know....nasty)! Obviously she thought it was a masterpiece of some sort!
4. She will only wear dresses right now. I have a whole bar full of clothes hanging in her closet that she refuses to wear. ~sigh~
5. She growls at the cat, which freaks the cat out and she thinks it is hilarious. When the cat see's her......he runs for cover!
6. She has no self esteem problems. She is always stating that she is beautiful!
7. She has started telling little fibs. She told Emmie the other night that I threw a sock at her and wouldn't give her a "huggie and kissie" goodnight. (lier, lier, pants on fire)
8. She wants to ask Santa for a new necklace and bracelet for Christmas because hers broke. Well, guess who broke it arguing whether it should be worn at nap time or not! M-hm!
9. She gets more stubborn by the day. I think "I don't want to" is her favorite line.
10. When asked who made the mess .....it's always......"Daniel did it." Yes she can say "Daniel" now and she thinks she is HOT STUFF!
11. We were in the car yesterday and she asked me if I saw the little boy outside. I said "yes". (I really didn't though, I just knew what house we had passed and figured one of their many children were out.) She asked me again in a more testy tone. I said "Yes Sophia, I saw the little boy playing". To which she then replies....."He wasn't playing Mom, he was walking....nice try though". (I can't even pull one off over the little stinker anymore.)
