Sophia is six...hmmm, that's strange. Time truly goes whether you are looking or not huh? Sophie is such a sweet girl! I love this age where birthdays are fun and exciting and oh so special. Here are a few tidbits about Sophie's 5th year:
1. She finally stopped wearing pull-ups at night! Thank goodness. She was definitely my oldest child to be in pull-ups. Maybe that was because she was the baby! :)
2. She learned to ride her bike sans training wheels.
3. She can read like no other! She's amazing. She was doing a little test with her teacher the other day and she got through all the words up to 3rd grade! You go girl! I really think letting her actually read the scriptures with the family every night truly helped her along!
4. Tinkerbell is her favorite Fairy of all time!
5. She does chores and she does them well. Some of her favorites are watering the flowers and plants and cleaning the windows.
6.We have a ritual every night where we hug, kiss on the lips, then she kisses each of my cheeks and my nose. Every night.
7. She doesn't care if the boys see her underwear when she does cartwheels, summersaults or some other gymnastic move in her pajamas. I don't think I like that!
8. She loves to write stories and read them to me.
9. She and Luke are great friends.
10. She and Jenny play school together often and they love it! Jenny even has a surprise box where she can get goodies for a job well done!
Well, there's a few things about my beautiful daughter. I love you Sophie! Sophie said tonight, " Starting tomorrow, it will be a whole other year til my birthday. That really stinks" ! And I'm thinking, "Don't grow up too fast! Our childhoods really are gone before we know it because we are so anxious sometimes to be older than we are!"
