Your Second Birthday

March 31, 2010 – 10:19 pm

Dear Sophie, Because you love to cook, this year I let you help me make your double-layer chocolate cake with homemade chocolate icing. You loved licking the icing spoon—a couple times.

Sophie’s Red Shoes

March 18, 2010 – 9:05 am

Sophie spent several days insisting on wearing her cherry red patent-leather shoes—without socks—from Gramma and Paw Paw. This, of course, resulted in several days of mismatched outfits (but one exclamation of “Oh, I LOVE your shoes!” from another little girl at the grocery store). As you can see in the last picture, Sophie also is […]

Missing Shoes

March 17, 2010 – 9:03 am

We couldn’t find a pair of Sophie’s shoes for a good week. Turns out Sophie had hidden them. In the kitchen. In a pot. “Just think how happy you would be if you lost everything you have right now, and then got it back again.” —Frances Rodman
