Seven Seven Seven
A fun filled day that included swimming, presents, and of course, pepperoni pizza and a "chocolate cake with a yellow ducky". I thought the ducky was an interesting call, seeing as she hasn't expressed unusual interest in such things, but alas for the last month or so, she was firm in her desire for a yellow ducky cake. Allrighty then...
Why on earth we are lying out in the empty kiddie pool instead of the perfectly good lounge chairs is beyond me.
It was a fun day for everyone, and we even had our fun Aunty Stacey here to help us celebrate! As anyone who knows Stacey can attest, she brings the party up a notch!
This is the only pic I have of Stacey the entire day. Since 95% of my pics of Soph's birthday didn't work, do you mind sending me copies of yours, Stacey?
We also played a fun/frustrating co-operative game. I'm not sure if any of you have ever experienced those, but the point of the game is to work together for the common good of the garden. a concept that was a little over the head of the four year old who just wanted a turn and a two year old who just wanted to eat the cards for crying out loud. The seven year old thought it was great but that the other players were dragging her down. In the end, the adults were the only real invested players. So we painfully made it to the end...(it does get more fun with each time you play it, so that is good news.)
Sophia is such a treasure to us! She brings so much to our family, and I am loving watching her grow! She started a new school a couple of weeks after it started (which is never easy) and has just adapted to the challenge beautifully. She is ready to be challenged and learn in so many ways, and loves to let her opinion be heard. She is so funny, and helpful! and Sass! (that can be challenging, but it is great to see her challenge your point of view occasionally.)
We Love You Sweet Sophie!
