Sophia Update
Pistol. Fireball. ADHD. Excitable. Choose a word and that is Sophia! She has so much energy and has become more hyper with time. I began in home Preschool for her with one other little girl from our church. The first day she could barely sit still, or listen, pay attention, or quite wanting to grab at things. I understand this is new to her, she will have to get used to this new schedule in her week, and that there will be an adjustment period. She was a little better the second day and so it gives me hope that each day will be better still. I am excited about being able to teach her more formally and have a little friend in the house to share this time with. She is already catching on with memorizing and recognizing numbers and letters.
She also asks me all sorts of questions about being able to do things or places to go. Some of my replies simply have to be "When you are older." or "When you are bigger." So she has started to say to me, "When I be 20 years old I can ride a motorcycle." "When I be 20 years old I will go to school." On and on and on with "When I be 20 years old"! Apparently she can do anything as long as she is 20 when it is happening.

More fun quotes from my lovely 3 year old....
I am loading up with gas.
You look gorgeous! (while looking at me trying on a new skirt)
Does my dada have a bum-bum?
My bones are moving.
I don't want anymore, because it's too yummy.
I was just freaking out.
The older she gets the more beautiful her face gets. Her eyes even seem bigger and more beautiful even though I know they haven't changed really. Her face is beginning to look a little more grown up to me. Because she is tall for her age and well spoken/articulate she often gets mistaken for a 4 year old most places we go. I tend to agree.

She recently had her first dental visit. I took her a few weeks prior to my 6 month cleaning so she could see what it was all about. She was well behaved, curious, and asked a lot of questions. I was so proud of her then, and became even more proud of her after her visit. Once again she was so well behaved, wasn't afraid, and cooperative. They took a 360 digital x-ray of her teeth which was quite an interesting experience as well. You have to be positioned very specifically with your front teeth biting down on this plastic stick (also in a specific location). With a little maneuvering we finally got her into position and she was so still. Seriously, I just could not believe how good she did for all of this and my heart was swelling with pride for her! Also, an x-ray of a child's mouth is SO COOL. Her adult teeth are already forming so you could see them resting above her baby teeth. You could see the shape and size of them. And her last molars were just sitting tucked up in her gums in what looked like a perfect white bubble. I almost couldn't stop staring at the image it was so amazing. I suggest this for every parent. It is neat to see your child's mouth in that way.

She is an affectionate child and can often be found telling us she loves us. It is so random and very sweet. She enjoys hugs very much and tries to out-hug her daddy when giving a big bear hug.

I'm impressed she did so well at the dentist, especially with the x-ray. It was so great to see her and get to know her a bit more. You are lucky to have such a good daughter.
