October Recap

October!

One of the best months in the MidWest- fall, harvest, halloween.

Some of my favorite things about Sophia this last month:

1-Birthday wishes: Sophia is all about birthdays. She loves them. And she knows hers is coming up, and talks about it all the time. "I'm turning 3 in December!" Whenever I ask what she wants for her birthday her reply is always "a happy owl!" A happy owl? I have no idea what that means. But she's been saying it for months. I guess I better start looking for a an owl. 

2- Little artist: she's gotten more and more into painting lately. She'll sit and paint forever. She prefers watercolors. And she just figured out how to draw a happy/frowning face.

3-Big Ham: Sophia has never been shy. And now she is the biggest ham when we go out with people. She loves to dance and sing and when they clap for her she takes a bow. I've got a goofy one on my hands.

Yep. Ham.

4- Potty training- and on that note, we've taken major strides on the potty training front. The key: bribery. Chocolate chips my friends. Works like a charm.

5-Sweet heart: Sophia has her moments, but on the whole is a sweet heart. She loves to help and make other people happy. I hope that is a trait she always keeps up.

We went to a nursing home to visit the residents. Sophia had so much fun dancing and playing for them. And gave them all hugs before we left. It was so sweet.

6-PLEEEAAASSSEEE! Sophia started asking please while doing this...

... I have NO idea where she learned that. But oh geez.

So this autumn light was just too beautiful to pass up.

Got some fun photos playing in the leaves.

Love her.

And love Fall.
