One Two Pony Tails

Sophie is finally getting just enough hair to make two tiny little "pony tails."

By the way, who is this little girl, and what did she do with my baby???

She's a Witch!

I thought I could get away with choosing Sophie's costume one more year, thinking I would do something cute and baby-ish like a pumpkin. When I asked her if she wanted to be a pumpkin she said,

"I wanna be a witch."

I waited a week to see if that would stick, and with every inquiry and at other random times I got the same response.

So, she is a witch.

We had some great Halloween events. These photos were taken on the way to the Pumpkin Prowl at the Woodland Park Zoo, and Halloween weekend we attended a Toddler Halloween Carnival, a visit to Nammy & Papa's house en costume, and we Trick-or-Treating in the neighborhood. I am so excited for Sophie's future Halloween adventures, and can't wait to fill her costume order year after year!

We had a kitten for a week...

We had the opportunity to adopt a kitten from a co-worker of Brian's at the Children's Theatre. We brought her home, and named her Tess. While everything seemed fine at first, Sophie became increasingly competitive with the cat...

When I asked her one day if she liked the cat, she said,

"No, I don't like her."

"Don't you want to keep her?" I asked.

"No. I don't want the kitty in my home."

Pretty clear.

It was a fun week, but we returned the kitten. She has been re-adopted with one of her brothers, and her name is now Clementine. Sophie doesn't seem to miss her at all. Ah, two year olds.

Snack time

A little popcorn.
