"I'm two!"

Wow, what a wonderful two years it has been. Every day Sophia does something to amaze me. And every day I think how lucky I am to have such a beautiful, funny, smart, silly, loving daughter.

My silly girl

When you ask Sophia how old she is, she can proudly tell you "I'm two!". She has a great vocabulary and is starting to make 4-5 word sentences. She can count to 12 in english and 10 in italian. She understands everything Daddy says to her in italian, and can often answer him back in italian. Sophia knows most of her colors, but sometimes mixes up orange and yellow, as well as red and blue. She loves that her baby brother is in Mommy's tummy, and likes to talk to him and give him kisses before bed every night. When we tell her to tell him goodnight, she gets a big smile on her face because she is going to be silly. What started out as telling him to "eat" (yes, she is Daddy's child) has turned into telling him to "Eat pie today" every night.

Eating cake

Sophia has become a very picky eater lately. One meal she will do amazing and the next meal she will only eat one thing from her plate. But she definitely has some bizarre tastes! What child other than mine doesn't like fresh mozzerella but will eat a whole can of sardines?!? Sophia loves school and her friends, and loves giving people hugs and kisses. She is obsessed with bubbles and can blow them by herself, but has a tantrum when we can't go outside to blow them. She loves singing songs, especially Shabbat music, and every time we get in the car says "Sophia's music please!" over and over until we turn it on. At least she's polite! Every time we go on the highway, Sophia looks for trucks and tells me what color they are. Her favorite is white...probably because there are so many of them.

Blowing bubbles by herself

She has become very independent, always telling us "Sophia do it". She likes to help pull up her pants and thinks she can put her own diaper on. She also insists on buckling her car seat, bike buckle, and booster seat at the table every time. Sophia has gone potty a handful of times, but is now scared to actually go. She knows when she needs to go and will tell me "no pee pee floor" and then "it's ok" when she starts to go in her diaper. She can finally jump, at least on the trampoline. It is now her favorite thing to do. We are still working on jumping on the floor though.

"Unlocked it!"

Sophia can now sit through a tv show, and her favorite is Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. She likes to help sing the opening song, and will try to answer their questions they ask. I love watching her do the hot dog dance at the end every time.
