First day of school

Monday was Sophia's first day of school. This year she is in the 2 year old Panda class. She missed school and all of her friends, and was very excited to go back. She had a fun week playing with friends, doing art, going to music class, playball, and shabbat, and playing on the playground.

My big girl is ready for her first day of school!


First day of school last year. What a difference
one year makes!

Swimming with Nana and kisses for Colin

The past few weeks have been full of fun activities for Sophia. We are trying to fit in as much as possible before the baby comes. A couple of weeks ago, Nana came to our neighborhood pool to swim with us. Sophia loves her new float, and loves to jump off the wall with it on.

Every Friday in school Sophia does Shabbat and says prayers over their bread before eating it. Last night she was showing us how well she knows the prayer over the bread.

Making brownies

Yesterday Sophia wanted to help me make brownies! We pulled over a chair and she helped pour in all of the ingredients and mix them all up. But her favorite part was licking the brownie batter! We used pasteurized eggs, so it was safe for her to eat.

Mmmm...so good!

The fire station

Last weekend we were invited to join Sophia's friend Colin and his parents at the fire station to celebrate his birthday. When we got there, they first gave us a tour of the whole station. Sophia wasn't very interested in that part, but was very excited when we got to check out the fire trucks! She loved pretending to drive the truck and squirting water out of a tank. Daddy even got to put on all of the fireman's gear!
