Here We Go Again!

Much to our surprise (after the fatefull, non dancing recital), Sophia decided she wanted to take ballet again this year. Thus far, she is WAY more into it this year and enjoying every second. We passed all of her old leotards on to Kelsey and she is sporting a whole new "line". Perhaps she's more excited about the dancewear then the actual dancing...hmmmm....

1st day of 4 year old preschool....sniff, sniff

Our 4 Year Old

Well technically Sophia has been 4 for nearly 2 months and while I know I'm way behind, I'm actually happy that I'm doing this post late as we've had a couple months to soak it all in. I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't experienced it firsthand but our little big girl seems to have grown leaps and bounds overnight. A virtual switch went off on her birthday and let me say, thus far, age 4 might be my favorite! She truly is my mommy helper (most of the time!) and SUCH a great big sister. She is trying new things every day. She's still sweet as ever, but has lost a little of that 3 year old need to test us. She's so eager to learn new things and loves telling everyone about it. Yes, this includes the check-out person at each and every store we go to, random people in elevators, fellow patrons in public bathrooms...indeed it can be a bit awkward at times, but I just love her zest for life and have a tough time discouraging it. That said, we do need to keep on her about when it is and is not okay to speak to strangers (yikes). Gosh, there are no words to express my love for this little girl!
