Sophie had a great time this past Halloween. She went to daycare dressed up as Abby Cadabbyon Friday, November 30th, and then on Saturday, November 31st, she got all dressed up again and went trick or treating. We went to each lit door in our neighborhood and she had Mommy or Daddy say "trick-or-treat". Sophie then took any candy handed to her and brightly would say "good-bye" to each of our neighbors.
Two weeks later, Mommy and Sophie went to NY to visit Grams and Gramps and Allison, Alan and Naomi. Sophie had a great time playing with Naomi and also checking out Mommy's old elementary school's playgrounds.
Finally, we all ended the month by going to a Bar Mitzvah. It was Sophie's first and she was very excited about it, especially the part that involved dancing to music and eating cake. She is now already planning her own birthday party in March. So far we know that she wants balloons, 3 chocolate cakes (of which one needs to have Dora on it), all her friends, and lots of presents. There was also a request for it to have princess stuff and some cake icing that was yellow. Suffice to say, with all the excited build-up to her 3rd birthday party (which is 4 months away), I hope we can live up to it!
Oops, almost forgot, Sophie got her hair cut. Well, actually, she got it trimmed. Rather than go to a kids hair place, Mommy took Sophie to her stylist. Sophie did beautifully and especially enjoyed the cookie they gave her right before the hair cut. She decided at the end that she looked like a princess.
