Butterflies and New Rochelle, oh my!

Sophie was very busy last week (4/18 - 4/25). First, she got to go to one of her favorite places, the Butterfly Place and watch lots of "futterflies" fly around. It was very hot and humid in the Butterfly Place, so she decided enough was enough after 10 minutes, even though she really, really liked the futterflies. Afterwards, she got to watch some local elementary school kids place soccer. She really liked that and looks forward to her future as a soccer player.

The following day, Mommy and Sophie drove down to New Rochelle all by themselves! They spent lots of time with Grams, Aunt Allison and Cousin Naomi. They had lots of fun having playdates, going to a chinese/japanese restaurant, attending a gym class and going to a music class. What Sophie liked best, though, was hugging her Naomi. She also really liked that Mommy gave up on trying to get her to sleep in the crib and let Sophie sleep with her instead. Mommy still has bruises from all the kicking, especially on her arms for some weird reason.



The following Saturday, Sophie and Daddy went to a really awesome Sheep Shearing festival in Waltham, MA. They got to see doggies practice herding sheep, lots of sheep "baaing", Sophie got to pet a llama, and all sorts of cool stuff. When Mommy came home from teaching college that day, she was surprised to find a very sleepy Sophie who did not want to wake-up until 6pm from her nap (started at 2-ish)!!!
