Sophie update

Here's our sweet Sophie....

1752009

*SIGH*

This is what her nanny wrote...

Sophie is a lively child. She enjoys running, jogging, and climbing. She likes to wear her hair in braids and wear beautiful dresses as well. Sophie is not picky at all. She eats everything, including rice, vegetables, and fruits. She is strong and energetic. Sophie enjoys asking questions and she can tell me a whole story that happened the day before. Sophie likes to help other children. She helps them to squeeze toothpaste, brush their teeth, wash their hands and face, and get dressed. If she sees other children fighting, she will try to stop them by saying, “No fighting! Good children never fight! Mom does not like you fighting.”

I could use an extra voice around here when the boys start goin' at it;-).

Soon dear child, you'll be home soon!!!

I'm not sure there could be a more beautiful photo.... breathtakingly beautiful.

She sounds like a phenomenal little girl, and perhaps she can come to my house and set my boys straight, ha ha!

She's a beautiful little girl all the way around :) I'm sure that travel call can't come soon enough! And thank you for Chase's hat and ball! An official thank you is on the way! :) Hope the boys are enjoying the beginning of summer.

first, tami, she is so beautiful. GORGEOUS! breathtaking. wow!

secondly, the whole "good children never fight. mom does not like you fighting." is so sad. i can't wait until she is home with your family. then you can remind her that whether she is good or bad, fighting or friendly, she will always, always be loved.

What a precious update and photo. I can only imagine the peace it must bring you to be able to see and hear her and know that she is doing well and is much loved. She is a special little girl loved by so many. I am so looking foward to following along as you meet your sweet Sophia.
