Heffalumps & Dinosaurs

Sophie recently rediscovered the Heffalump costume she's worn for the past two Halloweens that has been in her toy hamper in the closet. She calls the hat "elephant" and the body "bear" and will bring me the "bear" part and say "Bear on?" And when she wants out of it, she says "Bear Off," of course. :)




With some Christmas money Sophie received, she and I made a trip to Toys R Us. After much deliberation and careful shopping, we chose a large tub of dinosaurs. And they have been a HIT. She loves them!

Did You Know...?

Sophie can spell her entire name! Sophia Noelle Levi - every letter, every word. She really loves her "My Very Own Name" book and spends lots of time paging through it with me and on her own. I often find it in bed with her in the morning.

She knows the alphabet really well and has managed to memorize her whole name. As she enjoys doing with other words, she brings us her MagnaDoodle board and recites her name letter by letter, wanting us to write the letters as she says them. It's so cute!
