Five Year Check-in

Now that we've reached Sophie's fifth birthday (where has the time gone?) I thought I would post an update on who our little Sophster is nowadays.

She...

  • can read a lot of words and can spell and write her own name.
  • likes The Beatles. A lot.

  • enjoys helping Mommy cook and bake in the kitchen.

  • knows how to correctly set up a chess board by herself.

  • has a huge and much beloved collection of My Little Ponies.

  • does not like to talk on the phone.

  • loves M&Ms more than life itself.
  • won't eat a hotdog.

  • loves going to school.

  • names a different color everytime you ask her her favorite.

  • is very excited about recently moving into her "big girl" twin bed.

  • has taken to calling herself a rock star while dressing up in sunglasses and rainboots.

  • requests medicine when she's sick (and sometimes even when she's not!) and takes it herself without complaining.

  • plans on buying an orange car when she grows up.

  • is really looking forward to Halloween (for which she is going to be a fairy).


Her favorite shows to watch:

Caillou, WordWorld, Thomas the Train, Clifford, Sid the Science Kid, Little Einsteins, Curious George, Super Why, Sesame Street.

Her favorite foods:

Chicken nuggets, macaroni & cheese, bread, toast with honey, pancakes, waffles, grilled cheese
