Cyber Monday? Black Friday? Who really gives a shit. Not me. Cyber Monday Meh!

I must be out of touch. Anyways, Sophie is so funny. I was working on the dishes, and Soph had finally ran off to entertain herself, so I could actually load the dishwasher in like 3 minutes as opposed to 20 minutes with repeated removal of Soph from the top of the door she stands on when it is open to help. So behind me somewhere I kept hearing Mmmmmm Yummy, Mmmmmmm Yummy, I thought she was just repeating what I was saying while making cookies earlier. So I saw her out of the corner of my eye while I was putting in the soap and well, there she was, standing in the middle of the kitchen, in the middle of yogurt drippings, everywhere, on her and the floor, spooning it in saying, mmmmm yummy with each messy bite.

It took me a minute, but every morning and for snack we share a cup of yogurt. Well for snack, she didn't finish it and I forgot to get it from the coffee table, I immediately realized this as I was pleading for her to stand perfectly still while I made a move for the paper towels. It was pretty funny after the fact, just seeing her stand there all messy grinning saying yummieeeee.

We also went to Gymboree open gym today. She had a pretty good time. There are alot of weirdo parents out there though. They act like it is a big deal if their kids act like kids. Foe example, sophie had a ball and some little jerk came an took it from her...well she didn't care, she was on to the next thing. This mom of his was like, oh whatever his name was...you have to SHARE. I was just thinking, right, he can't even comprehend that he has a mile long string of snot hanging from his nose, let alone remorse for taking the ball Sophie had just taken from some other kid a minute earlier. I guess some people think it reflects poorly on their parenting skills if their toddler acts like a toddler instead of a dead eyed little robot. We ran into one of those control moms at the Childrens museum, I am sure that girl had to wait to hear her mom say ok now little so and so Breathe in, now out. Now blink. Some people just wear me out.

Yes I am venting now. Most of these thoughts are usually just in my head, but it is good to purge.

Sophie really likes books. We read about eleven or so of them tonight. There is this one that is kind of generic, but at the end it plays twinkle twinkle little star. It stopped working, but she knows what it is supposed to do. She kept grabbing my hand and putting it on the sparkle star. I think it just played itself out. She also has figured out zippers. I keep her color pencils in a makeup pouch. She opens it up by herself, but what is funny, is when she is done, she gathers up all the pencils, puts them back and zips it back up, which is a little harder for her, but she does it. It is just cute watching her figure things out, because she will always look up and smile at me like See what I did!
