This morning we met my dad for breakfast at LePeep. After that we went to the Books 4 Kids store and previewed a Gymboree music class. It was ok. Sophie was a little unsure about it. There was only one little girl there. So we played with drums and different musical instruments to the beat of different types of music. Sophie was teething so we went home so she could lay down. Well she was just very unhappy, so my dad had to come back with some pain medicine for her because I couldnt leave to get to the store because she was so upset. My dad was up visiting my sister, so luckilly he was still close by. After a while she was feeling better so we ran some errands. My sister said that Mom and Pap were meeting hem at Red Robin for dinner, so we joined them for that. Sophie didn't eat much, just a few fries, and a little chocolate shake. Mr. Red Robin came by the table and both Jonah and Sophie (after someconvincing) gave him some high fives) I was a fun dinner. I always like getting together with my family.

Today was a day of cleaning. Sophie sat on my bed while I did the bathroom, and read a book. She found our play shower caps and put them on. I just thought she looked to funny with it on, so I put one on too and we wore those around the house for awhile. Sophie likes to "help" which means dragging stuff out while I am trying to clean up. Half of my bathroom supplies and shampoo is in the middle of my bedroom floor most of the time because when I am getting ready for the day, she is in there too playing make up and looking in the full length mirror. We went to Gymboree open gym tonight which is good for breakin up the day. We didn't get outside today to play so at least she got to do that.

Today was interesting. It was like a High School reunion. For lunch I met up with Amanda Young. We ate at the ghetto Olive Garden on Washington St. because it was her lunch break from work. It was ok. Now that she has my phone number, she likes to text. Then later on my friend Amanda Ward Geaney was in town to celebrate her moms 50th birthday. So me and Soph went down there to hang out during the evening. It was neat to watch our little girls play. Taylor is only a month younger, and she has a son also Joseph. We did alot of catching up. She lives in Little Rock now with her husband Jay, who is in the Air Force. So it is nice that we reconnected!

Today after lunce me and Soph went to one of her favorite places, Target, to get some groceries. Sophie always has a great time forcing people to look at her with her laughter. It is pretty entertaining. She likes to help me pick out stuff. After that we came back home, unloaded the stuff then went out to the front yard so she could run around. She likes to collect little things she finds in the yard then run up to place them on the porch, then go out for more. Wen we came in, she had some of that yogurt in a tube, which is usually ok, but today she just got it all over her so she got a bath. She likes to bring all of her little pots and pans in the tub with her now, so I have to wait while she runs around gathering all of the things she thinks she needs. So I just hang out in the bathroom.
I got her a color change scrubby pouf today, she likes me to sing her the scrub that baby clean song...that I made up. Then we got ready to go to Gymboree. Grandpa was meeting us over there so he could see Jonah and Maren too. Sophie got some entertainment from Uncle Andy and Aunt Melissa. They both were making her laugh so hard! Andy was carrying her on his shoulders, which she thought was funny, and aunt melissa was tickling her like crazy. She loves to run around there and hand the other kids balls. Most of them are weird and just stand there and drool. Speaking of which, Mr. nasty drool baby was there tonight also. For some reason he likes to come over and sit on my lap and give out hugs. He is gross, but it is kind of cute. Poor kid.
Sophie was so worn out when we got home, she pretty much got into her jammies, had a swig of milk and went to sleep. Yay! She is such a busy little thing.

Today was pretty laid back. We messed around working on flash cards and stuff till Amy came over for lunch. We went to Red Robin. Someone sure does love her a french fry!

When we got back the usual things commenced, nap, more playing, reading stories, dinner, read, jammies, bed.

Today we went to Gymboree open gym. There were only 2 other little kids there. Which isn't much fun for Soph because she thrives on an audience. So we didn't stay very long. I do like the new set up there, last week was pretty lame. Now it is slides everywhere!

We went next door to Some Guys Pizza and had a delicious goat cheese and mushroom pizza with a salad that had more cheese on it than salad parts. After that we ran by Target to get the usual stuff. Sophie also got a Kitty musical keyboard and a My Pal Violet Dog. She likes the keyboard, especially the microphone. She puts her mouth around it and laughs. You have to hear it for yourself to appreciate. One of my friends Amanda was hosting an Usborn book party online, so I ordered Soph a Chrismas book, and another touchy feely book She likes books. I also perused Barefoot Books and there are about 5 things she may be getting for Xmas that looked pretty neat.
