Our dear Sophia is a terror in the
making. I think she has realized that she is cute and charming and
thinks she can get away with murder – because she has. She does
things and then runs away or just laughs and I know I get distracted
by her cuteness... but alas she is getting at an age where she needs
to become responsible for her actions. She would NOT eat on Sunday
for dinner. I mean, seriously do anything else and then throw her
food and water on the floor. And then laugh. Sort of an impish
grin. Matt gave her her first time out on Sunday which ended with a
night without dinner (or very little). Matt did manage to give our
little imp a bath which was impressive as I (being of stricter Korean
roots) probably would have just made her sleep in her day clothes.
But this is a reaction to why I am the less strict parent and her
first time out/no dinner was orchestrated by my more steadfast
husband.
We
have tried to put both the girls in the same room and I requested that
we put Charlotte in the guest room after a couple of weeks of 6AM
mornings... I think that they are sleeping longer separately so we will
stay with this for now.
Sophia
knows a ton of words... we had no idea. We show her picture books and
flash cards and she knows a lot of the words... like car, airplane,
duck, brush.... she also has started asking "why?" but has luckily not
begun the circle of whys.
Over
the weekend we went to this Dreamworks meet and greet. We talked up
meeting Shrek to Charlotte who was excited. We walked to the meet and
greet (at Sands Cotai Central) and, just like clockwork, she was scared
and crying. I was able to take Sophia to see Kung Fu Panda. She kind
of wailed once we got close but did not cry when the shutter was
released. I think our trip to Disney in Hong Kong is a long time from
now.
I
am kind of bummed. Sophia chipped her tooth while trying to climb the
bathtub this evening. She is off to the dentist tomorrow - and I am
mourning her perfect teeth (she chipped her front top right tooth).
There was a lot of blood as she cut her inner lip too... sigh... my only
consolation is that it is a baby tooth. I just hope that there is not
nerve or more permanent damage...

And finally - I have switched phones and have had a tough time getting these videos uploaded so here they are!

Sophia is a messy spaghetti eater!
