Sophie

Since this blog will be a journal someday, I wanted to write a little about each of my kids. Sophie seemed like a good place to start - being the youngest, she usually comes last.
Sophie has always had a very strong personality - and she has always thought she was an adult, from the time she was two, she would rather shoe/handbag/bra shop with Mom than play with normal 2yr old toys.











Sophie has always been a princess! Unlike Megan, who loves sports and animals, Sophie just loves all the typical girly-girl stuff. It makes her day if I paint her nails, or let her wear a little lip gloss. And shoes! Sophie has definitely inherited THAT Torgersen gene! She is obsessed...and the more sparkly, the better.







Sophie always stands out in a crowd - and has a quite unique fashion sense (with cousin, Ainsley Torgersen).













Oh, the great haircut tragedy of 2008!















Sophie loves the pool - in fact, she pretends that there is a mermaid living in our pool who is her best friend. I signed her up for 3 weeks of swimming lessons this summer so that she would be water-safe while hanging out with the mermaid...it was a daily struggle to get her to put her face in the pool. After all of that, Sophie learned to swim, alright. But only on her back. She refuses to swim the normal way - just motors all over the entire pool on her back! Yesterday, she jumped in, flipped onto her back, and yelled, "Ta-ta, Mommy! I'm off!"

And she is only 4. I am excited to see what Sophie will be like when she grows up. She is already so much fun...it can only get better! (Except for the years between 13-17. I KNOW those will be scary) Meanwhile, we are loving the entertainment, laughter, and joy that Sophie brings into our lives!
