Sophia 9

 

   Well Ive waited almost a year to post this but want to be able to look back at it! Due to Covid and the crazy 2020 we had just a little celebration for Sophia here at the house. Made her a rainbow cake she requested, presents, and dinner of her choice. She requested a birthday parade which is very popular these days, but since I didn't orchestrate one for sister I decide to be fair and just do the same for her. She loved virtual learning and almost loved it too much. lol She liked the lounging in her comfy clothing and doing work on her computer more than going to school. Thats just her laid back personality. Still loved all things rainbow and still doing flips and backbends wherever she goes. Gymnastics is her thing, she's good at it and practicing it is fun to her, so win win. 

  Its funny thinking back to the beginning of online learning. I was on a field trip with Sophia's class to the Missouri Conservation,  March 12, there was lots of chit chat amongst the teachers and you can feel an energy going around. I was also texting with co workers at the preschool about talks for shutting down for a bit. I actually took a video of Mrs Knowles after the field trip talking to the kiddos about taking their computers home in case of on line learning. The kids were asking so many questions that this poor teacher had no answers too. Looking back it was a pretty big moment for that was literally the last day of school for the year. We never came back after spring break. So weird. 

  This girl has such a sassy pre tween side to her, but she has the best sense of humor at the same time. She can say some of the most clever things to make you laugh, and her laugh is one I love to hear, mainly because if she is laughing it is 100% genuine. So happy 9th Birthday to my amazingly strong, smart, determined girl. Love you most and always!
