Where has the time gone...Christmas is over and now the winter has begun. Back to work, back to the sitter and back to the daily grind. For some it's rougher than others and some days are crazier than others, daily though I am thankful for all God has blessed us with two wonderful families, friends, each other and our daughter.
As we spent the last month celebrating the holidays with our friends and families I realized how much Sophie has grown and learned in just two short months since her second birthday.
Last month we went through a phase of of thinking there are monsters under our bed or in our closet....along with thinking their are shadows on the wall which she says are scary. That lasted about a week and once we figured out what was bothering her we removed those things causing the shadows and she's slept fine since.
Along with all the Christmas songs she's learned...She sings most parts of Happy Birthday, Ring around the Rosie, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Johnny Appleseed, This little light of mine, ABC's, Itsy Bitsy Spider.
