JackyBoy and I

Bonjour,
Here is Jackyboy and I playing on my swing (which is actually his swing....we are just borrowing it, till he get's bigger and then we give it back to him!!!) Isn't he soooooooooo cute! He is pretty funny as well especially because he is still really a baby. He LOVES cars and trucks and planes.....he is such a boy! Sometimes when he comes to play at my house he takes all my "babies" out of their prams and puts cars in the prams instead and takes them for a walk!!!!! It makes me very mad but Mummy says I have to understand he is still only "little", so I let him do it for a little while and then explain to my "babies" why they have been thrown on to the floor and that they need to be more patient with him........
Love Sophie

PS: Jack is 17 months old today!!

Baby Talk

Bonjour,
I have been very busy going with Mummy to the Doctors every week(sometimes more) to check the baby out. It's great fun! I get to play with all the toys in the waiting room and sometimes if I am lucky I get to look at really tiny new babies and if I am really really lucky, those babies are girls and are wearing pink!!! The pink girl babies are my favourite. Then I always get to see "our" baby on the little screen and sometimes it waves at me THEN, the best bit of all...........the doctor puts smily face stamps on my hand and gives me stickers. Yep, doesn't really take much to make me happy.

Spring has Sprung!!

Bonjour,
I am so happy as it is getting close to the time of year when we can go to the beach. I LOVE going to the beach and that means summer is coming!!! Yippee! Today is the 3rd day of Spring and also Fathers day. I made a card and lots of pictures for daddy. Mummy made French toast for Daddy and I and we had breakfast in bed and then after church with Nanny and Grandpa and a visit from Aunty Jane we went to have a look and go for a walk at the beach.
Of course I had to strip off and go swimming and the water was very, very cold, but I didn't care.

Tip toe through the Tulips......

Bonjour,
Last Thursday Mummy and I went with Nanny, Grandpa and Lally to a place called Araluen. It took about 45 minutes to get there and it is a place with very beautiful tulips!!! It was a nice sunny day and we had a picnic on the grass and I raced around trying to catch butterflies and told Mummy 100 times that next time she should remember to bring my butterfly net!!!!! After lunch Lally bought me an icecream and then we went on a little train to look at all the pretty tulips. I heard kookaburras in the trees and they sound so funny! It was good fun and on the way home I had to have a little snooze in the car....(so did Mummy!!!)

Out of the mouth of Sophie!!!!

Classic Sophie conversation had with Aunty Emily whilst playing in her bedroom.......

Sophie: Emily, what is that little bug on my carpet????
Emily: Oh, that is just a cricket
Sophie: Ohhh
Emily: Some say it's good luck
Sophie: (Gets down on the ground really close to it and says)......Cricket, can you say "its gooduck"!!!

Bonjour, Playing dress ups is my very favourite thing to do at the moment!!! When we are at home I am usually dressed in dress up clothes, from being a fairy princess to dressing like a "lady" in old red high heeled shoes of Nanny's and her old dresses. Of course they are way too big for me but that's OK.

Here I am pictured in a pink dress (did I mention pink is my favourite colour!!) and I am making a wish on Mummy's belly for the baby to come out soon!!!!!! (actually, I am secretly still wishing for a baby girl and that Mummy and Daddy will call her "Luna" or "Angel" !!! I just can't wait for the baby to come out. Today it was moving a lot and I put my hands on it and it kicks them off, it's so funny our baby! Mummy said we still have to wait 6 more weeks.......that's forever!

Last night Angus and Molly had a sleep over at our house and Angus and I pretended we were "superhero's" all night. We had sheets tied around our necks to make capes and we saved a lot of people from burning houses and we rescued kittens from trees....we were pretty busy all night! It's hard work being "Super Sophie"!!!!

Bye bye

Rollerskating girl

Bonjour,
Last Friday Mummy took me rollerskating in a real rollerdrome!!! It was the best fun ever and I can't wait to go back. I had my own little pair of rollerskates and it was just little kids like me there and we were falling down all over the place and laughing because it was funny to fall down. I was trying to run in my skates and then I would go sliding. I wasn't very good at it but Mummy said I was doing great as it was my first time. The music was on and they played "The Wiggles" and "Hi-5", so we danced on our skates as well. We also played games and had little races.
Then we had fairy bread and orange cordial for Morning tea and WOW, you should have seen how crazy and fast all the kids got after eating morning tea.....Mummy said it has something to do with the sugar and food colourings in the cordial!!!!!! I can't wait to go again!!!

Today I am excited because Jacky-boy is home from his holiday in Queensland and I missed him so much. He sent me a postcard (Aunty Em had to write it for him) . I will see him today after his nap.

Bye Bye
Love Sophie
