Packing lunches for preschool
Tuesday the girls will start preschool at Duck's Nest. I've been thinking about what to pack them for lunch and have included Sophia in this conversation. Today she asked me to "please include some pretty flowers for me to enjoy while I eat."
I love that she asked for his. I will have to remember to pack some flowers!

Armani's going-away party
Sophia's friend, Armani, is moving to Massachussetts. We will miss him and his sweet parents. A music teacher led songs and Sophia asked if she could sing a special song for him. She stood up and very very quietly sang "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star".
Progress Report: Thalia
We are also preparing for Thalia's first day of preschool next Tuesday. I hope does ok with the transition.
She is talking a lot! She is a big talker with a big vocabulary already. Tonight she would not stop telling me a story about the whole family going on vacation to Peru. She listed off every family member who would travel: Thalia, Sophia, Mommy, Daddy, Nana, Papa, Sheila, Mike, Uncle Marc. She would bring all her books, my camera, snacks and her big hippo. She gets very animated when she tells a story.
She also points out the letter "T" everywhere we go, and she can write the letter "T" as well. She tells me all the time that she loves me.
She also loves to jump and proudly shows us whenever she has a chance.
When my mom was in town a few days ago she told me that Thalia reminds me of her own mom (Thalia's great-grandmother) and she also reminds her of me, when I was little.

Progress Report: Sophia
Today was the last official day for the girls to attend Roxana's daycare. Sophia started there when she was only 20 months old. Roxana is so wonderful. Now we are preparing for their first day of preschool at Ducks Nest next Tuesday.
Sophia is making a lot of progress on several fronts. She is very interested in spelling and reading. I can write simple words and names for her and she can read them. She is also always asking me how things are spelled. She has always loved coloring and painting and now she is very interested in drawing. Her images are looking very realistic, much more realistic in the last few weeks. She can also write her own name. The letters are legible but they don't appear in a straight line yet. She still has a very good attention span.
She also still has her imaginary friend, Audrey, who surfaced while we were in Seattle about one month ago. Every day she shares elaborate stories about things she has learned from Audrey, plans she has for going on vacation with her, etc. On one occasion she invited another imaginary friend, Shonan, to dinner and left so that we could all dine with Shonan sans Sophia. That was interesting. She would tell us that she was allergic to certain foods, as a way to avoid eating what we were eating. Then she instructed me to pretend to be Shonan's mom arriving to pick Shonan up. At that point she told me that Sophia's Daddy tried to feed her foods she was allergic to.
This next month she will resume ballet lessons with Paula and will start Songbird Chorus at the Crowden Music School in Berkeley.

Vivienne on Children's Place Website
Sophia's friend Vivienne is doing some modeling and I happened upon her image on the Children's Place website yesterday. I couldn't resist including the image here. Her Mom, Laura, and I were pregnant together twice. Vivienne is Sophia's age and Coco is a bit older than Thalia. Vivienne is on the right.
