Sofie at 3 yrs 5 mos

Sofie has been thrilled to be back in Hong Kong, mostly to be reunited with her toys and beloved stuffed things. Oh and yes, her friends. We let her enjoy the last few weeks of summer with no schedule or studies to speak of, and just pure play and, arguably, too much Playhouse Disney. Nonetheless, she transitioned very easily back into school every day, despite new teachers and new friends. She is a serious drama queen these days, and is still very very into Princesses.

We have put a moratorium on buying toys, since we're bursting out of this place as it is, and Santa Claus is one of our favorite friends in this house right now. If she wants something, it either goes straight on the list we have posted on the wall to be mailed to Santa, or we give him (Daddy, at work) a call to give him a heads up when we find something desirable. So far her list

consists of a Hello Kitty Fishing Set, a Mulan costume, a Jasmine costume, and a Hello Kitty Sparkle Princess Jewelry set. Do we see a somewhat scary theme here? What happens if Santa brings her a train set?


Sofie's Progress Report - 3 yrs 5 mos:
  • Eating: D => It's pretty bad. Every meal is a battle.
  • Sleeping A => Would have been an A+ if she didn't fight her naps so fiercely
  • Pooping A => Aside from pooping in her underwear on the first day of school, all good
  • Talking A+ => Too funny for words (ha.) Will have to create another post just for that.
  • Smiling A => Fantastic... if only we could get her to look at the camera...
  • Sharing A- => Has her moments where she just cannot share, but overall quite generous
  • Princessing A++ => Who could be better?
