Sofia and Mimi....

Mom/Grandma decided she wanted Sofia to be able to call her something that was easy to pronounce and decided on "Mimi" which Sofia quickly took up. So, while Mom was here, Sofia would often alternate between "Mommy" and "Mimi" when she wanted someone's attention or needed something. And Mimi was the best - she would read story upon story! Sofia would fetch a book from her room, bring it to Mimi who would read it to her, then Sofia would disappear to retrieve a new book!

We said goodbye to Mimi on Tuesday night and Sofia would not give Mimi a goodbye kiss and kept saying "NO" when Mimi was saying goodbye. Since we dropped her at the airport Sofia has been saying Mimi all the time, especially when we picked up Papa at the airport later that evening, and when she looks up the stairs. It really breaks my heart, and I try to explain that Mimi had to go home to California and that we'll see her soon.
