Sofia and I flew out to Mimi and Grandpa Joe's house to spend a week with them and to celebrate Mimi's birthday on the 3rd. Sofia's Papa joined us on Friday evening and spent the weekend with us before we returned home. It was significantly colder and wetter than in past trips, so we stayed inside a lot, but we still had fun. Sofia enjoyed sitting by the fire on the little arm chair that was mine when I was little (recently reupholstered) and reading her books - mainly the Little Red Train, her recent favorite. She also played with Play Doh, which we picked up at Target along with a Play Doh press, like Grayden has. She made all sorts of silly pressed Play Doh. She also helped Mimi feed the koi and played with Maggie (when she wasn't telling Maggie to "go away"). One of her favorite things to do was to ride the "elevator" which is the chair lift my Mom has on her staircase. Sofia would get it all ready, sit in the seat and push the button to make it go to the top, get out, close it all up, and go about her business. She would do the same coming down too, which was adorable because she'd have to find the right spot where it rests (otherwise it beeps) and then she would say "that's the perfect spot."
I realized we are raising a true North Texan when we were driving one day and Sofia asked Mimi and I what "those" were. It took us a few minutes to figure out that she was pointing at the hills! Needless to say, it's very flat where we live! I really wanted to get to the beach again, but the weather wasn't warm enough.....so that means we just have to visit again!!
