Two years ago today, Gilles and I were blessed with a new little princess in our lives. In her 2 years, we have gotten to know her and love her for her incredibly wacky and zany self. She is tough as nails, already having experienced the emergency room twice. She has her own sense of what she wants even if it is not obvious to the rest of the family. Lord help us all if we don’t know what she wants because the tears flow rather easily. She is a bundle of energy that needs to climb every mountain (or in her case: every bookshelf and table). She is sweet and loving, but can easily sense if a kiss is desired. If so, she plays hard to get. Sofia is not a big talker, which still leaves lots about her a mysterry. Early on, she learned to say Gilles and Elmo. Basically, she has her priorities straight ever since. Her morning routine cannot get properly started until she has sat on her Mami’s lap and eaten a banana. I do have a theory that she thinks she is a monkey, somewhat inspired by curious george.Thank you Cindy and Erol for blessing us with Sofia in our lives. We will never be the same. She definitely adds a spark to everything.
