Full and fun day

This morning Sophie introduced me to her multi-tasking turtle.  It can serve as a stuffed pet or a lap desk or a pajama bag.  It was her buddy at all times today and went to bed with her.

This morning there was a recital at her dance camp.  They were so cute.  I wanted to laugh out loud at the little girl on the left.  She followed a different drummer, hahahaha!  Just adorable.

Jeremy took a vacation day today and came to the recital, then here for the afternoon.  Of course, we had a lot of fun in the pool.  Even Nilla Bean was introduced to the pool!  

We were chased indoors by a sudden rain shower.  Jeremy sacked out on the sofa.  

I followed through on a promise to Sophie.  The past two days she was busy playing hair shop with her dolls.  Yesterday I told her that today, when I would have nowhere to go in the evening, I would let her do my hair.

What do you think??

Later she contented herself with some art projects.

She has been extremely aware all day that George and Lisa will return tomorrow night.  She talked about it many times.  This evening for the first time she had trouble going to sleep.  She said she was hungry, but I think she excited.  But because it's a special time, I indulged her and let her come out to the kitchen for a peanut butter and honey sandwich.  I got  out my camera and asked her,  "Who's coming back tomorrow night?" This was her expression as she said enthusiastically,  "MOMMY AND DADDY!"

After brushing her teeth again and getting back into bed, she was asleep within minutes.  Tomorrow is day "zero".  I am so glad Jeremy and his roommate will be spending the day with us so the day will go faster for her.

Oh, Jean! That hair! She needs a little more schooling, I think!
I can tell you are having such a good time! Sophie is cute as ever, but my how she has grown!

Too funny! What a sweet grandmother to let her do your hair. Priceless. My Mom used to lay on the couch on Sunday afternoons and let me and my sisters "do" her. We did her hair, her makeup, her nails and toes. She was one smart cookie 'cause she got to rest and knew exactly where we were. She still loves to have someone mess with her hair.

Love the photos.

Hugs,
Kat

I loved your comment about the little girl in the dance class. How cute!

I had to laugh at Jeremy sleeping on the sofa because I am a three pillow sleeper too! Hahahahaha!

Well, It looks to me that Sophie wasn't finished. After she dried your hair, I am sure she worked her magic fingers through it and it was BEAUTIFUL!

Her artwork is cute too!
