Happy Birthday Sophie


Today is Sophie's 7th birthday. I can't believe she is 7. She has come so far in the 2yrs 4months since she has been home. Here are some bullet points.
  • She is very strong willed. She definitely has an opinion, yet she lets her sister walk all over her. I know that has to do with Dandong. I know she just took things in stride.
  • Everyone loves her. She has more grown up friends than kid friends I think.
  • She loves hugs.
  • She loves her daddy and tractors.
  • She and Maddie are beginning to have a love/hate relationship I think. I think this may be because she is starting to stand up for her self a little more, but she still does let her sister walk all over her.
  • If it weren't for her being small you would never know that she was SN. Her SN really is a non issue. It frustrates her when she can't tumble and when she can't ride certain rides, but she's dealing with it.
  • She is very smart. I think they did school in Dandong and she learned a lot there, but she has really blossomed here. I know she will be reading here shortly.
  • She loves to be outside.
  • She hasn't really attached herself to one thing in particular except for maybe tractors. She loves working on tractors with her daddy.
She has been such a joy in our lives. She brings laughter, caring, inpatience, chattiness and love into our lives. I am so glad that God brought her to us.
