Sophie

Today is about Sophie. She is the middle child and is 8. She is from Dandong in the Liaoning Province of China. She came home when she was 4 in 5/07. Here are some bullets about Sophie.

• She absolutely does not know a stranger. Once you meet her, you are wrapped around her little finger.
• She is a giving child. Maddie can be overbearing and harsh, Sophie can be giving and taking. She kind of lets Maddie walk all over her.
• She is very creative and a very good artist.
• She loves to wear t-shirts, jeans and shorts. It doesn't have to be a particular color, but she loves purple and orange.
• She used to eat just about anything, but is now very picky. She hates pot roast because it's cow, but will eat a hamburger.
• It takes her over an hour to do homework because she gets sidetracked by just the littlest things.
• She was good at basketball, but I think she is even better at softball. She seems to enjoy playing it. I think we found a sport she enjoys.
• Loves to work on mechanical things with her daddy. She loves to be in the garage helping him work on his tractors or organizing his tools.
• She loves to play outside.
• Loves to watch Dinosaur Train and shows like that.
• She sometimes tries to use the fact that she's short as a way to get out of things, but we won't let her. She knows she can do it.
• Loves, loves, loves to talk. Talking is her biggest problem and gets her into the most trouble.
  

She is a great kid and we love her very much. I am so glad that she is in our lives and don't know what we would do without her. She has a little dimple that is contagious.
