Sophia's birthday present from Mommy and Daddy (other than finally getting to turn around in her carseat which we're looking forward to) is a red wagon. We bought it this weekend and Sunday she and Paul put it together. Sophia's part was mostly about trying to push it before there were wheels and then stealing all the parts. She enjoyed it. She had a lot more fun when it was all done and we took her for

her first ride.
Sunday was also her first introduction to the glories of mashed potatos, one of the world's great foods. We feed her the classic dish of mashed potatoes and

chicken and she loved every bit of it. We also discovered last night that while she hates most vegetables, she loves broccoli, even igorning her other food to eat the brocoli. It's just another example of her being a strange kid.
We're all looking forward to the big birthday bash just a few days away. We can't believe she'll be one on Thursday!
