Sophia had a good week. I didn't have a good week since I was down with a migraine all week, but at least Sophia's routines continued as normal. Last Monday, before the migraine got too bad, she and I went to the Zoo with our friends Therese (who gave me the lemon I posted a few weeks ago) and her daughter Ellie. Unfortunatley, I didn't get a good picture of Sophia with Ellie, so we'll have to wait on that one. Sophia had a fantastic time at the zoo, but she was primarilly interested in the other kids all of whom she calls "baby." It was especially exciting to her to have a baby traveling around with us all day and she was quite intriguted by Ellie. 
We were at the zoo by 10 Monday morning, and I've never seen it so empty. When we went to ride the train, we walked directly up and didn't have to wait for it. I don't think I've ever done that in my entire life. Apparently that's the best time to go to the zoo. Sophia loved the train, eagerly looking around and making frequent train noises. The day was a lot of fun.Today we had a couple of important shopping ventures. First we got Sophia's feet sized, 
she's now a size 7, and bought her new shoes. I confess, I subcumed to trendiness, and bought her a pair of Crocs. They seemed to me to be ideal kid shoes, since they're tough, waterproof and clean off easily. She wanted to wear them out of the store, and all day long she'd look down at them and say "shoes" or "new shoes." She also frequently held out a foot so we could admire the new shoes.

care she's insisting on sitting on it after the other kids do, so she's showing quite a bit of interest. She also wants to get up close and personal when we use the potty, something that is a lot more funny to tell about than to have happen to you. After we brought it home she wanted to carry her new potty all around the house, and that's not a habit we want her getting into! So after posing for some pictures (that face she's making isn't a grumpy face, it's a pose for pictures face) we insisted that it return to the bathroom. She sat on it for a while before bath, but no use yet. We can't wait for the end of diapers, so we're encouraging her all we can.
