You Belong in A ZOO

We've had a very busy week in the Rinard home. First of all, the Soph is cutting her two-year molars, so that's a ball of fun.

Other than that, the week has been great. We went to the zoo with Kim K., Angie, their kids, Zach, Abby, and Mya. The babies sat wonderfully in a wagon looking at all the elephants and big 'meow-meows."

Sophie loved the sea lions swimming, though if you ask her what they did she'll tell you "roar." We're working on memory.

Next we went with Kelly, Abby, and Grandma Adams to Powell Gardens to see the dinosaurs. Apparently, the dinosaurs aren't REAL, so that was a disappointment. But the gardens were gorgeous, of course, and the day was beautiful. Sophie had a wonderful time looking at everything and once again fell fast asleep as soon as she was in the car.

A couple of things I've learned this week:

• Don't get Soph a sandbox for her birthday. She has issues with it.
• Wagons need wheels to move.
• Naps in the car mean no naps for Mommy.

Passing the Torch

Sophia has been quite busy lately (more on that later) so she's asked me to take over her blogging business. She's also thoughtful of her little sister. She doesn't want to shine too much. Our little Sophia is what you might call Humble.

Ha.

So...what we've been up to...

Sophie has moved to a big girl bed. It was a reasonable transition, made much easier once we got those door handle locks. She also has been binky free for several weeks, now.

On the looming horizon is potty training. Honestly, I'm a bit scared. She's gone in the potty a few times, but I'm not sure she's ready. Or maybe I'm not.

BIG NEWS!!

You may have heard about this, BUT...

we're expecting a new addition. Cecilia Lorraine Rinard will join us in September. We're very excited to meet her and are busy turning our office into another nursery.

I'll work on getting pictures soon, and maybe I'll be better at posting than that very busy little girl.
