When I asked Sofia what she wanted to dress up as for Halloween she alternated between many responses, but she settled on Snow White. I had bought Sofia a Snow White costume a few months ago at a rummage sale, but it was too small for Sofia. Thanks to Craigslist we found a very cheap costume for Sofia too (nevermind the seller was a creepy old man).

“Jon and Kate” made up! Our friends Rob and Emma’s take on that wacky tabloid duo.

Sofia wanted to be Tinkerbell one day, so she wore a cute skirt my mom made her, which had hints of green, and she was satisfied.

Pre-school Update
I read “Little Red Riding Hood” in Spanish during one of Sofia’s classes last week and she claimed to have “loved it.” I also had my first Parent-Teacher Conference last week with Sofia’s teachers. They both said she was very sweet and “a joy” to have in the classroom. They said she’s settled in well, but can be reserved. They’re hoping she makes friends and interacts more with the other kids. Sofia does very well in small groups or one-on-one, but lots of kids can overwhelm her. Although she seemed to have a great time during the party!
Sofia is also attending a class once a week at a Nature Center, and her teacher there thought she was a “pro” at pre-school. She said Sofia dances a lot! Both sets of teachers remarked on Sofia’s dexterity (like beading necklaces) and love of art.
In other “firsts”, we attended our first fundraiser for her school and Joe volunteered on grilling duty. We foresee many more such events and activities.
Oh, and finally, we went to a fun cider pressing/hay ride get-together a couple of weekends ago. Sofia rode the hayride with Edie.
