Sophie says funny stuff all day long, and as soon as she says it and I say to myself, “I’ll write that down,” I forget it. Tonight I remembered.
me- “Daddy’s being silly.”
sophie- “He’s like JoePop. That’s all he knows how to be. He just knows how to be silly.”
When we were with my folks last week. dinner was being discussed and Sophie chimed in, “I think you feel like take-out.”
And our personal favorite, while watching Wall-E: “Mommy, it’s so beautiful in space.”
I remember when she was born, I looked at her thought, what a perfect stranger. She’s me, and she’s John, but I will never know exactly what she’s thinking. I can’t climb inside her mind and listen to her thoughts. I know her so well. How kind and compassionate she is. How easily frustrated. How sensitive and how smart. But I’ll never completely know her.
That’s what keeps things so interesting.
She is an absolute treasure. All of you were even more wonderful in person.
That picture is just perfect!
so beautiful — I know what you mean
