Sophie’s animal friends
Many of you might have heard about the wooden horse that came home with us from Germany this past May. The horse was a gift my family got me when I was 3 years old and I loved dearly. Once I outgrew it, it got passed along to my younger cousins and some other close family friends. The plan was always to one day have it with us so my children could enjoy it as well. Well, after an excellent packaging job by my Uncle Peter, which required several rolls of bubble wrap and duct-tape (and a check-in at the “oversized baggage” counter) the horse now lives in our living room. Sophie has taken to it well and rides it quite a bit.


Another one of Sophie’s animal friends is Clifford, the big red dog. Given to her by Nana & Opa for her first Easter, she used to get very frustrated trying to pull it behind her. Over time she figured it out and now enjoys caring for him by talking to him, carrying him and cleaning him on a daily basis. Recently she’s even started having her dolls ride on Clifford.

She rides many a mile.
What a little caregiver.
