Sophia is Five Years old!

Sophia celebrated her birthday with a wonderful ice-cream cake and lots of friends! She received many gifts, but the one she liked the most was stuff to make a Fairy Garden!
Sophia is doing great in gymnastics and also has passed her PS-III swimming course.  She is so good that she will be skipping Level-1.

Borlaug Elementary School

Today, we visited Sophia's new school, Borlaug Elementary. She is excited to start kindergarten in August. She is a very smart girl.  She is taking swimming lesson and she is in Level PS-II. She is going to swim like a fish!

Lego Truck

Karen got a Lego truck for Sophia.  I only showed her the instructions, and she was finding the pieces and putting them together.  She finished it and we took a nice picture. This girl is amazing.  I should get a small Lego toy for Assen and help him put it together the same way I did with Sophia.

A new year!

Sophia is now four years young.  She is doing gymnastics at Synergy Gymnastics in North Liberty. She loves doing exercise. She is very independent and wants to learn as much as she can. She loves playing with dad's iPod. She likes to sing along and do Spanish in the iPod.

Happy Birthday mom!

Sophia celebrated her mom's birthday! Sophia weighs now 28 pounds. She is getting some weight, but we don't know where she is putting it. Sophia's best frien at daycare is Jacob. He is a sweet little boy.

Happy Birthday!!!

Sophia is now three years old. We went swimming today. She enjoyed the water a lot. Then, we came home and continued swimming. Sophia is now trying to swim! no swim vest! She got a baking oven for her birthday and baked a cake for us. She is not a bad cook!

dancing class

Sophia went to her first dancing class today. Small children danced to children's music played by this nice lady. They all sang several songs and enjoyed it very much. Sophia sang a few songs in the car on our way back home. It seems like she got some inspiration to sing!
