Our dear sweet Sofia

Sofia has such a determined little personality. Samuel plays by the rules. When you tell him he can't do something, he'll either not do it, or fight and try his hardest to get us to change our mind. However, Sofia...when we tell her not to do something, she puts on this mischievous little smile, tilts her head, and slowly and deliberately goes about doing exactly what we just told her not to. So, the other day we were coloring with markers (first mistake) and Sofia wanted to sit on the "big-kids-chair" instead of her high chair (second mistake), so she climbed up, and I gave her a handful of markers (she refused to use the color pencils or crayons...they don't have fun lids you can take on and off). So, Samuel, Sofia and I sat there coloring, when Samuel needed help with something, so I went to help him and not two seconds later, I look over at Sofia and half of the tip of the purple marker is missing and her entire mouth is covered with purple drool.  She literally bit off the the tip of the marker. Her teeth and tongue looked almost stained. This is the picture we took, after we got mad and brought her to the bathroom to scrub her teeth as well as we could. Luckily, she woke up this morning, and it was nearly all disappeared! I can tell this is just the beginning of Sofia's little experiments.

 

These pictures are a bit fuzzy and don't do it justice at all, but at least it gives you a feel of how purple it was
