17 months

a day in the life of sophia at 17 months

-wake up about 7am calling for brother to get you out of your crib.


-while brother and sister watch some t.v., you eat some breakfast and roam around. t.v. is totally not interesting to you.
-ask mommy to read 'wheels on the bus' 4 or 5 times
-play anything brother and sister are playing - including but not limited to:
dance parties: when the music starts, no matter what you are doing, you 'run' to living room to join.
hide-n-seek: you count with mommy and are the best finder. when it's your turn to hide you will even lay in a box with a blaket over you, waiting to be found.
scare monster: mommy's favorite game that you love too. you will come around a corner and growl at whoever is waiting.
chase and wrestling: you are unafraid to join in the crazy chaos that your brother, sister and dad create.
-sneak into daddy's office and 'study' with him.


-copy your big sister down to the clothes she's wearing and movements she makes.


-you decide you're not tired and stop taking morning naps, much to mommy's panic
-read 'wheels on the bus' 4 or 5 times
-have some lunch, throw your food all over the floor


-take an afternoon nap
-help mommy with the dishes - putting them in, taking them out, looking at your reflection in the door.
-sit outside of daddy's shut office door and call for him, because you'll have to learn (like your brother and sister did before you) that even though daddy is home, he's working and can't play. such a hard concept to get.
-ask mommy to read berenstain bears, and sit for the whole book
-read 'wheels on the bus' 4 or 5 times
-eat dinner and be the best eater out of all of your siblings
-help pick up the toys...best out of all of your siblings
-play anything brother and sister are playing - see above description


-read 'wheels on the bus' 4 or 5 times
-brush your teeth happily and merrily
-lay down and go to sleep after some snuggling and singing

Such fun! She is so adorable! Can't wait to read wheels on the bus to her and kiss all your kids! So soon! Caleb talks about it all the time. Hannah was pointing at Sophia's picture tonight like she actually remembers her. Can't wait!

What a day! I am barely ahead of you, kid age wise, but I can hardly remember what 17 months was like, except for what i wrote on the blog. You'll be so glad you wrote this out. You might even say, "Oh yeah, remember she loved that Wheels on the Bus book a ton?"

what a wonderful life she has! and do you SING "the wheels on the bus" when you read the book? just wondering.
