Sophia is getting more conscientious about handling the baby gently. occassionally. as you can see, she won't wear 2 shoes outside, or anywhere, and prefers none. she has been illicitly picking people's flowers much less lately.
see, she has this natural insolence that makes her seem much tougher than she really is. Don't misunderstand, she is plenty tough, with a host inborn emotional immunities. it's just that it's hard to remember that, like most of us, she gives better than she gets. she has weird ideas abt popular culture and its significance, even at this age. she likes to repeat phrases and idioms she hears on the tv. this means she is paying attention, not letting anything slip past unnoticed, and i love her for it; it also means she too often sounds like the tv. she is a middle child and i understand a lot of what that must mean for her. it should mean for me that i identify more closely with her. but when people lucidly reflect things abt us back to ourselves, it is not always very comfortable.
here she is tending to a nest she created. the one-shoed sophius migratorius.
