new boots*

sophia has new boots. they are the cutest lil sh#tkickers. sophia doesnt like wearing shoes much. even in the winter she tries to get around the hassle. one good way to get her to wear appropriate footwear is to buy her new shoes. heeeey, wait a minute. girls are sooo sneaky. she doesnt dislike shoes, only shoes that are more than a week old! outrageous. anyway, it's hard to keep track of exactly now old four is, but i think sophia commonly makes me forget. she is tough and good at looking out for herself and her needs. she gets shuffled around a bit, being in the middle, and she doesnt mind much i think, we middle children adapt quickly. but she really makes the most of it when she gets one on one attention. when she doesnt, she just eats snacks and draws. she can do both things all day gladly. well, four is not very old. it's very young, and very adorable. sophia is very young and also fearless and intrepid. she's my rough tough hard-to-bluff baby girl
