Bugs and Keys

Sophie is completely fearless. While at the zoo on Friday we encountered a stink bug on her stroller seatbelt when getting off of the carousel. I reached in to get it out but just couldn't for some reason stand the thought of touching it, so Sophie being the studious student that she is at 1 year old, reached into the stroller grabbed the bug, without any fear, and threw it to the ground. I guess you could say she has now killed her first bug, yet she had no idea that she had hurt it. I believe she would have felt bad.
Today we came home from chemo and I got the kids out of the car and Sophie was walking to the door and decides that she needs to unlock the door and so she finds the hidden key outside, which now needs a new home, and tries to unlock the door. I was laughing because what 1 year old knows where a hidden key is and what it is for? I am afraid, yet tickled, that I have a very smart child on my hands. I hope I can keep up with her.

Now another reason to move that key...cuz everyone who reads it now knows about it. Michelle doesn't Sophie do a great job keeping all of us laughing with her never ending attempts to demonstrate all she has learned! PS...on my blog is the first response that Sophie looks like you! I thought you'd be thrilled that Jenny thinks that..."my" baby no longer looks like her Nannie. Hope you have a great day.

I found your blog the other day....I hope you don't mind. I don't get to see your family much besides the wave as we drive by. I am a bad sort of neighbor. It is fun to get news that I don't usually hear. Your kids are so cute. We pray for Joe all the time. We wish you well. And I think Sophie looks just like you.
