How do I begin to describe our first week as a family of seven? Surreal. The transition has been gentle and the big kids have been great. There hasn’t been any jealousy…if anything, they fight over whose turn it is to hold the baby! Sophia has claimed TJ as her own “bay-bay” and is so helpful. I can’t get over how much she loves him.
Sophie turned two this week and we had the most simple, special day celebrating her. She woke up bright and early and went with her Daddy to get a doughnut and Frozen balloon at the grocery store. While she was gone, the boys and I set up her new kitchen, which was a BIG hit! She played contentedly off and on all day! We made cupcakes together in the afternoon and had homemade pizza (one of her favorite foods) for dinner. It was the perfect day. We sure love that girl of ours.
We took the week off from homeschooling, but still managed to fit in a little read aloud time. We just started Thomas and the Dragon Queen and it’s already sparked lots of conversation about knights and courage.
Plans for the weekend: TJ’s first trip to the soccer fields!
Have a good one, friends!
Those cupcakes look delish, and I'm glad that the new baby transition is going well!
