Sophia

I'm as proud as a momma bear when my kids do something special.  Sophie had her chance to shine this past Friday at church when her Sunday School class sang "Away In a Manger" and "Jingle Bells."  We were well prepared for the event.  Sophie practiced these songs for several weeks at church and at home.  I bought her new black shoes to wear with a pretty new dress.  The camera was ready.  Sophie even had her own picture session in front of the christmas tree before we left for church.  And most importantly, we left the house with plenty of time to arrive early at church.  I wanted to have the choice of seats near the front, so Sophie could see her proud momma and daddy.

Sophie's class, which consists of 1-4 year olds, walked in with such scared looks on their faces.  Sophie was nervously looking at all the people until she saw Daddy, Mommy, Boston, and Olivia looking excitedly at her.  The kids filed on stage and prepared to sing.  Now I had a pretty good idea of what Sophie would do when it was time to sing because of how she acted at home when we practiced the songs.  What do you know...my baby didn't let me down.  She didn't sing one single word!  She stood on that stage with her body turned away from the audience.  She was facing Andy directly which was good for the video.  Sophie is in the white and black dress.
