No Posts for January?

Seriously, did I really not post anything for an entire month? Wow. You didn't miss much. We put away Christmas, went to story time at the library, and got visited by the stomach flu fairy - that one was not too fun. Then I had my birthday, had my hair done, and we found some new people to rent our old house. Must have been the weather harshin' our gig. We hardly took any pictures. Hopefully the rest of February will be more interesting.

Sophia is a chatter box now and has become very opinionated about what she does and does not want to do, eat, and watch (luckily she still lets me pick out her clothes!). My mom reminds me that some of the whiny behavior is probably due to the three molars that still have not come in -she did get one last month.

Today Sophia had a breakdown in See's Candy Shop when I wouldn't let her have a second piece of candy. The lady felt so bad that she made her up a bag of chocolate chips for after lunch (though she was still upset because she wanted it NOW). She was still sad when I took her next door to pick up some soup at Quizno's (side note: their broccoli cheddar is not as good as it is at TOGO's). The Quizno's cashier felt bad too, so she gave her a chocolate chip cookie. Since it was in a sealed bag, I let her carry it all the way home, which appeased her. She forgot all about the goodies after she had some lunch. Note to self: Don't go to the candy shop until after the toddler has had lunch. That was a rookie mistake.
