My Little Tomboy...

You would think from the pictures above that a little boy lives in our house. Well the answer is no, just two little girls. However my oldest little girl, Sophia (2 yrs) has developed a strong attraction to toy cars, trucks, and pretty much anything with wheels! She has acquired quite the little collection and will line them up in a row in various places of the house. In the photo above she lined all her cars and trucks on the windowsill and then moved them all to the floor. Why she lines them up, I'm not quite sure. But there must be a method to her madness, lol.

Every time she sees an airplane she points up to the sky and says, "me's airplane mom." She's trying to tell me she wants to go ride on the airplane, lol. I tell her we will soon coming up in October when we're going to Hawaii. She also will run around the house flapping her arms pretending to be an airplane.

Sophia also has a toy tool set that we got her for Christmas that she carries around the house with her. She'll stop with her tool set in hand and say, "broken", "me's fix it." She then proceeds to pull out her hammer and screw driver and goes to town. I remember loving to dig in the mud and play with worms and bugs when I was younger, but never was I as into cars and tools like she is. I wonder where she gets it from?

*On a side note Sophia is doing wonderful with potty training and has now been wearing underwear for a week! She only wears a pull up at night and during naptime just in case she has a accident. But to my surprise she has also been waking up with a dry pull up too! So in a couple weeks we will start having her wear underwear at night as well! Only having to change one set of diapers is so nice and less expensive too! Way to go Sophia! We love you BIG girl!

That is Elly, too! She loves things with wheels. Any time we're at my parent's house, she lines all the cars up along the coffee table.
