Belle et La Sophia

Some friends give you hugs...

Some friends give you kisses...

And some friends give you...

A GOLDFISH FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY!!!

Our good friends, the Tuckers, surprised our Sophia with a cute little, non-pooping, invisibly peeing, no needing a midnight walk, very very low maintenance goldfish yesterday.  Such a neat-o gift!  She has since been named Belle (as in Belle et La Bete... Beauty and the Beast) ....  only after a lengthy debate as to whether "it" is a she or a he.  After deeming her a she, I continued to call her a he as to which Sophia informed me that she must be a she.. she is pretty like a girl, soft and probably has a bunch of shoes.

 

La Petite Souris

In France, it isn't the Tooth Fairy that comes to collect the precious little baby teeth... it is La Petite Souris (the little mouse).  So, two weeks ago, while sitting in the back seat of our car in the parking lot of NorAuto while Freddie purchased a bike rack for his new set of wheels, Sophia pulled out her very own tooth just a few weeks shy of her fifth birthday.  We were suspicious that it was helped out during a wrestling accident a month or so ago but, nope, a few days later we saw the first bumps of the new permanent tooth peeking out of her gums.  It is so bittersweet to see them passing these milestones into grown up hood.

Time goes on and on and on...  Oh how I wish we could slow down the clock.
