Life of Hootie Hoo #2--Sophie Sugai: 2014

Well, another year has come and gone!!! I can't believe that we welcomed you into this world 4 years ago. Since coming into this world, you added so much to our family. You have made me a better mommy. I love your compassionate heart. When you see someone...your baby sister and brother upset, you go to comfort them. I love your reserved spirit in new situations...I see this maybe turning into a discerning spirit. Even though we are working on you not shutting down complete in new situations, I see it as a positive. You use caution...once you get comfortable in the situation, you tackle things with full force...another thing I love about you. I love when you put your mind to something, you don't give up. I wonder where you got that trait from?

You continue to grow in so many areas in school...your reading is improving so much. I love how you change your voice for the different characters in the story. You are excelling in math...can count to 100, you know the simple shapes like circle, square, etc. and the more complex ones like trapezoid, quatrafoil, etc. Your handwriting and coloring are improving so much. You are starting to spell words on your own. A lot of times, you just pick up information as I teach Josiah...even though I try to keep his teaching time separate from you.

Sophie, I am so proud of the young girl you are turning into. I look forward to seeing how you grow and who you will become. I pray that you will always submit to the Lord and seek Him for guidance. Happy Birthday, Sophie Sugai!! We love you so much!
