We went to a play date yesterday morning and nothing seemed to hold Sophia's attention for very long. She tried playing with puzzles, snacking on pretzels and even dancing (hopping) with Zoe. Sophia had a hard time getting along with the other kids and was back to her old tricks ~ hitting, but once we went outside she seemed to mellow quite a bit. She enjoyed riding in the "truck" and driving it to work. She kept waving and saying BYE to everyone. She even found a lunch box and put it in the back of the truck.
Ironically enough when we were back inside she wandered off for a minute into Zoe's bedroom and came running out seconds later with Barney! She was smiling from ear to ear and hugging Barney with all her might! I am the luckiest mom in the whole world! Lori, Zoe's mom, gave the Barney doll to Sophia. She told me that Zoe only wanted the Barney doll when she was obsessed with the color purple, and now that the phase is over she never plays with Barney anymore.
Barney talks and sings when you press his belly or hand and Sophia can't seem to get enough of him. She slept for 3 full hours when we got home - with Barney in the crib with her. I can only imagine what a magical place she must have gone to in her dreams.
