I can't believe she is 6!!!

My baby is 6...how did this happen so fast.....she is growing and maturing at such a fast rate now it is scary!! Although, she does revert back to a 2 year old on occasion and sometimes resembles a 16 year old, it is so confusing raising a girl. Sophie is such a sweet 6 year old though and her expressions and little sayings keep us all so entertained. She loves to quote funny movie lines, dances and cheers constantly and loves to sing and do crafts and sew with her grandma. Her favorite outdoor activites are swimming, gardening and yelling at the top of her lungs (I think this is because our kids are not supposed to yell or run in our house because we are mean parents).

She has an independent streak right now and we often hear eachother saying "oh, the drama of Sophie"....I mean we have tons of drama going on over here. The other day we went for a bike ride and Sophie took off twice from us and we could not find her without the help of a neighbor who had seen her. So, when Michael grounded her from her bike right then and there she started screaming that it was the worst bike ride of her life and she was never going with us again-EVER!!!!! Much to the amusement of our other neighbor who just looked at us with sympathy and says" Oh, the drama, I know I raised three girls". On that note Michael and I just shrugged our shoulders and went inside following a ranting and door slamming Sophie.

But, it is all worth it because she is the light of our lives. Michael, Tiler and I know we have created a monster by loving Sophie so much that she thinks the world revolves around her! I wonder what she will be like at 7?!?
