Sophie In The Morning

The ballerina and toy soldier she saw in 'The Engine That Could'

amazing heels...

Sophie has the habit of waking up extremely early (can even be 5 plus in the morning) just to draw or create something. And this morning, she drew two pictures for her friends in school. Papa told me he has seen great improvement in her drawing and colouring over the last few months. I think she's progressing indeed and I'm happy. In the car today, she said she wants to be a fashion designer when she grows up and draw dresses. And I think maybe she's finally found a passion that she can sustain...

Apparently, the kids have been drawing and giving one another little tokens of love (friendship). She also brought back some from her friends... I am so glad to see these little notes. I always worry that Sophie would have no friends because of her strong character. I see her talk to and play with the other kids but sometimes I wonder if they are playing with her or just ignoring her. At least now I know she does have friends.
