Miss Sophie: Ten Things I Love About You




  1. Your imaginative, magical, quirky world-view and the charmingly off-kilter way that you report it.
  2. Your ability to notice and truly celebrate difference and make no judgments about gender or ethnicity:
    “Mommy, I met the most beautiful boy at school today. He’s black like me and has the most wonderful hair. He wears it in a ballerina bun with a tissue on top.”
  3. The way you greet, kiss, cuddle and hug your little sister when you wake up in the morning.
  4. Your newfound passion for letters and phonics.
  5. Your quirky name selections/substitutions for our pets:
    The Beta fighting fish: Princess Mascara
    The oversized, male rottweiler officially known as “Zeuss”: Aurora
  6. That you don’t walk, you flutter.
  7. That you aspire to be a mermaid, go to pixie school and butterfly work – and that you believe your mama when she says Harvard is a castle and exactly the right place to work on all of these aspirations.
  8. That you would never sit on a chair if a lap is available.
  9. That you worry that I am hurting the dog’s feelings when I use my ‘outside voice’ with him.
  10. Your amazing ability to remember songs, artists and lyrics (even the ones I wish you had never heard or would forget!)
  11. Your beautiful manners that I never had to teach you.
  12. That I can’t stop at a mere ten items because I am in madly in love with everything about you. You are a miracle and I adore you.

    one day soon she will read this and many years from now she will think of it when she is holding her baby, she’ll pick up the phone and call you… Really beautiful and true Kelly.
