Sophie's Blog: Hello this is Sophie writing 20 sentences for my blog today! As you know over the weekend I had my big play. In case you're wondering, it went GREAT! On the first night, Friday, it could've gone better. But we all had the bejeebers!! I forgot my picture of the house I needed to show Mr. Kringle or Santa Claus! I improvised big time. I just described it to him, and he caught on and saved me. Also in the court room scene the judge didn't appear for like 2 minutes, he was all ready and everything but the director was talking to him and they both forgot it was his scene! But Saturday's performance and Sunday's performance were as perfect as can be. I had a lot of fun at rehearsal for the play and I think it paid off big time. In the last two days I finished my vests for the triplets. I made them and did all of the sewing myself and they look awesome. I hope the girls will like them. Another exciting thing that happened to me this week is that I caught Lily's cold and now me and mom are sick. WHAT A BUMMER! So I can't wait for next week because it's Christmas! I can see me now on Christmas morning taking pictures with that wonderful I-pod touch. Hopefully! This weekend is the skating show. I can't wait for that either!!! A lot of things are exciting around Christmas. I think I've written more than 20 sentences by now but I just really enjoy telling all of you about me and my life and all of the cool stuff that's happening to me. The machine now says that I've written exactly 291 words! WOW! I hope Lily get's her D.S on Christmas. She really deserves it. Now I've written on 2 pages so goodbye, thanks for reading about me. (I feel Special!) -Sophie
