A Visit From the Littlest Messinas and Foo Tries to Take a Nap.

                                   Cohen will be walking on his own soon!

                         Sophia shows Mommy and Cohen her water colors.

Sophia thinks Foo-Foo needs to be  covered for his nap .

 Foo thinks he is just fine without the covers.....thank you very much!                                                               

Leaf Rain

When Sophia asked to go outside I told her no, it was raining.  She ran to the window and asked, "Couldn't I could put on boots and go out because it's just leaf rain?"  She had seen the leaves falling in profusion from the trees and not being able to see the rain  figured the ground was the only thing wet, therefore, boots would do!  

  I said she could use my umbrella, and run out for just a minute while I stood on the porch and watched her.  This made her happy.

 Sophia again practices her photography skills using Cohen and I as her subjects.  She also took pictures of her pizza, the curtains, and the floor.  I'll leave those to your imagination.

I discovered Sophia asleep with a balloon I had given her this morning floating above her head.  She had wrapped the balloon's ribbon tie around her wrist.  I had to get a picture and discovered something wrong with the camera.  All of the pictures were very blurred.  I couldn't figure it out. After I got home and downloaded the pics it came to me.....it's grease from Sophia's fingers on the camera's lens!  I had to laugh.  I was able to clean it all off.  My shirt tail did the trick.... 

 One bright maple sapling.

I brought Sophia a pony.  She jumped right on and rode down the hall to her room to get her cow girl hat.  She gave me a

"Hey there partner.", and galloped off.  I asked her for a picture and very happily she obliged.   

 At nap time she put her hoodie on her head telling me she was a princess and asked me to cover her pony up with her.  This is how she went to sleep.

 Cohen's serious look for the camera at lunch time.

 Cohen pulls himself up to watch out the door.  There is so much to see!  Just processing the sight is hard work!

Finally, I catch that beautiful smile to share! Now, if I could just get a shot of those two teeth he has!
