February update (a little late)

Where does the time go?  Do I start every post like this?  I should.  Time flies by.  Here it is May and I am writing about February.  I guess it is better late than never.  February was a pretty slow month.  Sophia continues to do well in school.  She says her favorite part of school is recess and lunch (like most kids do!)  She enjoys learning and is excited about her work.  The school is having a science fair in April and Sophia would like to participate.  We have been talking about what kind of experiment she will do.


Sophia went to a Father Daughter Dance in February.  This was a Daisy/Brownie activity  Both Dad and Sophia looked great and had a lot of fun.

Sophia had a blast raising money for Jump Rope for Heart which helps fund research for to prevent/cure heart disease in children.  Sophia made a short video to send out to family and friends.  She raised over $150.  She even donated some of her allowance to this.  She practiced her jump rope skills for weeks.  She loved participating in the activity.

During one of Sophia's horse back riding lessons we were approached by an owner of a four year old thoroughbred (a big horse.)  She would like to start showing her horse more and asked if Sophia would be interested in riding it in shows.  Evidently Sophia shows some natural ability and the owner of the horse spoke to her instructor who is willing to coach Sophia.  We will try it out this spring.  We bought the required outfit on consignment.  Sophia loves the horse back riding but is not thrilled about the outfit!
