In Sofi news:
She seems to know her left from her right. When I put her hands through her coat or shirt or sweater I ask "Which hand is this?" and she gets it right!

I made up a new car game for the two of us. We look for arrows, numbers and letters. And today at the grocery store, she named the letters in many of the signs around. "s...l..a...r...u...t...a...n" The sign was vertical and she was reading it from bottom to top.

She is also now familiar with the check-out routine. At our grocery store, the cart is given to the checker and he rings up the items as he/she removes them from the cart. And I stand on the other side of the counter. And Sofi is usually in the cart when this occurs. At first she would cry and want to be taken out of the cart, but now she will even tolerate the checker's greetings or comments on her cute shoes or pants or face! Plus, she knows that if we are buying something we have to BUY it first before opening it. And she will happily hand over the item to the check-out person herself.

Today, I got her a small yellow - conversation heart pillow with "I (heart) u" embroidered on the front. "yewwow heart" she said to the checker as handed it over! Very cute.
