Sophie has learned to write her name (and strangely mine and Jo's too). Not sure where she learned this ... not from us that's for sure. Here's a pic of the little minx doing a bit of crafty homework with the fridge magnets. 
It's not all high brow activity in this house though. Here she is pretending to be a dog ...
Sophie had her first ballet lesson this evening and I think it's fair to say she's completely hooked. It was nice to watch her through the window going through the motions ... in her orange cardi surrounded by the rest of the class in pink tutus (Mum won't be allowed to make that mistake again). Sophie is now going to "early birds" class as I drop her off at school before work. This is a temporary measure until the current ice age ends and the thick ice covering our neighbourhood roads retreats back to the poles (... and Jo is happy to drive again). Check out Sophie's new bedroom. She has moved to a bigger room downstairs to free up a bit of space. The Beast is happy with this arrangement as she likes to hang out in Sophie's room but doesn't like to climb stairs.
