missing Dad...

Dan's in his last week of class before finals and we're already starting to feel the strain. He's had to stay at school a bit more, we know it will get worse over the next few weeks but Sophie finds little ways to remember her dad while he's gone all day...

The "peeping tom" picture needs an explanation because I think it's HILARIOUS!! I know I probably shouldn't encourage this behavior... but I sort of do. Let me explain myself, Dan is very worried about Sophie seeing him dressed inappropriately, worst of all NAKED! I've tried to explain to him that she doesn't care or even notice. She sees me naked everyday, no big deal right? Someone told me children don't have any permanent memories prior to age 3. Dan's always been funny about this, even when she was a newborn who didn't even open her eyes he'd get really mad at me if I walked into the bed room with her while he was getting dressed. Anyway, I think he's being ridiculous and think it's so funny to tease him. Sophie started getting curious about the shower going in the morning and was very happy to find that her dad was in there when she pulled back the curtain. Now she thinks of it as a game, she'll just sit there with the curtain pulled back and get her face and hair all wet just smiling at Dan. I can't stop laughing because Dan is incredibly uncomfortable trying to hide in the shower while sweet innocent little Sophie is laughing at him thinking he's being funny!! So what do I do? Take a picture of course. As for the other two, fairly self-explanatory, Sophie really likes to wear her Dad's hat. The funny thing is that once she has it on she has to walk around, what's the point of wearing a hat without strutting? Sophie put Dan's basketball jersey on the other day while I was doing laundry and was SO proud of herself, as you clearly can see.

In other news; Sophie's been a little under the weather. She seems to have some sort of stomach flu except that she has no other signs of being sick (aside from the throwing up, sorry to be so graphic). Anyway, I have been taking her temperature with her ear thermometer (much quicker and easier than the rectal variety!). Since we put it in her ear she thinks it's a cell phone. She has been walking around holding it up to her ear saying "HI!" the last couple days I think it is incredibly cute.
