Happy Birthday Sofia!!!

Sofia turned 4 today at 6:17am EST (12:17pm Prague time). It is unbelievable to me that she has been here for 4 years. The last 4 years have seen a lot of changes and I feel like she changes every day. I was thrilled when she said to me today, "Mommy, I'm 4 now so now I'm a big girl and will always listen to you.". I know there is no way that will be maintained but it is a nice thing to hear. I sent cupcakes in to school with Sofia today and she had a good day with her friends at school. They sang her happy birthday and she had a great day. We let Sofia choose what she wanted for her birthday dinner and she chose Pad Thai! Who would have thought Pad Thai would be a favorite food of a 4 year old. In addition to the Pad Thai request she also requested chopsticks to eat her pad thai and she did a very good job with them. We opened presents before dinner and Sofia was very excited about all her presents. It will be interesting to see how excited she gets on Saturday when we have her birthday party with all her friends.
