Sofia- She passed her preschool screening even with the extra points she needed to make for being four! I ended up bringing Josie with us for moral support but Josie was really quiet. Her presence may have helped as far as I know. She surprised me with a couple things, like building a bridge with blocks after seeing the teacher make it (the other two didn't have to do that being only 3 years old). She can't hop on one foot, but I knew that already.
Sofia still holds her hair as she sucks her thumb and she has a very strong imagination. She also has a strong need to fit in with her sisters. Sofia- but any of them, really- will quickly make an alliance with a sister or other family member based on something like shared favorite foods, a similar colored shirt they are wearing, etc. It is very interesting! I frequently hear "You're my friend.... 'cuz we both _______(like the cereal "Life", like Chipotle, wearing pink)." I wonder if this is a typical four year old thing or a competition to be paired up with a sister and not get left out. I have a feeling it is just an age appropriate attribute, but probably magnified because of their "situation".
Here are some of her favorites if you were to ask her....
Food- Chipotle or "Potle"
Color- Pink
Animal- Deer
TV show- Diego
Stuffed Animal- Bo the dog, any of her deer
Toy (which is a separate category from stuffed animals, according to all of them)- deer (rubber figurine)
Phrase we hear often- "I can't know"
What she wants to be when she's bigger- a mommy :) or Santa, depending on her mood
Other things that are associated with Sofia- Tinker Bell, Ariel, dogs, deer
Here are some of her 4 year portraits: the winner, some OK ones, and some outtakes!
