I feel bad for calling Sophie horrible a few posts ago...

Just wanted to update everyone. Sophia has been doing much better this last week. We're hoping we've FINALLY reached some sort of understanding about the fit throwing and how it doesn't get her the results she's after. I'm probably jinxing myself terribly, but I did want to go on record as having recognized her efforts at somewhat decent behavior. Sacrament meeting was actually somewhat pleasant with her today. THAT is some serious progress, let me tell you.

The other day it got really quiet--a worrisome thing around here--so I went looking for Sophie and finally found her in her closet, with the door shut, buck naked and when I opened the door, Harry shot out of there like his life depended on it. My guess is that it did. I have no idea what she was doing. Later on I figured out how she got him up there as I watched her luring him up, step by step by flashing a flashlight on each stair. He CANNOT resist chasing any kind of moving light. So he was helplessly drawn to what could have been his own doom. We're starting to think she may be some kind of genius. Now if we can only harness that genius for good.

So here's a clip that is fun to watch of her copying her sisters while they practiced a dance routine.



And here's one illustrating Harry's obsession with moving lights. Jim was adjusting the projector and Harry started going nuts, so of course he had to take a minute to mess with him--and I had to get it on video.
