Destined to become EVIL

Sophia and I got a Mami & Daughter date yesterday. We met our friends Amy and her kids as well as her sister-inlaw Emily Nelson, the current Mrs. Utah, at Kangaroo Zoo. Gabriela was home sick with a cold and had no idea her little sister was out having fun without her. Sophia was so brave. She tried out everything. She climbed right up and over this big slide and then was on to bigger and better slides. She would have climbed them all if they had handles like this one. It was great to talk to Emily and she gave me some great advice for the pageant. Very nice girl. Weeeeee
She climbed up about half way and then slid down next to the stairs. I was so impressed by her enthusiasm and lack of fear from heights.
Now to the evil part. Poor Sophia is always labeled the Evil queen, the mean witch, or the monster whenever my niece comes to visit Gabriela. They spend their time running from her. I think Sophia is starting to believe it. She's so mischevious and likes to play tricks and irritate people. She'll chase them with sticks and run and snatch toys out of their hands and then run for her life. She's smart and she knows what she's doing. She's also a little devil when it comes to bedtime. I think we have to take her back to bed at least 5 times before she stays, and even then we are threatening her life. For some reason she gets a shot of adrenaline at bedtime and thinks it's a game.
Doesn't she look mean and tough in these shots.
She's supposed to be a pirate but she looked more like she was ready to ride a Harley Davidson.
This is the tough look. She's not princessy like Gabriela.
Check out Julianne's new sleeping companioin. Crazy huh. I saw this on a neat website called www.babysteals.com. Anyways, this is designed to help them sleep during the day. It blocks out light so they can sleep. She did take a good nap today in the swing.
She decided to get in on the pirate action too. She looks like the poor kid who has to scrub the deck, but we love her.

Back to the menacing big sister.

I'm liking the pirate get-ups, Were you guys brainstorming for Halloween, or just having some fun? Either way you have a cute bunch of little girls!
