...to my mom and dad. My parents often remind me how difficult I was to raise, particularly between the ages of, oh, 2 - 18. Now that they have had a chance to watch me in action with Sophie, all they can do is laugh. Karma is a b*&^%, if you know what I mean. They are really relishing in watching me plead with Sophie because she refuses to eat anything for breakfast. They share glances and often shake their heads in awe when they are blessed enough to witness Grumpy Sophie, moments before a tantrum strikes. And they find every opportunity to remind me that when Sophie is misbehaving or being...dare I say it, overdramatic, they express to me how much she reminds them of how I was as a little girl. I think my dad has even mistakenly called Sophie by my name because the similarities are so striking. Thanks Mom and Dad....and while I'm at it....I'm sorry!
I'm doing my best to remain hopeful at this point. She's a feisty one, but she's also a bright, caring, and expressive little girl. Never did I think a 3-year-old would cause me to have to think so critically all the time, but it's okay. She challenges me everyday with her creativity, inquisitiveness, and intelligence. I can only hope I can keep up with her for the next several years!

Something tells me Big Cheryl can keep up with Mini Cheryl for many years to come! She is lucky to have you and Tim as parents, the fun will never end in that family!
CLEARLY, your parents are confusing you with some other child. :)
