Sophie Troubles

Savannah loves playing on our porch. She especially loves to blow bubbles out there. This works perfectly for me because it keeps her entertained for HOURS and I can sit at the kitchen table where I can keep an eye on her and at the same time get some school work done.
The only problem is, she doesn't like to be out there by herself; she usually makes the dog go out there with her. One day she brought Sophie out there. But then Savannah started chasing Sophie on her bike, which Sophie did NOT like. First chance she got Sophie came running back into the house. This upset Savannah who preceded to try to convince Sophie to come back out on the porch. First she tried standing outside with the door open trying to coax Sophie out. Then she tried commanding her out, "SOPHIE! OUT! OUT!" When that didn't work she tried pulling Sophie out the door by her collar. That didn't work either so Savannah got behind her and started trying to push Sophie out the door. Sophie just sat down. Savannah let out a few frustrated, very exaggerated huffs, gave up and went outside without the dog. I only wish I had gotten it all on video.

That is hilarious! I really wish you had caught that on tape. Also, I hope you can make it out here next month. (We're still waiting to hear if we stay or go.)

So cute and very well written up, Stephanie! So happy that you have posted a few things, you will be really, really happy that you took the time to do this when your children are 30 years old and you want to look back! This will be a delightful journal for them to enjoy as well! Good job! I love this cute little story, too!
