Just so you know

Sofia says, "I can see you with the eyes on the back of my head, sis, just so you know."

listening

Sofia woke up and came in our room near midnight. I took her back to bed and tucked her in again. "What woke you up?" I asked her.

"I coudn't remember the shape of a butterfly's wing," she said.

"That's what woke you up?"

"No."

"Do you remember what did?"

"I was just enjoying the sounds that life was giving me?"

"When you were sleeping?"

"No, when I was lying here listening."

Then she fell back asleep.

Slurp

Sometimes it's so good you just gotta Slurp

Two backs

Sofia tells me I have two backs. I think about it for a second and realize she is right. I have one in front and one in back.

Seekless

Sofia brought me a red bell on a tray and said, "I have a seekless treasure for you under this bell." 

"Seekless?"

"Yes, that means you will never stop seeking it."

I picked up the red bell and underneath it was a black sea shell.

Sofia sings

Christmas is true, if you believe in it. I'm going to marry Christmas, yes I am. Christmas is African, Christmas is from China. Christmas is true.

Not that!

Lucia likes to say, "not that! "Whenever something comes up she doesn't want.

She also wines "Okaaay." Specially when she gives in.
