You are 7 years old and you are just a little gem. I have two stories to describe your personality right now and i hope you never ever change:

1. Last night before bed we were chatting and i asked you what you wanted for Xmas this year and your response was “Hmm, i dont know. It is too hard because we already have so much. I mean we have toys now that we dont even play with. I really can’t think of anything. Maybe just surprise me”.
2. Your teacher pulled me aside the other day and said you gave her chills at school. She told me there is a spanish girl in your class who sits alone at her desk and has a few learning disabilities (just a bit behind i guess in writing and math) anyways, she said your seat is next to Riley each day. That day after lunch you came back to class and you sat next to Yancy (the spanish girl). Riley hollered out to you “Sophie why aren’t you in your seat next to me?” and you said “Oh well i just thought i would sit with Yancy today because she doesn’t have anyone sitting next to her ever”. Ugh, you rock. Teacher Katya said she got chills up her arms and that you are a really special child. She said she loves you so very much and has only ever met one other kid like you (who she wants you to meet and be friends with). You are empathetic, intuitive, and true to yourself always. I am so lucky to be your mom. You make the world better.
