We get a lot of questions about how our youngest daughter is doing through all of this. Therefore, today's blog is dedicated to Sophia. She is little sister, best friend and partner in crime. She is a four year old going on fifteen. She is our "Pia". She does not miss a step. For instance, Pia on a typical day like last Monday...I had to go to Turlock for a managers meeting so Edgar was in charge of getting Natalia to Valley Childrens to do her blood work and Sophia to the pediatricans off ice for her flu shot. Pia held Natalia's hand through her blood work and then Natalia held her hand (Pia shares Edgar's fear of needles) and told her how to breath during Pia's shot. On their way home, Edgar received a phone call and of course he answered it and spoke on his cell phone while driving. When they got home, Pia got her pen and spiral notebook, wrote a few letters on it, ripped it out and gave it to Edgar. When he asked what it was the answer surprised him..."It's a ticket for talking on the phone while driving. It's against the law and you shouldn't be doing it."
She also wants things to "go back to normal." She wants her old house with her Winnie the Pooh curtains. She wants Momma & Papa's old bed and most of all she wants sissy to be able to play with her like she did before. She is a tough little cookie that does not want to be separated from us at all. If she is going to school..."who is picking me up?" If she goes off with her godmother..."when am I coming back?" She remembers being left when we were first going to UCSF to find out just what was the matter with Natalia and she is making sure that it does not happen again.
Sophia has 2 speeds in life...full throtle and complete stop. The closer she gets to complete stop the faster she moves. She can be talking to you one moment and the be passed out the next. She believes that her big sister has to try something before she will do it. While her sister is the general, Pia is a tactical master and nothing stops her once her mind is made up. She gives determination meaning. She is also completely adorable and uses it to her full advantage. Most people melt with just one look into those liquid brown eyes.
Simply put...she is Sophia.
Love to you all,
Roni

That is CLASSIC! She sounds like quite a dynamic little personality!
